Week 1 Assignment 4

www.locusmag.com
Let me start off by saying I have a strong DISLIKE of Science Fiction/Fantasy books. Granted I was able to get through and some what enjoy Kindred by Octavia Butler to later be told I didn't read a "real" Science Fiction/Fantasy book. Next I was told to read Ender's Game by Oscar Scott Card. That's a lie. I was told I should try the audio book and it was decent. I think my biggest fear comes from being forced to read books with people riding on fire breathing unicorns or anything that is Star Wars or Star Trek. In my eyes...pure punishment. Nonetheless, I am facing my fears and will follow this website. Even going as far as saving it onto my favorite on my iPad.

In my fifteen years with the library, I have heard of this website often, but I have honestly never looked at it nor knew its overall purpose and worth. Needless to say, I opened the page and I felt like I took a step into Reader's Advisory Heaven...maybe Hell because there are currently 12 books waiting on the hold shelf for me and I currently have 100+ on hold. Do I really need any added recommendations? The poor, poor, Circulation staff. I apologize in advance. Did I mention I also signed up for the Newsletter? Yup. They should be very, very fearful.
