Week 6


Week 6: Assignment 1 


The Daily Beast Book is organized into four categories:  The Stacks;  Hot Reads; Speed Read; and Book Bag.   The manner in which the site is laid out is bright and inviting.  The reviewers are great at writing catchy titles that make you want to read their reviews.  The reviews make you want to read the books. Check out this review of Grunt by Mary Roach.

Week 6: Assignment 2 

This exercise was challenging because navigating the Prezi was cumbersome.

Week 6: Assignment 3 

I am unfamiliar with these subgenres: Military,  Realistic, and Adventures.

Military Romance: Julie Ann Walker; Debby Giusti; and Lynn Austin.

Realistic: Gaynor Arnold; Martin Cruz Smith; and Alan Furst.

Adventures: Clive Cussler; Stephen Coonts; and Jack Higgins.

                                                            Author Clive Cussler


The appeal factors of subgenres is the cross over factor.  A reader of  romance might read a book that involved some adventure or mystery.
