SUMMARY:VIRTUAL NE READERS' ADVISORY ROUND TABLE
DESCRIPTION:The Northeastern Readers' Advisory Round Table studies a 
 MYSTERY ARC: ARC#2--American Police Procedurals\n\nPostponed from 
 9/23/25\n\n(Note: All NE M RA RT discussions will be Virtual Zoom meetings 
 sponsored by a member library. Members will receive a link to sign-up via 
 our Google Group\, anyone else who is interested should email Leane at 
 rapotential@gmail.com)\n\n\n\nOur current topic\, American Police 
 Procedurals (9/30/25) continues our four-meeting Mystery Arc which began 
 with Private Detectives in May (5/27/25). We follow in November with 
 British Police Procedurals (11/25/25)\, and then conclude with British 
 Cozies (1/27/26) in January\, 2026.\n\nFor the Mystery American Police 
 Procedural benchmark\, everyone reads Michael Connelly’s The Late Show: 
 Renée Ballard#1/Harry Bosch#19 (2017).   In addition to reading the 
 Benchmark\, come to the discussion with at least one to three 
 authors/titles that you feel are a good Readalike for this novel\, and be 
 prepared to explain why based on Appeal.\n\nAlso\, please choose a Mystery 
 American Police Procedural Choice Title from the list provided\, or one you 
 choose yourself and provide at least one to three Readalikes for that 
 American Police Procedural Mystery Choice title based on the Appeal of the 
 book you read as well as write a brief review on our blog under Submit 
 Choice Titles.\n\n\n\n\n\nSee NE RA RT BLOG for more information and list 
 of Resources.\n\nMeeting every other month\, the NE RA RT reads from one 
 genre or topic--and then discusses the appeal of that genre with each other 
 emphasizing the building of a skill set of appeal categories and 
 familiarity of genre/topic particulars. We cover a different genre/topic 
 every meeting\, allowing each of the participants to be introduced to the 
 discipline of reading for appeal\, as well as an initiation to broad genre 
 categories. Everyone participating will be able to share analysis of titles 
 and authors in unfamiliar genres that will stretch their capacity as 
 readers' advisors.  The discussion leader is Leane Ellis 
 (rapotential@gmail.com).
