Exacerbate Your Shopping Habit

Posted by Steph Auteri

I have a shopping problem. Aside from a-line skirts, tank tops, and newsboy caps, my greatest weakness lies at the bookstore. Unfortunately, I have now found an awesome resource that supplies me with book (and movie, and music) suggestions based upon my favorite titles. And, contrary to the questionable usefulness of the suggestions on other websites, these actually seem quite spot on.

After plugging in my number one guilty pleasure book — Stephen King's It — over at tastekid, I got back the usual list of similar Stephen King books, but also some new titles I had never seen before, in addition to some that I had already read, and loved (House of Leaves!).

I will now spend hours on here building up a massive shopping list of books, DVDs, and CDs. And stick them onto my Amazon Wish List.
