The website The Portalist recently ran an article called "Sci-Fi and Fantasy Recs Based on Your Favorite Foods and Drinks." As I have mentioned before, these sort of lists are flexible and there are really no right or wrong answers. They have been created based upon a reader's favorite character in a movie or TV show, astrological sign, tarot cards, and more. Publishers often send out lists like this as part of their marketing emails or library newsletters.
Take advantage of these ideas to market your own backlist and promote those titles that can benefit from the spotlight that a book display can provide. Don't worry about using the same titles that are included in the email or newsletter; instead take the idea and apply it to the titles you have in your physical or digital collection. While the themes can promote creativity and provide an interesting and fun task for staff, the real purpose of a book display is as a marketing tool for the books which are in your collection and not receiving promotional help from publishers, TV/movie adaptations, or other media focus.
Here are some ideas to get you started but don't feel as if you need to follow any of these precisely. Take The Portalist list and change it to favorite coffee drinks or desserts.
