    This one sounds really creepy! Though I'm not a horror reader, I do think the graphic you put together is really lovely.

      Amber,

      This was actually my first horror - that's why I picked this genre. I am not very familiar with it. I ended up really liking it. I guess you never know. :)

    Hi Bobbi,

    I've heard so much about Odd Thomas, so it was nice to see your review! Your post is visually stunning, not to mention perfectly on-topic for the horror genre. I appreciate how your "similar authors" section explains why each is recommended for lovers of Odd Thomas.

    Thanks for sharing a wonderful post. I've found another one for by TBR!

    -Daniel Thurston

    Roberta,

    I love that you included book facts! That is such a fun and quick way to learn about a book. I also like that on your similar authors you wrote a little bit about what they write. Your annotation is polished and looks amazing. Well done!

      Thank you, Darla! I find why they are similar to be interesting so I wanted to include it. :)

    I will say I have seen the movie and love it, but did not realize this was an adaptation from the novel. Great design and information on your review. After reading your review, I think I should try reading it since I enjoyed the movie. Then I compare and decide if the movie or novel was better.

    Beautiful layout and I too love the book facts. I always see patrons check out this series - but I only knew the bare bones about it - I feel much more informed after your summary. Full points!

Prompt 9: Marketing

Marketing our fiction section is an important part of what we do. There are a wide variety of ways to promote the items we have available. For our library, I would focus on these three: 1) Book Displays. Saricks (2005) noted that books displays with a small group of books and a descriptive sign are an effective way to promote items in our collection. Our library has designated spots for displays. We utilize different themes for each display and have books ready to check out! I particularly like the idea of a Good Books You May Have Missed cart near our desk. I will be trying this one out! 2) Annotated Book Lists. Annotated book lists that are created by our staff with books that we offer is an important resource (Saricks, 2005). For one of my previous classes, I made one for Teen Stress Relief. It included books, DVDs, programs, and kits (we had meditation kits that included the DVD and meditation pillow). These received a lot of positive feedback and we even had adults saying they...

Prompt 10: Books From the Past to the Future

  How have reading and books changed since you were a child, for you specifically? I was an AVID reader from the time I could read on my own. My mom tells everyone about how she would call me to dinner and I would yell back "I can't right now, I'm reading!".  While I am still an avid reader,  my frequency of diving into a book has changed -  I have responsibilities that cause short periods of time where I am not reading much. However, I just read while I am eating now. :D The formats that I enjoy a story through have changed as well. Even though I still prefer a book in my hands, I do love the convenience of an eBook (I would have been blown away by this format as a kid). I've even been known to have the same title in both formats so I could switch back and forth. I am slowly getting into audiobooks as well which really gives me the ability to do other things while I read a story. Dishes calling my name? No problem! I can listen while I take care of things. In fac...
