FAQ

  • What qualifies an entry as "low effort"
    Any entry that was made not to participate in the event but to be eligible for prizes. Examples are copying the back of the book or simply saying "it's a good book" for your explanation.
  • Do I have to role play?
    Nope! Do what's fun for you.
  • Does my book have to meet every part of the request?
    Nope! A suggestion should fit the genre (or have a really good reason why not) but otherwise the information provided is there to give you options and ideas, not to box you in.
  • Do I need to have read the book I'm recommending?
    Nope! Despite common belief, librarians don't spend their entire day reading so they often recommend books they've never read either.
  • How do I find books to recommend?
    Each patron will include a title & author of a book they like in that genre. If you search that title on your local library's website, it will more than likely list books that are similar to it. Amazon and Goodreads can also be used in this way. Bookriot also has additional ways to find relevant books.
  • Can I recommend more than one book?
    Absolutely! Just please keep all recommendations for the same patron in one comment. This is solely to make it easier on me to track entries.
  • Does the book have to be in English.
    Yes, your main recommendation should in English (translated works are fine). If you want to include an extra non-English recommendation though, please feel free.
  • What are Stellar Recommendations?
    Those are recommendations that are either already favorite books of mine or sound so intriguing I'm adding them to my personal to-read list. If selected, you might find a small gift headed your way.

"It looks like from the sea we're going to head over to dry land as our next patron is requesting a Western. They've previously enjoyed The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson. Unfortunately this is another genre that I don't know much about. Glad I have you to help me out!"

The request reads:
  • The desolate landscape sparsely populated by hardy people is what draws me to this genre. Also, cowboys with their horses. That appeal can't be discounted.

Thursday - Folklore Fantasy

"Our next patron is requesting something that I'm pretty sure isn't even a genre: Folklore Fantasy. I think I know what they're looking for since they previously enjoyed Forests of the Heart by Charles de Lint but I hope they go into more detail in their request."

The request reads:
  • I want to read about creatures from folklore. Give me faeries, unicorns, mermaids, phouka, dragons, vampires, manticores, dryads-okay, you get the point. I'm also interested in fairy tale retellings.

Friday - Historical Fiction

"Our patron today is requesting reads for Historical Fiction and has previously enjoyed The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett.

The request reads:
  • I'm looking for a historical fiction novel that involves real historical figures and has a lot of politics. I'm not fussy about the time period, but nothing modern or futurisic, please. I also adore any book that has lush descriptions of historical interior decorating and clothing, it really helps to sell the setting.
