    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!

  Hello! I am a book enthusiast and librarian. I love attending book clubs and sharing discussions about books with others. In my previous role at the library, I ran two book clubs, now I get to attend them without the pressure of leading the group. :) While I love checking books out at the library, my favorites end up on my bookshelf at home! Belle is my favorite Disney princess because she has a beautiful library! That is my dream! To be surrounded by my favorite stories! I read a lot of different genres (one of the book clubs I attend intentionally picks a different genre each month! Wow! That really expanded the selection of books that I like!). My go to genres are thrillers, YA, historical fiction, with a bit of nonfiction tossed in. I love books with surprises that I did not see coming and ones that inspire me. My favorite authors and books are everchanging! I'm always stressed when people ask me for my favorite book - I could never have just one! But here are my current favo...

Prompt 5: eBooks and Audiobooks

Image
I have to admit, there is something about the feel of a book in my hands that makes me happy. This is a conversation that I have held with many patrons! But out of convenience, I find e-Books and audiobooks to be great tools. I have even been known to read the same story via a physical book and an ebook at the same time. I read the physical book all day and switch to the ebook at night or when I do not want to carry the actual book. This way I can switch seamlessly between the formats that work best for me at the moment. I personally struggled a bit with audiobooks at first. I would lose track of the story and struggle to keep track of multiple characters.  So audiobooks lost some of their appeal for me. However, I would say that even throughout this class, I have gotten better and can now listen to a book while I get things done around the house. This adds appeal because being tight on time does not mean I have to wait to dive into a good book. I can do dishes, make dinner, take o...

Book Club Experience

Image
A Night with Books and Brews Bookclub The Club I had the great pleasure of attending the local Books and Brews Book Club in February. The library typically hosts this club once a month at different restaurants around the city and has around 15 regular attendees. Due to COVID, the group is meeting online in a zoom room. The meetings last from 1 to 3 hours depending on the book, the number of people attending, and the topics that arise during the conversation each night! The Questions The librarian began the meeting and had everyone introduce themselves to start. Then she began with a prepared question but allowed the group’s conversation to flow naturally. When it got quiet, she would prompt with another question. The attendees would answer first, but they wanted her input, which she would give after everyone else answered.  I had listened to the audiobook, so I participated in the conversation. This was not my favorite book ever, but there were parts that I did enjoy. The group did...
