Week One

Assignment 1:  I do judge books by their covers!  I knew many more children’s books by just their covers than adult books.


Assignment 2:  Nice covers!  The subgenres of fantasy & science fiction were more difficult for me to figure out.

Assignment 3:  These “Golden Rules of Readers Advisory Services” resonate with me.  The one that stands out to me today is “don’t pigeonhole readers.”  Making quick assumptions about reading preferences can be a detriment.  I use Goodreads.com to keep track of books I’ve read and find it a very handy tool.

Assignment 4:  From the Recommended Links I selected EarlyWord as I am unfamiliar with this resource and I find the the layout of the website attractive.  I’ve selected RT Book Reviews as the genre link I’ll monitor.  Romance is a genre I don’t read, but think it will be fun to explore!

Assignment 5:  Reading "Just for fun," was fun!
