SUMMARY:Readers' Advisory Roundtable - West\, Dark Academia
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our western Mass Readers' Advisory genre study.  Our 
 genre study this month is Dark Academia.  Our benchmark is Kamilah Cole's 
 An Arcane Inheritance.  Centuries old ivy elite Warren University is build 
 on forbidden magic and secrets.  With a full ride scholarship\, Ellory 
 Morgan wants to prove she belongs\, but gets creepy feelings of deja vu.  
 \n\nWe will discuss the appeal of our benchmark and the audience for it as 
 well as readalikes to suggest to users if they want a similar title or if 
 the book is unavailable.  Each of us will read a second title of our 
 choosing in the genre as our personal choice. (Check NoveList for 
 suggestions.) We exchange ideas\, define the appeals of the genre\, suggest 
 books and other media\, and come away with an awareness of additional 
 titles to offer our users. Join us online to share your choices and hear 
 those of colleagues.  \n\nWe meet bimonthly via Zoom to explore various 
 genres and readers advisory skills and how to use them to meet the needs of 
 our users.  In alternate months\, in our Chat sessions\, we share what we 
 have been reading/watching/listening to and discover new titles\, authors\, 
 and topics to enjoy.\n\nThose who register for sessions will receive an 
 email reminder a week before our meeting.  For questions or suggestions\, 
 contact Alene Moroni (amoroni@forbeslibrary.org) or Jan Resnick 
 (njrezz@comcast.net).\n\nCut and paste this link to join the Zoom
