[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the feedback. This is actually very well received by teams of my peers in the same role, and it’s actually what people want. If the sentiment on DCUM is per the last few, I also will not spend time on the thread so no need to reply further. [/quote]

Oh jeez OP you sound insufferable. I was going to offer some help but sounds like you don't need it. You've got it all figured out! I'm guess your "peers" have better personality so if I were you I would not expect my newsletter to go over as well as theirs. [/quote]

OP's peers are convinced their employees love their book suggestions too! Whatever![/quote]

Then... ask the peers and employees for suggestions and credit them? [/quote]

This.  People who are actually in your field and also enjoy reading I think would have the best insight into books that would have both the greatest benefit for and appeal to your audience.

If you want to include book recommendations in your newsletter, I think if would work better if the suggestions came from the wider audience.

Ask the newsletter’s readers to send in  recommendations with/without reviews.  You could publish them as is, or use them like you’re apparently trying to use DCUM:  “I wish to offer my gratitude to the many contributors who have suggested books to review, and especially to John Doe who suggested this month’s book “———“ which I greatly enjoyed. . .  I look forward to reading many of the other suggestions in the future, and hope that readers will continue to submit suggestions that they feel would benefit this organization.”[/quote]
