Great Site for Books

Before I buy a book, I look at the best seller lists, the reviews from NYTimes & WashPost and look for additional reviews.   I also read the first chapter which I have sent to my Kindle and then if I like it, I purchase it.  But there are three other sites that you might be interested in looking at (and I would love to hear about yours in a comment) that I have added to my list in the last year:

• Jeff Schechtman's "Specific Gravity" that includes podcasts with tons of great historians and has become my new go to place for great books
• NPR's Book Podcasts
• Christian Science Monitor Books
