Week 8: Assignments 1-3

Assignment 1
I have read the following articles:
  • Borderlands: Crossing between Nonfiction in Readers’ Advisory
  • Reading Nonfiction for Pleasure: What Motivates Readers?

  • When I'm helping a customer find a good read, and they say they are looking for a good fiction, I will sometimes ask them if they'd be interested in reading a non-fiction.  If they are open to it, I will often recommend a non-fiction that reads like a fiction book. These are the ones I am mainly familiar with.

    Assignment 2
    I have watched the Readers' Advisory with Non-Fiction video. The information in the video seems like a repeat of information I received in a Genre Bootcamp.
