My name is librarybooks because I work with school libraries. More specifically I work for a wholesale book company that sells to K-12 school libraries. I have also been accepted to a graduate school for Library & Information Science and will start classes Summer of 2008! My plan is to work in a school library.

    ¡Hello! Librarybooks.

    I am a recent member in Shelfari and I find it very interesting and enriching for readers and authors. I am just taking my first steps in this rich world through Internet where my wife and my two daughters travel since long time ago. My mother language is Spanish even though I speak English.

    I recently spent a few days in the “Gran Sabana” in southern Venezuela, one of the more ancient places in our planet. From where I live it is a day trip by road. It was a novel experience for my youngest daughter; sleep in a tent in a native camp, bath in waterfalls, navigate a rushing river by canoe, see large waterfalls and majestic “tepuyes”, sense the immensity of the vast plateau of the plains in the middle of the jungle, and more. For me, it was the opportunity to meet again with the place that inspired the first of four adventures that give life to my fiction novel in Spanish, always motivated to communicate realistic and positive messages to teens and young adults.

    If you know someone that may be interested in reading a fiction novel of mystery and adventure in Spanish, here are the links in Amazon:
    (La búsqueda de los verdaderos tesoros: La guía, la llave y el salvoconducto.)
    www.createspace.com/3552658.
    www.amazon.com/dp/B004QGYXES.
    You will find that you can read part of the novel and also that there are some Book Extras that may give you an idea about it.

    My best regards, Bernardo Lorenzo.

    I'm running a split screen between your Shelfari account and our regional library, ordering books to be sent and read based on your reviews...You're like having a personal librarian! Thanks.

    Let me know what you think of "Perfect Chemistry". I did do a review (http://booksinthespotlight.blogspot.com/2010/06/imperfect-chemistry.html) in case you missed it.

    It was! I can't believe that was three years ago. It was probably the largest event I've seen Anderson's host.

    Is your profile picture taken from the Naperville Eclipse event at North Central? It looks kind of like the lobby, and I saw you're from Illinois. Just curious!

    hey! i just wanted to let you know that i still check in on your shelf almost every time i log in to shelfari. we have pretty similar tastes in books, and so if you loved something, i will usually find a way to read it. i am so glad you are still doing written reviews of so many of the books you read. i have kind of petered out on that...

    also, i noticed your review on wildwood dancing and just had to recommend daughter of the forest, also by juliet marillier. it was the first book she wrote, and imo it is her best. it is also a fairytale retelling, this time of the six swans. so far, i haven't met a reader who hasn't loved it.

    Finished New Moon the other day. It was better than Twilight, but I am fairly certain that Eclipse may not be my most favorite. I am quite the Jacob fan.

    Dear Librarybooks: I am an author from Massachusetts. I've come to appreciate libraries much more recently. I've done some readings of my novel in front of very appreciative audiences, not k-12 though. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published in April by Kunati Books of Canada. If you enjoy reading a good thriller, you might like HUNTING. The novel revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother die in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother’s death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college. Now an archaeologist, she has been recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to discover whatever or whoever is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As an observant Catholic, she is scared that whatever she finds will have devastating consequences for her faith. There is a wonderful YouTube book trailer well worth watching if you have the chance. Happy Thanksgiving. Peter

    When I finished Twilight, all I could think was how badly I wanted a new Percy Jackson to come out. Goodness. It was good. I told my girlfriend I would read it and I did. I am TRYING to read New Moon, but goodness is it hard for me to relate to a teenage girl.

    Good luck with your studies. We need even more dedicated school librarians! I hope you'll get some ideas from my shelf. I appreciate the shelves that have books rated and tagged. They're much more useful.

    This is my lightest LEEP semester. Work has been slow so I usually read about 1-2 books during the day. I have to keep up kids wanting book recommendations! I'm reading from the Rebecca Caudill list and they are really quick reads. I limit TV to Mondays (Heroes), Tuesday (The Mentalist), and Wednesday (Pushing Daisies). I also cut down my time on the Lex. As you can see, I have no social life whatsoever. LOL

    Hey, I finished Lightning thief. It was awesome. No one has any copies of the rest of these books! I had to start John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series, but I only have book one in the series.

    If you love Nick and Norah's, I would highly suggest Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List. I liked it a little more than Nick and Norah's. I hope they write another book together.

    p.s. The final is not hard. If you did you're readings and know the major points, then you'll do fine. Trust me, the tracking paper was the hardest. Good luck!

    I bought Roswell Season 1 and 2 this past weekend. I'm waiting for summer school to be over to watch it. It'll keep my jitters for BD at bay for a little while at least. How are you surviving bootcamp?

    I loved Nick and Norah's infinite playlist! I actually liked Nick more than Norah. Did you know they are making a movie based on the book with Michael Cera? If you like these two authors together then I highly recommend Naomi and Eyle's no kiss list. It's fantastic!
