Week 3 Assignment 2

Listening to Nancy Pearl describe books is like listening to an infomercial (in a good way!). She is concise, uses trigger words to immediately grab your attention if those are the type of books you are interested in, and she is energetic about the books she is recommending. Details about the plot as a whole is minimal which was a shocker for me because I always assumed reader's advisory focused on the actual storyline and not appeal factors. Her book talks are approximately one minute in length which to me is incredible. I am still trying to MEMORIZE the appeal factors so I can give better book talks to not only customers but friends and family.
