Week 1 - Assignment 4: Book Resources

For my two review sites, I'm going with NPR and Tor.com.


I've loved NPR for years, and though some find them to be a bit to egalitarian, I find their reviews to be one of the more unbiased and neutral resources that don't seem to have any sort of agenda.

Plus who doesn't love Diane Rehm!

As for tor.com, I am an avid fantasy reader (sorry, high fantasy only!), so any decent resource I can find with release dates, I'm in!

Week 1: Assignment 3

Reader's Advisory is always a fun thing to do (some would say the best part of the job), and I can say, honestly, that my years working in a retail book environment have prepared me very well for it! It's not always about the "sale," but about the return.

New Salvatore!

Maestro comes out this month! Hopefully a bit better than his last few titles (Salvatore is still one of my favorites, though!).

The power of urban architecture.

Maybe the pic is a bit unclear, but apparently the presence of a set of gates in a background makes for an urban fantasy title? Who knew!?!

So you can tell some books by their covers...
