One of the new events launched at this month's New Voices New Rooms conference was "Genre Buzz" - a somewhat unique approach to title discovery in that Genre Buzz was a series of bookseller-led discussions about their favorite genres -- what they loved about them, how they sold them, the books they were looking forward to and the books that got them hooked. It they hadn't been scheduled in the middle of the exhibit hall we might have called them "retreats," (and can we just say, sixteen different tables filled with booksellers eagerly talking about their favorite romance/horror/fantasy/thriller books is something to be seen).

NVNR created Edelweiss collections and printable flyers for each Genre Buzz topic, and while they can't equal the enthusiasm of a table full of genre-loving booksellers, they do all make for some great displays and book club reading lists.

Links to all the edelweiss collections are below. Go here to download the printable lists.
