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! ♥

Did you know there's a new bordertown anthology out? Bordertown was one of the first modern urban fantasy worlds-it has a different feel than some of the other newer urban fantasy worlds, and is a shared universe among many different authors (Emma Bull's Finder is still there). All the stories take place in a city situated between the elfin and human worlds, and tend to attact outcasts from both. The new anthology involves one comic by Dylan Mecondis, and stories from Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Cory Doctorow, Neil Gaiman, Catherynne M. Valente, and others.

Other than that-have you ever thought about checking out Fables? It's a graphic novel, but it might appeal to you. Fairy Tale characters have been kicked out their homelands by something called 'the Adversary', and immigrate to a part of New York City called 'Fabletown'. Snow White's divorced Prince Charming, the Big Bad Wolf is reformed (even if nobody seems to trust him), and Boy Blue spends most of his time playing at jazz and blues clubs around the city. Then a murder happens, and well. . .
