Introduction In this month's business speaking skills topic we're going to be looking a various ways of expressing likes, dislikes and preferences. It is very easy to simply say ‘I like' or ‘I don't like' something, but it is more difficult to state by what degree you like or dislike it. And, it's often not just a question of directly stating how you feel about something. In many situations you'll have to be careful about your tone – how direct or indirect your language is. Stating dislikes and preferences too directly can sometimes cause offence. You'll need to consider who you're speaking to and the context of the situation when choosing your words Situation Annie Dawson, a web designer at Booknet.com, an online book company, has been requested by her boss, Philip Telford, to create a website for the company's new line of books. Since the books are educational, as well as entertaining, Philip really wants a visually appealing website which can capture the feeling of the company's new line of books and, therefore, bring success to the new line. You're going to listen to Annie presenting her draft website designs to her boss, Philip, to get his feedback.

Dear Perceptive Readers, this discussion is on my latest book and audio book project! Have you heard of Booknet.com ? Well you will; so let's talk about it in this pocbooks update moment!

I answer the questions from the Back from BNF tag created by Njeri from ONYX Pages.

Here at BookNet, we've had children's titles on the mind since we opened up voting for our new Loan Stars Jr. list in November. The first Loan Stars Jr. list, consisting of Juvenile and Young Adult titles, will be released this March and while we're waiting to see what will make the inaugural list, there's been a lot of reflecting and bonding over memories of the books and library programs that led us to dedicate our lives to making them. It also raised questions about the state of children's publishing in Canada and the role that libraries play. So we decided to take our questions to children's librarian, Scott Robins, the Children's Services Specialist at the Don Mills branch of the Toronto Public Library. (Find the transcript of this episode here: https://www.booknetcanada.ca/blog/2019/2/25/podcast-a-childrens-librarian-on-the-state-of-childrens-publishing-in-canada) Connect with Loan Stars: Loan Stars: https://www.loanstars.ca/ Loan Stars Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/loanstars Loan Stars Twitter: https://twitter.com/LoanStarsCA Loan Stars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loanstarsca/ Loan Stars Tumblr: http://loanstars.tumblr.com/ Loan Stars Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/loanstars/ Loan Stars Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/54831332-loan-stars

We're nearing the end of the year and, like pretty much everyone else, feeling reflective about the past 12 months. And since we're BookNet, that includes how the past year has shaped up in terms of the Canadian book market. So this month we have BookNet president and CEO, Noah Genner, as our guest to chat about the state of the market, the biggest books of the year, the biggest shakeups in the industry, what we can expect for next year, and, of course, lots about Margaret Atwood. Our free webinar on bibliographic standards will be held on Jan. 16 at 1 p.m. ET. Find more info and register here: https://goo.gl/BxvSHv

Laura Brady, ebook developer and principal of Brady Type, joins the BookNet podcast to educate us about the benefits and challenges associated with bringing accessible features to ebooks in Canadian publishing. We talk about ableist privilege, InDesign quirks, and if the future of print and digital in harmony includes coding that old book smell.

Kaya Thomas, creator of the app We Read Too, joins BookNet on the podcast this month. While still in her undergrad at Dartmouth College, Kaya developed We Read Too—a book resource application that showcases a directory of hundreds of children's and young adult fiction books written by and for people of colour—which contains over 600 books and has over 4,000 downloads. Kaya has held software engineering internships at Time Inc and Intuit working on mobile applications. She was a CODE2040 2015 Fellow and is a technical volunteer mentor for Black Girls Code. For her work in education and technology, Kaya was recently honoured by First Lady Michelle Obama at the 2015 Black Girls Rock Awards. She joins us to talk about her favourite books, breaking into coding, and diversifying the publishing industry. techforum.booknetcanada.ca

BookNet Canada conducts regular market research and consumer research, giving you a detailed picture of the Canadian book market and Canadian book buyers.

Concerns about ebooks “killing” publishing are just the latest in a centuries-long tradition of worrying unnecessarily about the end of reading. The rise of ebooks and, not by coincidence, big data, will be good for reading, writing, publishing, and bookselling, or at least for the people who learn to embrace them. Everyone else is right to be worried. Kevin Ashton draws on his experience as a bookseller, author, marketer, and leader of the “Internet of Things,” to provide guidance and reassurance to help you survive the coming Ebookalypse.
