    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!

Reading Profile

  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...
