The add-the-title Sporcle games were a lot of fun; there were a couple of photos that made me squint and think "What IS that?" And why did I think The Lost Symbol cover was The DaVinci Code? I've handled that book hundreds of times! And that Bridge to Terabithia did me in. It also reminded me that I'm terrible at racing the clock. It might be related to my subpar typing skills.
Don't hold me at gunpoint to quiz me about the subgenres in science fiction/fantasy. Those readers always seem to know exactly what they want, so I can't tell you much about space operas. Luckily we have a terrific new parttime librarian (Ericka) here at Pikesville who can bail me out.
It's hard to decide which overall book sites to follow. I already look at EarlyWord daily; I usually end up placing multiple holds for myself over the week. In the past I've looked at NPR only occasionally, but now I"ll commit to it for this training. Our customers frequently ask for titles they've heard on NPR. I also like the looks of Book Beast, so I'll probably start reading it regularly as well.
As far as genres go, I'm going with USA Today Happy Ever After. The site is nicely laid out, fun and informative. I don't read romance or chicklit, and I think this will be very helpful as we enter the season for beach reads. I need to be better versed on lighter choices.
