Week 5

Assignment 1:

My Favorite site is Goodreads, I got to know to navigate it pretty good and is helpful on many levels:
personally being able to have a log of the books I read .
helping customers , keeping up to date with what my friends are reading.

Assignment 2 :

"Popular" as genre at CA I would say Mystery and Fiction.
NPR talk are, also, popular with our customers and very often a source of information.

A good number of our regular customers are just asking for the Best sellers list.

Early Word it is a site I look from time to time, and I am still discovering its potential.
I do use the Awards section as well the Top club picks, Book club selections, Book of the month and Books to Movies.

Most of the customers I do recommend and talk about books, definitely prefer to read the book before the movie, but we also do get a big "help" when a new movie comes out with customers, which otherwise will not pick up that book.
