It was interesting using Novelist- I found they had book discussion questions so now I know that they may be a good resource for book clubs outside of just recommending books. I looked in magic realist fiction and found "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake," now also on hold for me. I also found "The Fifth Life of the Cat Lady" which we don't have :(. I looked at the teen books and there is an "If you like" link which I thought was fantastic but the adults don't have one (yes, I know Novelist is really a giant "If you like" but I just enjoyed the link). On the plus side, it is making me want to read a little fiction again.
It is a great readers advisory tool! The next time I get a patron who wants to talk about what books to read, I will sit them down with Novelist.
P.S. Using Novelist, I found the third book of the graphic novel series I started reading a while ago, Amulet. And I found the second book of the series, "The Astonishing Life of Ocatvian Nothing"-beautiful, devastating and amusing all at the same time. So happy!
From the last two "Things" my holds list is getting ridiculous.
