After an online training on #ReadersAdvisory for Millennials and Generation Z, I made a mega list on Libby called “Romantasy” and ended up needing arthritis cream on my wrist today with all the mouse work. Overdrive findability is tough. Metadata is scant. Neither author nor genre searches recovered most of these. It’s almost like they want to bury your old content licences. #Romantasy#LibbyApp#librarian#bookstodon#ebooks#curation @bookstodon @librarians
#WhatchaReading ? I read Untamed by E.M. Moore because Cate C. Wells recommended it and... well, it's an absorbing and pretty hot story if you like the rejected mate trope, but the world building is absent and/or ridiculous, and the author relied too much on a thesaurus, I think. Might read the second book, might not. Perhaps just to see if maybe we ever find out if shifters are known to the outside world or hidden.
I’m listening to “Iron Flame” - my book group decided to do The Empyrean and I’m not hating it (although the slangy tone of the dialogue is a weird note in the world building). After I finished my Clavell re-read, I’m now reading Serena Bell’s “So Close”, the first in her Tierney Bay series, since one of my libraries added that on #libbyApp and I am a Bell completist. @romancelandia@willaful@romancebooks
