Floundering at the desk when asked for reading suggestions? Get "go-to" lists of the latest and best books/authors/trends for popular fiction and genre fiction for readers. Readers advisory experts will showcase hot topics in classic genres (romance, horror, science fiction/fantasy, short stories, popular fiction) with a focus on diverse and emerging authors. Attendees will get a crash course in appeals, trends, benchmarks and up-and-coming authors, and the top five in each category.
