Story elements browsing 
Our reading experts have developed a signature set of story elements that dives deep into the facets of stories and characteristics. This includes facets we know matter to readers, like mood/appeal, characters, diversity, themes, genres, and more. Our interactive story elements mixer is unique to NoveList Select and uncovers titles readers may never have found before. 

The power of choice 
It can be disappointing to get recommendations that feel generic, as if they were meant for nobody in particular. At NoveList, we know that every reader is unique, and their reasons for reading are personal to them. That’s why we take the time to include explanations and the reason why we’re recommending a book, putting the power of choice in the hands of readers.  

The reason why
Our popular "reason why" language, written and signed by our book experts, helps readers decide if a book, author, or series will be right for them. No more dead-end searches — only satisfied readers.

Reader reviews 
NoveList Select is the only catalog enrichment service to include millions of Goodreads reader reviews for additional insights.

Ehost or EDS 
NoveList Select provides curated, professionally generated recommendations to titles that are actually held within a customer's collection, pushing inventory and avoiding dead-end searches. Now, this same valuable functionality can be added to Ehost or EDS. 

NoveList Select + Bibliotheca 
The trusted recommendations you love in your catalog are available at self-check through our exclusive partnership with Bibliotheca, a leading provider of innovative library technology. When a book is scanned at Bibliotheca's self-service solutions, read-alikes from NoveList will be displayed, as long as the library has an active subscription to NoveList Select. Readers can place suggested titles on hold or print or email the list to use later.
