I was following The Daily Beast for this assignment. There are a lot of really interesting articles related to books and publishing, but not a lot that is relevant specfically to my job. I think that I will continue to go to the site periodically, but it isn't professionally an essential read. I like the "This Week's Hot Reads" section which as the title suggests profiles high interest titles that are coming out during that week. Also "The Cheat Sheet" is a nice little current events in the book industry section. Along the footer their are links to other sites like The Millions and NPR Books with links into top articles on those sites.
Week 5: Assignment 2
Usually I read Early World every day. The center content is generally useful and relevant. While the site is a little cluttered there is a lot here that is very useful. The Movies & TV Based on Books sections are really helpful. The Coming Soon section and Consumer Media section are also good I haven't really explored those links before and now I will remember to look at those more frequently.
The publisher's imprint section - and whether their catalog was available online was a new and welcome discovery.
Week 5: Assignment 3
The publishing industry is buzzing about this soon to be released thriller featuring a time traveling serial killer who follows young girls filled with potential waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He is untraceable until one of the girls survives and tries to bring him to justice. The ultimate cat and mouse thriller, face paced, tense, and compelling. Pitched as The Time Traveler's Wife meets The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
