Recommended Links – Genre: RT Book Reviews
Recommended Links – Books: Daily Beast
Useful information: In my job and in recommendations for library users, I always think about the abundance of ways people consume information and entertainment; be it in the form of books, magazines, movies, music or from human beings themselves and in what format they prefer: print, audio, digital etc. I enjoy Daily Beast for its consideration of all of these formats and manifestations. RT Book Reviews has brought my attention to more genres/sub genres.
Assignment 2:
I'm loving the ALA Nonfiction readalikes. The Penguin Debut Authors is another favorite, as I am always looking for new blood. The season previews is an invaluable tool, for up and coming books for popular and niche.
I would say, yes, generally the most popular titles at RE are the NYT Bestsellers. From my experience people usually want to read the book after the movie has come out... and they realize that is was originally a book! For those who have already read the book being made into a film, they do like to reread the book first.
Assignment 3:
The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Neil Gaiman
Well Mr. Neil Gaiman is a popular one, from children to adults, Gaiman's appeal is there for new readers, avid readers, hipsters...Pretty much once you read Neil Gaiman, you read all of Gaiman, though some are obviously more powerful than others. This story will appeal to readers who like paranormal/supernatural aspects/characters and adventurous boys conquering mysterious and sometimes frightful obstacles.
Suggested reads: Coraline, Graveyard Book, Neverwhere: Neil Gaiman
Lets throw some girls heriones in there too: Comics or TV Series
Beautiful Creatures, Garcia, Kami
BCPL Suggests:
The book of lost things, Connolly, John
Over sea, under stone, Cooper, Susan
