W5A2 - EarlyWord.com - So I have a different impression of earlyword.com now.  When I originally went to the website, it looked way to visually overwhelming and the layout of the webpage is pretty... well, lame looking, so I didn't choose it for a daily review.  However, I visited again and took the time to leaf through the info and found some pretty good stuff, including upcoming movies based on books.  So I grabbed a few books for movies that are coming out next year - well ahead of the reserve rush:).  I'm seeing that Early Word will be a good site for hot-off-the-press information about books, authors, upcoming films, book awards, etc.  I'm still disturbed about the appearance of the site (yes, you'll keep hearing this from me lol), but I'm slowly getting over it as the great info reveals itself.
As far as what's popular in our branch, most adults come in with the titles that they are looking for, but they're not usually new books (at least the ones I get).  I have used the New York Times Bestseller List several times for those customers who are looking for the newest popular book, or Novelist for a quick read-alike list that I can print out for customers.  They've seemed to really like that feature.
