NovelistPlus

October 28, 2008 flowerfarmer

Whew! Here’s an assignment I know something about – I use the databases all the time. But NovelistPlus has a new feature that I’m looking at for the first time. Whereas it used to be limited to fiction, it now has nonfiction titles. I looked at the “recommended reads” link on the left and there are interesting categories which are a great starting place for someone looking for something to read, but not having a specific idea. Examples: biography & memoir, arts& entertainment, business writing. I noticed that the fiction categories are also there – mystery, romance, fiction a-z, etc. If your interest is more specific, Novelist can do that too.

I typed in “quilting” and got 122 titles, both fiction and nonfiction. Cool! Now, if I can just find time to READ all these great suggested books… I find that having a job interferes with my hobbies. But then again the grocery store clerk probably wants money instead of a nice book synopsis…

What do you think of the new user interface? I’ve been having trouble making the transition. I don’t use Novelist quite enough to be totally comfortable with it. (Hmmm, maybe that should be my goal for this adventure!)

That’s neat that they’ve added nonfiction books to the database.
