Lugemissoovitusi

Lugemissoovitusi are curated lists of recommended readings prepared for readers, published by libraries, bookstores, schools, media outlets, or online communities. They cover specific themes, genres, age groups, or reading levels.

A typical entry includes title, author, year, genre, format, a short justification or synopsis, and sometimes reading suitability notes. They may provide links, publisher info, and cross-references to related titles.

Purpose and use: They serve as a guide for discovering books, supporting literacy, and fostering reading habit. They are used in readers' advisory by librarians, teachers, book clubs, and media outlets. They can influence choices but are not reviews themselves.

Types and formats: general lists, genre-focused lists, children's lists, awards-based lists, seasonal lists, translated vs. indigenous language, user-generated lists from platforms like Goodreads. They may be curated or crowd-sourced, and updated periodically.

Limitations: subjective nature, potential biases toward popular titles or certain genres; not a substitute for full reviews; readers encouraged to consult diverse sources.

In Estonia context: Lugemissoovitusi are commonly found in Estonian libraries' catalogs and websites, school reading lists, and media magazines; they help highlight Estonian authors and translations and support readers in selecting titles across ages.
