Week 9, Assignment 3
In general, I believe that Be More Bookish was a worthwhile staff training. It did "broaden my horizons" by forcing me to become more familiar with a variety of genres, websites, blogs, etc. I especially enjoyed the website GoodReads and the opportunity to find books that I might enjoy reading in the future. Plus, I learned more about types of books that I personally don't read, like Steampunk. I'm now reading a Steampunk novel. There were other categories I simply had not heard about before, like the "New Adult" category for 18-21 year-olds. I believe that this training has improved my readers' advisory skills.
