There are still messages in my mail, including requests for additions to the
wish list, but I must go now and eat and settle in for the finale of
Survivor--one of my guilty pleasures--and I talk with my S.F. daughter in
commercials; we watch together. Aren't phones wonderful?
But I do want to clarify my personal comments and synopses on the list I send
out. What I do is take the Browse New Books and edit that, deleting repetitions
like Language: English and the BRF/Daidy/membership required lines, since that
is all that is on the list. Then I indicate whether the book is fiction or
nonfiction, because someone asked me to, and I have added reading age level
for children and young adult if I can find them. Also, when there is no
synopsis except See Long Synopsis or Christian Mystery or Christian romance or,
as has been the case lately, excerpts from reviews that are evaluative--usually
raves--and not synopses, I try to find a synopsis and add that, and also send
it to Allison so she can replace what shouldn't be there with a short synopsis.
I have also, on a couple of occasions, added my editorial comments, hesitantly.
That's what was on the Milk Case book, because, unlike Ann, although I did
google, I couldn't find one. I guess I didn't check the list that came up far
enough or didn't put in the right things.
I'm really annoyed with Project Details or Publisher's ratings; sometimes the
ar excellent but sometimes I know they are way off--baby to preK for a book I
know is no way for that age group. What are those people thinking? But I do try
to keep my personal comments to a minimum. However, since it is an informal
list, I do, as I say, sometimes add a comment such as a personal recommendation
if I've read the book and really like it.
So rest assured that anything in parentheses or that is on the line next to
Fiction/Nonfiction is not part of what is in the collection--though I think
age-range information would be useful to parents, and the category of juvenile
literature between children and young adult also would be useful.
