Unfortunately, it's only recently that I've started to
keep track of who requests what. I've also started to
put brief synopses with the fiction titles, but that
doesn't help you, probably. I think I've started to
put genre, which should help; if I haven't, I will,
for new requests--that way you can search for
fantasy, children's, young adult, sci fi, etc. Some
are hard to categorize.
Sometimes I assume certain authors are known for what
they write, e.g., a lot of the children's authors. The
nonfiction titles are pretty self-explanatory.
The list is divided into Fiction and nonfiction, but
that's about it.
You are wonderful for taking books from the Wish List
to scan--probably the best--and anything I can do to
make it easier for you to find what you might like I'd
be happy to do. I'll try to be more consistent in
putting in the genre. If there are particular authors
or genres you're interested in, or particular kinds of
nonfiction (conservative? history? liberal? religion?)
let me know and perhaps I can send you a list offlist.
