Week 9: Assignment 3--BMB Summary

Week 9: Assignment 3--BMB Summary

BMB has been an enlightening experience for me. I truly never realized the plethora of RA information that's out there, just waiting to be used. Actually using sites like Goodreads, EarlyWord and some genre sites on a regular basis should expand my RA skills and knowledge. I felt the flowchart was  a good tool, too. It helped put the relationship of genres/subgenres in better perspective.

I enjoyed the whole YA/New Adult section and familiarizing myself with the teen imprint websites.
From new releases, book reviews and author interviews to book trailers and discussion groups there's so much information out there for this age group it's almost overwhelming. I also found it interesting to see the amount of promotion for items that are available through apps, etc.

The nonfiction presentation was very well honed. It was informative without being overwhelming (thank you!!). I enjoyed thinking about titles that I could recommend as crossovers to some of my PI customers. The reminder that displays can carry a variety of media/genres on a particular subject was a good one.

I wish to extend my thanks to the BMB team. I can't imagine how many hours it took to create this exercise--it was so well thought out and presented in such  professional manner. My biggest regret is not having enough time to really absorb everything you've made available to us. I promise to make an effort to keep coming back to explore the sites you've made known to us!
