The Northeastern Readers' Advisory Round Table's Adrenaline Fiction Arc: Thrillers--Spies

Benchmark: Everyone Reads Daniel SIlva's The Kill Artist

This is the 2nd of a three-meeting arc covering Adrenaline Fiction. In January 2016 we talked about the Lone Wolves of Suspense, and in May 2016 we will discuss Psychological Suspense. The list of books and the notes on what we learned in our discussions can be found on our blog.

Please read a 2nd title in the Adrenaline Fiction Arc: Thrillers: Spies -look on the RA RT blog: for a list of suggested titles and some supporting materials.

Appeal to be read for March meeting: Focus on all the appeal factors, but really think about pace, character, and tone.

Meeting every other month, the NE RA RT reads from one genre--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 particulars. They cover a different genre 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 capicity as readers' advisors.  The discussion leaders are Leane Ellis (ellis@noblenet.org) and Nanci Milone Hill (nhill@mvlc.org).
