Assignment 1: Jay McInerny is really attractive...in a James T. Kirk kind of way.
Assignment 2: I'm not sure that book trailers make much of a difference in book sales or in readers' advisory. Like the article says, a lot of them are really bad. I watched one for Beautiful Creatures that was so awful I can't believe anyone read the book because of it. Instead I think they read the book in spite of it.
That said, I have watched some pretty awesome book trailers for teen books. And they definitely made me want to read the book. Or watch the movie. Which may take a little longer, but based on the Hunger Games effect, is only a matter of time.
Assignment 3: The Wrap-up
Be More Bookish was the most useful training that I've done in awhile. Yes, I'm at an advantage working at Pikesville where I use these skills everyday. But I definitely learned about some resources that I might not otherwise have discovered...Stacked in particular. I'll continue to check my links everyday to keep on top of our insatiable readers. Bravo for a training well done!
