DESCRIPTION
Created to offer a different perspective on women's fiction and to reach a broad reading audience (including fans), Read On?Women's Fiction: Reading Lists for Every Taste offers new reading paths for women's fiction lovers. Rebecca Vnuk categorizes and lists hundreds of popular women's fiction titles, but her scope is more current and more selective than that found other guides, the tone is lighter and more informal, annotations are shorter and livelier. Most important, the organization and approach are based on various appeal factors of the genre, rather than on the formal genres and subgenres adhered to by other guides.
Use these lists to advise readers; to create thematic reading lists for library websites, flyers, and newsletters; and as checklists or reading plans for those who enjoy women's fiction. Buy two copies?one for the reference and readers advisory desk, and one to circulate!
An indispensable book for every readers' advisor offers new reading lists of women's fiction for RA, handouts, websites, or for readers to browse for that next great read.
So, your reader loves women's fiction and is looking for some great new titles? Maybe she has asked for a new Chick Lit novel to read? Or perhaps you're looking for fresh reading lists for handouts or to post on your library's website? Here's your answer.
