Best way to find similar books in SFR?

[Celestine]

Is it getting harder to find quality science fiction romance books among the drivel being pushed through the "customer also read" lists? Where are you finding the gems, and how?

I do love SFR Station (http://www.sfrstation.com/)! Sub-genre and pairing type lists, among other great ways to see books out there!

I have lots of sources. Facebook pages for a) The Scifi Romance Group. They don't always talk books, but also often do. b) Science Fiction Romance Brigade fanpage. Various blogs and websites: Spacefreighter's Lounge, Smart Girls Love Sci Fi, Tor.com. And many sci fi romance writers often highlight other authors on their on blogs. Pauline Baird Jones, Greta Van der Rol and Veronica Scott to name a few. I agree - SFR Station is also a good one!

Thanks! I'm on a few blogs and web pages, but you've provided a few new places to explore.

The SFR Station is very awesome. There's some new stuff debuting this summer, so keep checking it.

Jessica Subject is doing an SFR Monday thing all summer long on her blog, spotlighting a different author every Monday. You can also go to Anna Hackett's blog and look through the February, 2015 archive. The entire month was different SFR authors.

Some excellent suggestions here (and thanks for mentioning my personal blog!) I also write the SciFi Encounters column for USA Today Happily Ever After, which appears every other Thursday. Sometimes I talk about fantasy but usually science fiction romance. Here's the archive of links to my posts: https://veronicascott.wordpress.com/v... There's also the Science Fiction Romance Quarterly (a free magazine plus website) http://www.scifiromancequarterly.org/ And The Galaxy Express blog at http://www.thegalaxyexpress.net/

Thanks, everyone. I just spent literally two hours looking at these various resources. Should be fun to explore in the future!

Thank you for all the links everyone, I've also had a difficult time finding good SFR lately.

You might also check out Fantastic Fiction. If you look up an author you love and scroll to the bottom of the page there's usually a list of books they recommend along with several authors people who visited that author's page also visited. I've found several of my current favorite authors that way.

I've been going to The Galaxy Express blog's "published in..." current year list. Then trying to peek at the view inside books on Amazon. If the first pages have typos I run away. Believe me, I've bought ebooks like that and kicked myself.

In addition I cruise all the sites mentioned above.
