How does a book rec meme work?

5 EASY STEPS TO REC SUCCESS:

1. Find the genre/type of book you're looking for in the comments! The following genre/types are listed in alphabetical order:
   
   Chick Lit
   Children's and Young Adult Lit
   Classics
   Contemporary Literature
   Fantasy
   Historical Fiction
   Horror
   Manga, Comics, and Graphic Novels
   Mystery/Detective/Crime
   Non-Fiction
   Romance
   Science Fiction
   Thrillers
   and "Other" (For any genre or type not already listed.)
   
   
2. Click 'reply to this' on the comment with the genre you're looking for. If you're recommending a book, type "RECCING" in the Subject line of your comment. If you're requesting a recommendation, type "REQUESTING".
   
3. Either copy, paste, and fill out the handy forms provided, or describe in your own words the book you're recommending or looking to read.
   
4. Browse the other recommendations that have already been left. Read the rec requests other participants have left, and make suggestions for books you think they might like.
   
5. Share the love! ♥ Copy and paste the following code into your journal to send your friends to the meme:
   
   <a href="http://apple-pathways.livejournal.com/76281.html"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/apple_pathways/pic/000akqeh"></a>
   
   

It's that easy! ;)

Just remember:

* Keep it civil, or suffer the consequences! (Consequences TBD, but may include deletion, bannination, or unsightly rash.)
* DO NOT "Post a new comment"! To keep things tidy, please post all comments as a reply to an existing comment. Misplaced comments will be removed: it doesn't mean you're a bad person. :P
* If you need to ask me something or get my attention, either PM me or post a reply under the "Questions" thread, otherwise I may not see it.

Happy Reading! ♥

Name: Jessica
But you can call me: Jess
My favorite genres: Science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, contemporary lit, poetry, YA
Classic or contemporary?: I like both, but I'm waaay behind on my classics. *hangs head in nerd shame*
Non-fiction?: Yes! Historical reference (particularly Victorian England), science-y stuff, biographies or memoirs of interesting people, anything to do with travel/foreign countries...
The five books I own I'd save from a fire: Oh god, I couldn't pick. I'd end up burning with them because I'd be standing in front of my bookshelves going, "I can't, I can't decide..."
My favorite character(s) from a book: Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn, Harry Potter, Crowley, Jane Eyre, and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head...
Wherein I wax poetic about my love for books: I cried after the first day of kindergarten was over because I hadn't learned how to read yet.
