A friend of mine has a ton of great books that I've never even heard of. I asked her about it and she said she's found most them by looking up the authors of books she already knows she likes and seeing what else they have written. I liked this idea so I started doing it with Norah's Sonlight 4-5 reader list and I've already found some great titles that way. The book on Sonlight's list was called "More Stories From Grandma's Attic." So I looked up other books by that author and found a book that was meant to come before it called "In Grandma's Attic." So I gave this to Norah before I gave her the book on Sonlight's list. In this way, I hope I can keep finding more good books that aren't on some of the main lists.
