Meet Book DNA, formerly Shepherd.com, a new place to share your favorite books, meet other readers and authors, and feature your own if you are an author. Book DNA matches readers with books based on individual tastes. If you are frustrated with Goodreads (I personally abhor the recent increase in popup ads), check out Book DNA.
Right now readers can submit their favorite five of 2025. Here's mine. My list features the best with rural noir tension and environmental conflict, themes my new novel, Black River, shares.
It's fun to share your favorites and easy to find new ones. All ad free!!
