Author Resources-Something to Bookmark! #11 Completed

I had not heard of the Book Report Network before, and believe that I'll use this frequently when helping patrons. Great biographies of authors, and the Books into Movies is good for letting people know what's coming up/out when.

Faithful Reader seemed misleading to me as I expected it to be a place for Inspirational titles, but most that I looked at were Historical Romances.

I would have to say that for myself, I'd be most likely to use the Reading Group Guides both for book clubs and for booksellers and librarians. I'm just a book club kinda gal.

Looking at the Biography Resource Center, I decided to check out a new writer I'm reading: Dorothea Benton Frank whose novels are set in South Carolina's lowcountry; a place my sister has visited on many vacations. Having grown up along the east coast "shore," I enjoy the descriptions of the beaches and the homes and lives lives along the water. Something that surprised me about this author is that she was "A one-time fashion buyer who traveled the globe in search of haute couture."
