Hello to ALA Friends & A Few Notes

Welcome and hello to those of you who have found my blog after meeting me at ALA Midwinter this past weekend! Take a look around, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

I'm still unpacking (you should have seen my office at work today-it looked like a tornado came through!) and am back to a long to-do list (both at home and work) so I'll start up with reviews again bright and early Monday morning.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm taking an Adult Lit class this semester so I'll be reading more adult fiction this year than I have in year's past. I'm thinking of making a weekly (or bi-weekly) feature to review these titles. I'm trying to read off the Alex Awards list so I can read adult titles with teen appeal. Should I post reviews or not? I want to know what you think!

  1. Yes! Please post reviews of the adult books you read too.

  2. I'd love to see your adult reviews, I'm always looking for things to read if I take a break from YA.

  3. Yes, post them please! There are many on the Alex list I really want to read so it will be nice to have someone help me weed them out!

  4. Yes, please post reviews! I'm trying to read more Alex Awards this year too. I'm currently reading The Radleys and am very happy with my choice. I can see definite teen appeal!

  5. I struggle with that too! I am a teen librarian, but do a lot of adult reference and readers advisory so I have to read adult and teen books. In the past I have not posted adult reviews on my teen blog, but maybe I should reconsider that. I would definitely appreciate review of the Alex winners.

  8. I would love to see the reviews! Have you decided which ones you are going to read yet?

  9. Please post your reviews. I have a couple of kids at my library that think reading YA is beneath them (I really don't get it since I'm an adult and I read YA.) So I always try to have a good array of adult books that I know I can reccommend.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
