What Appeals to You?

One of the newest and most exciting features of NoveList Plus is the appeal mixer. Often readers enjoy books with a certain mood, feel, tone, or pacing. Now NoveList Plus allows you to create a customized list of book recommendations based on your chosen combination of appeal factors.

Create Your Own Reading List

The Appeal Mixer is a fun way to create a potential reading list for yourself, for your children or other members of your family, or even for your neighborhood book club. To use the Appeal Mixer, visit the Reader's Corner pages for Teens or Adults on www.forsythpl.org and click on  NoveList Plus. You can also find links to NoveList K-8 Plus on the Reader’s Corner  pages for Elementary and Preschool.

Once you're in NoveList Plus, look for the “Browse By” drop down menu and choose “Appeal." Now you can choose up to three categories, including character, illustration, pace, storyline, tone, and writing style. Next, choose from a drop down list of appeal factors for each of your three categories and NoveList Plus will return a list of titles matching the criteria you selected. If you want to narrow the list, click on “view all” and you can further filter your results from the left side of the page.
