Week 9 Assignment 3
Summarize your thoughts about this program in a blog post. What have you learned that was helpful?
This program taught me just how much strategy and training goes into recommending a book successfully. Right now I'm a long way from becoming one of the great masters of readers advisory but I can see the road ahead and I am undeterred. I had fun recommending books to friends on goodreads (one of the two friends I messaged even texted me back to thank me for the thoughtful recommendations!) and I enjoyed learning how truly pitiful book trailers are. But I learned something about myself while describing this program to friends. A surprising number of them thought the be more bookish program and genre boot camp sounded miserable. My roommate even asked "But you can just pretend to read those books right?" And I realized that I don't want to make this stuff up. I really do want to become the kind of nerd who posts on Tor.com my list of top 5 fantasy horses.
