As a reference librarian I have access to all sorts of books, old and new. Since I started working in a library, I have been reading non-stop. Included on my shelf are some of my favorite books as well as new ones I have read recently.

Please email me if you want to discuss the books we are reading. I enjoy making new friends....more »

    Don't know why I even looked this up but after I replied to your post about 'Happiness Sold Seperately' I thought "this sounds like a movie" and lo and behold:

    From fandango.com

    Hey! I know I haven't been on in a while, my computer was temporarily down. But it is back up and running now :-).

    I finished My Sisters Keeper ove a week ago and it was good. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I couldn't put it down and it was very emotional, on the other hand I was not happy with everything that happened so I don't know. But if you read it I would love to discuss it!!!

    Really? You didn't like Sushi? I thought it was supposeed great, hmnm, maybe I will read another by her because I do want to try some Marrion Keys.

    Yes, I've used Diary of Wimpy Kid (successful). I also have Captain Underpants (some success), Maus (both I & II), Trojan Horse, Bone, and another one that is about a radio station back east somewhere. I still need more (my students read at 1st to 3rd grade level mostly). Thx for taking the time to respond. I am trying desperately to create a culture of reading, but it AIN'T easy!

    OMG! A real INTELLEKCHOOL! SO glad someone knows their books. My students are HIGH SCHOOL kids (reading at 1st to 5th grade level). I need high interest/low vocabulary stuff about sex, drugs & rock-n-roll (rap). 80% of our incoming 9th graders are reading at 4th or 5th grade level. I have ESL kids as well--the task is daunting. Any help would be appreciated (I'm familiar with SOME hi/lo stuff; I've got a "Quick picks for reluctant readers" list as well as a "reluctant readers title list."

    May I ask where you are a reference librarian? Do you think you could help me with recommendations for reluctant readers? You sound like you know your stuff.

    Well, Toulla. I think this is a wonderful site to chat with like-mind readers. Now alot of my reading is actually research these days, but being part of this reminds the wonderful journeys books encourge.

    No, I didn't see it but I hear it is supposed to be good. Maybe I will read the first book first so I know a little about what is going on and then I will catch up on the series online. Thanks for the info!!
