Update and Writing Prompt #6

Sorry its been a while.  I have been busy. I ended up losing my job the day after Thanksgiving. I have been looking for a job but its the holidays and no one is hiring. I have been through multiple depression episodes but I am currently doing alright.

Without further ado....Let's get back into the swing of things.

What kinds of books do you enjoy reading? Write a letter to the librarian asking him or her to get more of the types of books you love for the library. (Since I am no longer in school, I used the director of my local library.)

Dear Dr. Morley of Atlanta-Fulton Public Library, 

I really enjoy coming to the library to check out books and to study in general. The kinds of books I like most are Mystery-Thriller.  While you have an adult section, it is quite small. I would love to see more of that genre. Dan Brown just came out with a new book. There are a few more authors I would love to see also. I have attached a short list.

Thank you, 

Melody

I would love to elaborate more on this one. I have many favorite authors and genres but most books can now be digitally downloaded into an e-reader. The library is best used as a study hall rather than anything else. Also small children may enjoy the library because it has a large childrens section. Even then, so many kids are in the digital age these days. Very few pick up a physical book. I think that my generation of people that were raised in the 90s are the last generation to really love physical books like Novels. These days the only books I have seen gifted to people are about a specific topic, like wine or a hobby-specific topic like knitting or stones. The vast majority of people can get any information they want from the internet.
