I’ve started making readers’ advisory graphics for the library again now that we’re trying to get back into a routine after the move. We’ve also done some rebranding, and I’m going to start making graphics for children and adult titles, in addition to the teen ones I’ve been doing. I’ve also made an easy to use template, so if other staff from youth services or readers’ services wants to make them, it’s easy and they’ll all be consistent.
I’ve been on a bit of a short story kick, so my first one was read-alikes for popular short stories collections.
If you liked Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell, the offbeat and whimsical I am the Executioner: Love Stories by Ralesh Parameswaran might be a hit with you. It’s absurdly delightful, but still has literary flair.
