Can your library do this?

I just discovered a cool feature on the Denver Public Library's website called Fiction Connection. Bowker (Books in Print) runs it. It allows you to search for fiction by interesting topics (family secrets, poor neighborhood, and color blindness were a few that jumped out at me), genre, settings, and characters. You also can enter the titles and authors of books you like and find ones in a similar vein.

You have to have a Denver library card to use it on their site. If you're not in Denver, see if your library offers Fiction Connection.
