Goals of the Genre Meetings

• Become better acquainted with a variety of book genres.
• Harvest what we've read for RA use when a customer asks us for a book suggestion.

As you are reading:

• If you find that you cannot bear to read the entire book, by all means, put it down and pick up a different one. We want to hear your comparison!
• Think about how your book compares to books from other genres.
• What's the tone, pacing, and frame of your selection?
