I used to hate all the new covers but I must admit I have a daughter who really does judge her books on them... The 'hip' new covers have made a difference a number of times.

It's well worth a little inconvenience on my part.

I swear, bar codes covering the protagonist's faces on covers will be the death of me. Thx for bringing attention to our neurosis! Can’t tell you how long I laughed over this post!

This book is amazing! I picked it up at my library last weekend and my friend and I pored over the whole thing. Definitely a Caldecott contender. Yes! This book is amazing!

But the idea of crowd sourcing does impact librarian purchases, whether it's Goodread ratings or features such as popularity rankings on Titlewave. What I appreciate about blogs or Goodreads is the opportunity to develop relationships. It takes Macleans notions of recommendations from people you know and broadens it into a bigger network.
