I've mentioned before that you can use ideas from the emails publishers and other vendors send you to create your own book displays or lists. Simon and Schuster recently sent me an email with a link to the following list: Anti-New Year's Resolution Reads. The idea behind the list is to promote books "if you’re done with setting life goals, check out these books filled with excess, desire, and obsession." This is such a fun idea.
I am not a fan of New Year, New You displays. This would be a fun alternative. The publisher clearly is promoting their own titles but you can look at the backlist in your library's collection and curate a display from what you own that could use a little more attention and promotion.
There are links to some lists below to get you started. Don't forget to look at your non-fiction especially cookbooks and biographies of those who lived with "excess, desire, and obsession." Also remember that people can become obsessed or passionate about many things so expand your search into your collection!
