Someone who I can understand their situation and how they got there, and have sympathy. Or if I won’t find out all of that until later, there’s got to be something about her I “get” and I can relate to. What leaves me cold in a heroine is someone who acts irrationally for no reason except plot convenience, or is overly dramatic/weak/passive.

In our library last year we created a “Bookstagram” bulletin board for students to take a picture with their book and give a reason why they liked it. Pictures were printed and put onto the bulletin board. I was excited to see even my students who were not avid readers want to read a book to get their photo on the wall.

Overall, genres create expectations, hopes and promises bringing pleasures if these hopes and promises are fulfilled. The idea of audience foreknowledge will lead to a certain set of expectations. Since film industry is made because of the audience and for the audience, so to catch the trends and audience’s attention, is this the reason why genres change over time?

We are just seeing a lot more blurring of the genre lines as new stories are written now, so I guess we are all about to be searching our bookstores longer than before (not that that’s bad). What are your thoughts on the classifications they use to group books? Are they effective? Are there holes? What’s the worst miss-grouping you’ve seen?

Let’s start the new year talking about writing.
I can’t tell you the number of conversations I’ve had that start with this: “I’ve got a great idea for a book…”
And then we head into ten minutes of ‘and then K jumps into a lake, but then S has a breakdown, and J thinks he’s got fleas, and then the planet is overrun by rabid titmice, and the president decides to give it all up and go fishing…’ and I have no idea what the book is about, and the person with the great idea has even confused themselves.
