So I just noticed that the first prompt is supposed to be published here, and not on the instructor's blog. Naturally, this is me right now:
However, I did publish my response to prompt 1 on the instructor's profile, but just in case, here are my answers!
1. I searched Novelist by “Series” and I used the search term “Anita Blake” and the response is: the book you’ve read last was “Circus of the Damned” and the next and fourth one is “The Lunatic Café”
2. For this one I searched by “Title” and I used the search term “Prodigal Summer” for a title read-alike. Out of the 9 recommended read-alikes that share the same theme and genre, I would recommend the least descriptive since the reader enjoyed the book but not the pace. The answer is: How about your try Next of Kin by Joanna Trollope, o a Rhinestone Button by Gail Anderson-Dargatz? Both share the same themes and lyrical writing style, without the overly descriptive tone.
3. For this one I did an advanced search and I looked for Japan as “subject” and historical fiction as “genre”. I also chose the time period to be 1940s and before. The recommended titles are Memories of a Geisha, The Final Storm, The Pearl Diver, Fire Flowers and the Typist.
4. For this one I did a basic search and I typed the title Well-schooled in murder “title search”. Nine results are generated, some of them are: A possibility for violence, Blind goddess, Still life. All of them share the same genre and are not as violent as John Sandford’s books.
5. For this one I searched by subject (zombies) and type (fiction) and particularly selected apocalyptic fiction as both of the titles that the patron has read are set in an dystopian society. My recommendations include: The girl with all the gifts, Autumn, To sail a darkling sea and Fractured.
