- For the adult books, I got 16/24 in about 3 minutes. I missed: The Prophet, A Million Little Pieces, She's Come Undone, Lord of the Flies, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Eragon, Freakanomics (D'oh!), and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I take issue with the last one, since I tried "Chronicles of Narnia" and was rejected.
- For the children's books, I knew 10/20 in about 3 minutes, and only that because I'm doing the reader's advisory training checklist right now. I needed help on Eric Carle's Very Hungry Caterpillar, because I knew it as the "hungry little caterpillar". I also knew Are you my mother?, but tried it as "are you my mommy". Sporcle didn't like that. I missed James and the Giant Peach (on my to-read list for RA training), Stuart Little, Cricket in Times Square, Corduroy (I was thinking Paddington Bear, for some reason), Bridge to Terabithia, The Snowy Day, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and The Napping House. Guess How Much I Love You is a great book, although all I could remember was that the characters were the big nut brown hare and the little nut brown hare.
Assignment 2
- I could determine most of them at a glance, but I need a refresher on High Fantasy and Urban Fantasy.
- I'm going to follow NPR Books because I rarely hear a formal book review on the air, but I love listening to their author interviews. I'm interested in seeing how the web reviews match up with their on-air programming.
- Picking a Genre link is kind of hard. I'm interested in all of them! I'm going to pick Fiction Affliction on Tor.com, because I'm not really familiar with new sci-fi and fantasy titles, and the site looks sleek and has good content. I am interested in following any of the urban and romance sites, and may do that, but I just don't feel comfortable browsing those covers at work. Who knows what my coworkers would think?!
- I think someone should write these books. I would read them!
