When I worked at the library I could recommend books that I would never read just by using this system. <br /><br />I'd listen to them and think "oh, a Vicki person" and know what to suggest they read. One guy would come in and ask "what's Joanne's husband got checked out?" He knew I selected for G. And they would request the same for him. He was always happy.<br /><br />I foot dragged for over a year before reading "Cutting for Stone" and loved it. Still won't pick up Bee Season or The Help. The books I like a darker. Hardly any happy endings.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19129786.post-3802080112787337652011-10-29T11:18:26.147+01:002011-10-29T11:18:26.147+01:00Credit goes to you, Helen, for being open to new s...Credit goes to you, Helen, for being open to new stories. Often, in the library, people ask for recommendations but, when offered, they are frequently too locked in to what they know and refuse to try something unknown. It's a low-risk option - if they don't like the books, they can just return them. No money involved!Erica Spinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203668357399019127noreply@blogger.com
