Lesson 6 Challenge

NoveList

I chose The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater as my NoveList guinea pig.  Here are the Appeal Factors I selected:

 This was too many factors, because the only book I got back from the search results was The Raven Boys.  So, I unchecked everything under the Subject heading and just went with Compelling Urban fantasy.  This time I got back 486 results.  That seemed like too many to sift through, so I added "schools".  This time I got a reasonable 29 results.

I use NoveList often for Reader's Advisory.  Library customers have such varied reading interests, I find NoveList very helpful when suggesting titles for a book I have never read or a genre that is not interesting to me.
