Hey, Blog!
As many training exercises (and most of college) often can be, this blog RA project thing was both a joy and a torture. I think the subject matter was good and important to know and such. Reader's advisory is a vital part of our service to the public and we should keep ourselves (and each other) as informed as possible. So all along the way I'm thinking, 'yes this is good, i should know this stuff' and I was happy about that. But of course, considering that I'm finishing this up on the last day possible, there is some disconnect between my theoretically being ready and willing to go and my actually doing stuff. I think the episodic nature of the blog posts and the potential for sharing between colleagues were both great. But I wish that these blogs had been created in a way to make them visible only to BCPL, and not to the internet at large. I made a decision a long time ago that I wouldn't have a blog for my own privacy but this assignment obligated me to have one anyway. In any case, I did learn from the assignments and I appreciate all the work that went into making this training engaging.

Operation Book Trailer, Part Du
Book Trailers exist, sadly. I've come across them a lot in romance and I didn't usually watch them. I always considered them lame and less than awesome. And I still think that most of them are, but some of the ones I found on Youtube (the ones that have won Mobys) are fairly decent. I can't really envision a way to use them for reader's advisory at the library without feeling ridiculous. 'Excuse me, but there's this great trailer for this book that you should watch, so let's stand here for 2minutes watching it together.' Weird.
But I think for heavy internet users who are looking for cool new books on their own, these videos could be a cool discovery tool. Maybe that's why teens use book trailers more than other groups for their own browsing.

Teen Imprints:
Harlequin Teen
Paranormal is still going strong in this genre (as it is with adult fic as well). Not just limited to vampires and zombies any more, there are also monsters, ghosts, magical beings, werecreatures of different species, etc. Some are more fantasy and some are more scifi, and there are still some historical/steampunk books. Other trends are books similar to Gossip Girls or Pretty Little Liars with a contemporary clique-ish sort of feel. Also, there's a vein of what you might call street romance or urban romance coming through as well, where teens with issues and tough lives are drawn together.
Tor Teen (Starscape)
This is a more general imprint than Harlequin Teen, with a range of books for different ages. There's a lot of humorous novels for younger kids, and plenty of dystopian scifi/fantasy novels for older teens. Tor also publishes more serious realistic fiction for teens, as well as a few more straightforward adventure series. Popular backlist titles are also prevalent, especially if there is a movie release in the offing (Ender's Game).

Teen Blogs!
Shannon Hale's Squeetus
Right now Hale's is running a chapter-by-chapter book club for one of her earlier books, The Goose Girl. Each day Hale goes through the chapter and gives extra details about the characters, the setting, different plot points, and generally lays open her thoughts about as much of the book as possible. This is great value-added material for fans, with the kind of details that get readers excited about the book and about the blog. Hale's tone is not geared towards a younger audience--when she has opinions about sensitive or complex subjects she doesn't hesitate to mention them. This is probably because she doesn't just write for teens, but also for adults. (Btw, a lot of her adult fic stuff is great crossover teen reading.) But neither does she use a lot of foul language or slang that might make certain people feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. From at least the posts this past week, and from the clear consistent voice that comes through in her prose, Hale must be running (or at least writing) this website herself. Who else would know so much about The Goose Girl?
Forever Young Adult
Now this is a website geared towards a New Adult audience. In their About Us section, they describe themselves as "A site for YA readers who are a little less Y and a bit more A." Slang and informal language abound; they even have a page (Lexicon) just for the site-specific acronyms and terminology. It seems that it is more for women than men (notice the pretty pink backsplash). This is not bad, don't get me wrong. This is actually awesome. Just awesome in a different way from Hale's Squeetus. They cover books mostly, but also movies and tv shows (most of which came from books). Plenty there to look at, and it seems really funny.

Articles! PW's "New Adult" and YALSA's "The Next Big Thing"
I love that YA has started to come into its own this past decade or so! There seems to be so much more variety and selection than I remember from when I was a teen, and I feel that YA's reputation as a lesser form of literature is definitely improving. It's great that Adult fiction authors are more and more writing in YA and even Children's fic. Not only do the authors get to cultivate young readers for life, but those readers who move from Children's to YA to Adult with the same author may be more likely to make a successful transition into Adult fic more broadly, which is great for authors, publishers and libraries. I think the label "New Adult" is a useful one for marketing and for descriptive purposes, but I don't think we need to create a new section in libraries that is strictly New Adult, since it is really just a transition slide between YA and Adult and (as one of the articles mentioned) that transition is very fluid. To me, the profile of YA as a section is finally starting to mirror all the characteristics of Adult fic, just maybe with younger characters and less explicit sex and language. There are scifi, fantasy, romances, mysteries, thrillers, urban fic, literary fic, and everything in between, often all bunched together in a single book. Adults reading YA and YA reading Adult--everyone is reading more, and how can that be bad?

Operation Genres, Part San
Subgenre 1: Contemporary Western/Neo-Western
Okay, I found a few western fiction websites, Western Writers of America and Western Authors that seemed pretty good. Both were anxious to assert that westerns were still relevant to today's readers, and contemporary westerns are considered one of the bridges between more traditional westerns and today's popular culture (western romance and steampunk westerns being other examples). Although there is a feeling of nostalgia for these traditional westerns, most of the excitement and buzz centers around newer interpretations of the western, as in the subgenres mentioned above. I had known about Western Writers of America, since they host the list for the Spur Awards, but a simple Google search found me the second site.
I think of this genre as the post-post-modern western, where traditional themes and genre conventions are torn up and turned inside out, creating a much more uncertain, usually bleaker and harsher landscape. Often more violent, with no clear good or bad guys, these contemporary westerns make you question the characters and yourself, which is one of the things that makes these books so compelling.
Authors: Cormac McCarthy, Annie Proulx, James Carlos Blake
Genrebenders: Stephen King's Dark Tower series blends a lot of old-western themes and tropes with the fantasy of parallel universes and crazy technology. And Trigun, the manga series, is totally a spacey, kooky, occasionally apocalyptic, dark alien western fest (NB: although Cowboy Bebop is my favorite, it started out as a TV series, not manga).
Subgenre 2: Christian Urban Fiction
Website: http://christianfiction.blogspot.com/ and a few articles found with a Google search. Urban Christian Fiction seems to be a fairly straightforward blend of Urban Fiction and Christian Fiction. Characters still have tough lives and even tougher choices in these predominantly African American novels that have a gritty street life setting, but religious and biblical themes play an overt role in the characters' motivations and actions. Fans are excited about this relatively new genre and proactively search out new authors. Small presses and self-publishing are big in this growing genre.
Authors: E.N. Joy, Vanessa Davis Griggs, Vanessa Miller
Genrebenders: In such a new genre it can be difficult to find blends with other genres, but there at least seems to be a spectrum of books within the genre, with some based more on church life and some more on the violence of street life. There are also a subcategory of books that take traditional biblical stories and place them in an urban setting.
Subgenre 3: Inspriational Romance
This is probably the only corner of romance that I haven't managed to read anything in, so I thought it might be fun to cover it here. http://www.inspirationalromancewriters.com/index.cfm There seems to be a bunch of different flavors of Inspirational romance, including Amish, historical, and (surprise) Scifi. Just like with the Christian Urban Fic, it's the thread of faith-based motives and plot devices that infuse these works and differentiate them from other genre fiction. This genre has gained a lot of traction in recent years, and fans are enjoying the growing number of titles. As with many other romance subgenres, series play a significant role. Btw, just because a book is considered a part of this genre doesn't mean that it doesn't contain controversial themes or racy sex scenes.
Authors: Wanda E Brunstetter, Janette Oke, Olivia Newport
Genrebenders: A lot of books contain religious themes, but here are a few titles that are a little different. The Departed by Kathryn Mackel is a sort of scifi spiritual thriller. Also Winter is Past by Rutn Axtell Morren, which is a historical that deals with multiple faiths and some political intrigue.

Genre Link of Note: Stop, You're Killing Me!
It's amazing how many different ways you can slice something, right? These mysteries are indexed on this site a bazillion different ways, presumably so that you can find precisely what you are looking for, although there is no cross-indexing or tagging system that might make it easier to find a book that is both a cozy mystery and set in Jamaica. You can search by location, by job of the main character, by time period, by diversity, by sub-genre, by authr name, by character name, etc...many many. This is definitely a site for the listmakers out there. I only wish that this were a little more like All About Romance with reviews for each book listed, although that takes a lot of maintenance.
As usual with these popular genres, like sci-fi and romance, mystery is based largely on book series it seems. I was surprised few subgenres were listed, considering all the genre bending that goes on nowadays. I'd probably reference this site for good read alikes and for complete series list order, but I'd use a more powerful database like Novelist or even Goodreads for title/author discovery.

Anticipated Title: A Light in the Ruins by Chris Bohjalian
Part thriller, part interpersonal drama, this novel is deeply rooted in the historical context of post-WWII Italy. Interspersed with detailed descriptions of a devastated Italy, Bohjalian weaves a complex story of love, hatred, grief, and guilt that is as emotionally wrenching as it is historically accurate.
Read alikes:
The Sandcastle Girls by Bohjalian--Another sweeping story that has wonderful historical details and emotional resonance.
Little Bird of Heaven by Joyce Carol Oates--Historical fiction that blends thriller elements (murder) with complex characters who have intense emotional connections with one another.
In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson--For those who want another story about people (and their relationships) on the wrong side of WWII, and it's true! Also includes a doomed love story with a German officer.

Operation Resources, Part Deux
So, Early Word is a linkfest. Links here, links there, links everywhere. It's nice to visit a site that is so specifically geared to connecting librarians to new works. Of course, this isn't the only site like this, and I imagine with the heavy established publisher influence that new trends in self-publishing will not be represented here. But there are other places to go for self-pubbed stuff. Probably the most useful thing about this site for me is that most of the info deals with advanced peeks into books that are not yet published. Generally, I go through the New books that come into the branch and that's how I discover new and interesting titles. But why wait? Also, it's nice to have the newest book buzz. This will probably become my go to site for book lists since there are so many links listed.

Operation Resources, Part Uno
So, things I learned from the Daily Beast Book section. Hrm. Well, books nowadays can be extremely specific. Just like this traffic sign.
It's not enough to have a book about hairy elephants, it has to be about hairy elephants who only live in one teeny area of Sri Lanka and how they were adversely affected by the Tamil rebellion in 2009. Specific like that.
Also, it seems that any book can be interesting if the review is well written enough. DB has bunches of intriguing, descriptive reviews of books that I would never in a million years choose to read, and yet I at least contemplated reading them after DB. The site looks pretty cutting edge too, which helps.
More concretely, everything is all 'summer summer summer', so I've been building up a bit of a list for my vacation late in August. DB helped out a bit in that regard, especially for titles outside my normal beach fare.
Operation Goodreads
I posted this recommendation to Sharon P's Goodreads profile:
"You could read it! You might like it! It's a political thriller for a fast summer read. It's my gift to you based on the John Grisham and Michael Palmer in your books list. Beach time!"
I've been a member of Goodreads for a while now, but my book list is not terribly up to date and by no means is it comprehensive. I like that pretty much every title I am looking for is easy to find with the search feature. Reviews and ratings are easy to manage, even though I use them mostly so I remember what to re-read and what not to. Very slick experience, and advanced features are there for those who want it. I do like it better than LibraryThing, though. Debrief over.

Mission Objective 1: Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis
- Customer likes to read popular materials, especially Oprah Book Club picks. TToH is very popular and is an Oprah pick.
- Customer liked books with interesting, brave female protagonists.
- Customer looking for book club picks, and there is a lot of meat in this story a book club could discuss.
- Customer doesn't want slow paced--The Strain is fast paced and plot driven.
- Customer wants vampires without the smoochy teen love drama. This story is more in the horror tradition, and no one reading it will be thinking about kissing these vampires.
- In a similar vein, Glen Duncan's The Last Werewolf might also be a good fit for this customer if they don't mind that main creature is a werewolf and not a vampire.
- This convo requires more refining before I would feel comfortable offering a single title. Follow up questions are a must. Instead, there are a lot of threads you can pull for this customer.
- Survivalist Fiction or Nonfiction--the book the customer references is about a journey into uncharted territory under bad conditions, so he may enjoy more books with this sort of danger. A good pick might be Marco Polo by Lauren Bergreen, which is exciting and details the true adventures of a famous world traveler. C.S. Forester's The African Queen could also be a good fit.
- True Crime or Thriller--the book mentioned has a murder, and is fast paced.
- Famous People doing exciting/unusual things--Teddy Roosevelt is a character.

Operation Appeal Factors
Okay, first up is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Not a recent book, but an excellent one. Cline's madcap adventure story is half video game and half coming of age novel. It's lightning-fast paced, and yet the story's main character (Wade) is fully fleshed out. Although this story is set largely in the future, the quest that Wade and his friends must complete is replete with detailed trivia from the early days of computers and video games. Geeky nostalgia abounds in this effervescent and fun story that has lots of heart. The casual language and teen characters make this a great pick for teens as well.
The second is Care of Wooden Floors by Will Wiles. Half psychological drama and half screwball comedy, Wiles prose creates a gradually growing tension that is both humorous and nerve-racking. The story, told in the first person, focuses largely on the inner feelings/monologue of the main (unnamed) character, and not on external details about setting. Since the main character is British, dry humor and English idioms are a steadily present throughout the text. Definintely an oddball read that I loved. P.S. I posted some recs on Lisa D's blog (Become Familiar with Cannibalism).

Decision Accomplished
Using an extremely scientific yet secret method, I have decided to commit my time and hard-earned attention to The Daily Beast (with maybe the occasional peek over at NPR Books) and the adorably-named Stop, You're Killing Me! mystery site. Links are to the right, so maybe I'll actually visit them.
Okay, perhaps I can share a little of the secret method. I've heard bunches about DB but my general inertia has kept me from visiting regularly, and even then it was mostly the home page (not the concentrated dose of goodness that's on the Books page). So, no brainer. As for the other, mystery is not one of my most well-liked genres although it is a favorite of a lot of our customers, and therefore naturally provides the most learning bang for my buck. (Pow!) Also, mystery puns are sillier and usually more work-appropriate than most urban fiction puns (which was choice #2). RT Book Review was completely out, since I shamelessly and ravenously consume each print issue we get in the branch the moment it arrives. Not much learning potential there. *smirk*
