Conversation 1:
Since this customer requested an
idea for her book club, I mentioned the BCPL book club kits that boast popular
titles (i.e. her comment “everyone was reading it”) and also comes with a handy
discussion guide which would be helpful since the customer would be hosting the
next selection. From the list of
possibilities I would recommend The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: a novel [kit] : book club kit / Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows. This also features a strong female character
and journeys to another part of the world for its setting.
Conversation 2:
So many vampire books are written for teens
and will tend to revolve around their relationships and love interests. To find a better fit for this customer I
would fall back on my favorite series written by Anne Rice which begins with An Interview with a Vampire. The in depth description of life as a vampire
is the primary focus of the stories, and the captivating and beautiful manner
in which they are written are certain to please this customer.
Conversation 3:
The customer enjoyed a real-life survival
story and is interested in a similar type of story. I would not hesitate to recommend The Endurance: Shackleton’s legendary Antarctic Expedition
by Caroline Alexander. The added bonus
to recommending this title is that BCPL also owns a DVD of the same title as
well as additional nonfiction materials on different aspects of this amazing
adventure.
