SUMMARY:VIRTUAL NE READERS' ADVISORY ROUNDTABLE
DESCRIPTION:The Northeastern Readers' Advisory Round Table studies an 
 HISTORICAL FICTION ARC: ARC#1--Medieval\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\nOur 
 current topic\, Medieval Historical Fiction\n\nFor the Medieval Historical 
 benchmark\, everyone reads Lauren Groff's Matrix (2021).  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 Medieval 
 Historical Choice Title from the list provided\, or one you choose yourself 
 and provide at least one to three Readalikes for that Medieval Historical 
 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\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).
