Week 2 Assignment 3 Done
First recommendation:
I posted the following recommendation on someone's blog and now I can't remember who is was. I did it last week.
I suggested Philippa Gregory to someone who read Persuasion by Jane Austen but I did not jot down their name and I can't find who it is. I used the following appeal factors: historical, character driven and English history.
Second recommendation:
I posted the following on Elizabeth Stack's blog.
Based on your interest in reading The Jefferson Key by Steve Berry, a fast paced, historical suspense, I would suggest that you try reading Charles Brokaw's novels. Charles Brokaw's books include conspiracy theories that involve solving an historical secret.

Week 2 Assignment 2 Done
Week 2 Assignment 2
Crown
by Nancy Bilyeau
This is a historical fiction, set in Henry VIII time. There is a strong female character, a novitiate, who has the job of finding the golden crown in order to save her father. It includes suspense and a surprise ending.
This is not what I usually read, but I must say that the book on CD was very well done, so if you want to listen to this I would recommend the CD.
Snapper
by Brian Kimberling
This is a first person narrative. You may enjoy this witty story about a 30 something man who takes a job as an ornithologist even though he does not have much experience in the field. His explorations in this new field of work are enhanced by his pursuit of a woman. This is lighhearted and humorous.

Week 2 Assignment 1 DONE
Appeal Factors by Neal Wyatt:
Having had the opportunity to attend other genre trainings, most of the information he provided was already familiar to me. However, I have printed his article so that I can refer to it in the future. The information is nicely presented.
He presented a new twist on viewing appeal factors: Adrenaline, Intellect, Emotion, and Landscape.
Wyatt has some very useful exercises and articles to read. BCPL could use his ideas and exercises to create a short course in Readers Advisory. He already has it very nicely presented. Just a thought. :)
