Some books on misterdoctorcoachguy's shelf. How to cite books is a bit different from website citation.

Notice that the title of the page we are on appears at the top in the rose-colored box—give it in quotation marks after the author’s name: “How to Cite this Website.” Be sure to identify whichever page you are using: “What is Literature?” or “What are Genres?” or “Narrative,” etc. Every page will have a title at the top.

Next comes the name of the website in italics: misterdoctorcoachguy.com followed by a comma and the copyright date (found in the box at the bottom of each page).

Finally, the last date in the citation should be the date you viewed the page you are citing. Websites change often, so it is important to include your access date.
