This is a common phrase/question that people employ when asking us booksellers for suggestions for their friends and family. "Well, he/she loved so-and-so...what else is like that" In fact, that is very helpful when trying to recommend books, knowing other books & authors that they like.
But sometimes one can get stuck in a rut and cannot come up with a wide selection of suggestions. Let's help each other find new books based on books we already enjoy. Adult, young adult, whatever you like!
Here are some Specific Titles that might prompt some suggestions:
-If you liked Harry Potter, you'll love...
-If you liked Twilight, you'll love...
-IF you liked Murder on the Orient Express, you'll love...
-If you liked Little House on the Prairie, you'll love...
-----------------------
Or if you would prefers to make suggestions per Genre:
If you like fantasy/magical adventures, you'll love...
If you like historical fiction/realistic adventures, you'll love...
If you like graphic novels, you'll love...
If you like biographies & memoirs, you'll love...
If you like travel essays, you'll love...
(And if you want to recommend books in an unmentioned genre, please do!)
