Everyone’s favorite guide to fiction that’s thrilling, mysterious, suspenseful, thought-provoking, romantic, and just plain fun is back—and better than ever in this completely revamped and revised edition. A must for every readers’ advisory desk, this resource is also a useful tool for collection development librarians and students in LIS programs. Inside, RA experts Wyatt and Saricks cover genres such as Psychological Suspense, Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, Mystery, Literary and Historical Fiction, and introduce the concepts of Adrenaline and Relationship Fiction; include everything advisors need to get up to speed on a genre, including its appeal characteristics, key authors, sure bets, and trends; demonstrate how genres overlap and connect, plus suggestions for guiding readers among genres; and tie genre fiction to the whole collection, including nonfiction, audiobooks, graphic novels, film and TV, poetry, and games. Both insightful and comprehensive, this matchless guidebook will help librarians become familiar with many different fiction genres, especially those they do not regularly read, and aid library staff in connecting readers to books they’re sure to love.

"Teachers are becoming increasingly concerned that an overreliance on leveling and readability formulas hinders students' choices and potential to be engaged and interested in what they are reading. Fortunately, this user-friendly book shows you how to break away from this approach by using Bookmatch, an instructional tool that empowers students through choice and independence while showing them how to strategically and effectively select "just-right" books. In doing so, you will learn to set up and manage an effective independent reading time in which students truly engage in the practice of reading while building a positive attitude. Bookmatch is a tool that is easily incorporated into your existing curriculum and with learners of varying ability levels, and with Bookmatch, you'll be able to assist in the independent reading progress made by each student and support their comprehension and self-awareness as literacy learners."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.

This handbook offers guidance on readers' advisory services and collection development, two of the most important trends in library service today. Each chapter was contributed by an experienced readers' advisor, and the editor was recipient of the Public Library Association's coveted Allie Beth Martin Award for his work in stimulating public interest in reading and books. Chapters describe how to: -- organize support groups to improve reader's services -- develop special readers' services for youth -- establish book discussion groups -- manage of genre fiction collections -- develop a popular historical fiction collection -- use the fantasy fiction genre to build usage -- refine collections and readers' services to appeal to the male library user. Also included are selective bibliographies of significant titles and information on important authors in each popular fiction genre. Indexes provide access by subject, title, series, and author.
