Patty, I just Read Liar and while I kept turning the pages and I loved Micah's love for her "missing" boyfriend, BUT in the end, I wasn't really crazy about the book. If you have ever read Inexcusable by Chris Lynch, the main character is an unrelia…

Patty I just entered Wake by Lisa McMann and then I went to the blog where you have your entry about the nominations and the link is not working---you have wikispace as SINGULAR not plural.....so you will wnat to change that. Thanks, BJ

Please feel free to add whatever! We are looking for quality titles that you think YAs will enjoy. We bump titles over from one year to the next when necessary. We just had a meeting last weekend, 11/7, and are starting to cull through the suggested…

Sometimes it's slow to load and you will need to scroll over all the way with the bottom scroll bar to see the up/down scroll bar on the far right. From there you can pull down to see the rest of sheet 1. Hope this helps.

Just went to payoungadult....wiki and I am not able to view all of the titles in the doc. It only shows sheet 1 and covers authors Abrahams down to Headley. Let me know if I am doing something wrong, I do know there are more titles because I looked…

I liked Impossible, but it doesn't seem to resonate with students the way Werlin's other titles do. Killer's Cousin and Double Helix are very popular here. Yep, Susan Shaw wrote both Black-eyed Suzie and Boy in the Basement. It sounds as though you'…

Thanks for the info on Split, Choices and Becasue I am Furniture. If you're still looking for titles on abuse I highly recommend Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin, and another...Black-eyed Suzie - Shaw.

Thanks, I'm definitely getting that book! Turnabout is fair play, so I'll share a recent title that has been popular here is, Gotcha! by Shelley Hrdlitschka. It's about an underground game that the senior class plays. There's romance and teen frenem…

I just wanted to jump in and share a title I just read a while ago - it's called Lockdown and is by Alexander Gordon Smith. It is absolutely action packed from the very first page! I predict that this book will be worn out before it's been in my lib…

Wow, that's an impressive list! Did you post 1 - 33 and I missed them? Our students are into Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games and Catching Fire and we can't keep them on the shelves. Going Bovine got such good reviews, with comparisons to Catcher in th…

Carole Ashbridge replied to Patty McClune's discussion 'Google Book Search'
We used Google Books as a bibliography builder. When students would search for a book, they would use the index and then if there was enough information, they would interlibrary loan it. It really helped them zero in on search terms and to be able t…

Floyd Pentlin replied to Patty McClune's discussion 'Google Book Search'
Patty -- I'm not so sure it is an ethical question as much as it is an issue of the students perhaps getting the wrong information. My concern would be that the quote they happen to lift in a preview section is discussed further on in the book givin…

Students are beginning to use this site heavily. It's great for PDFs of complete books no longer under copyright like Marx's Manifesto of the Communist Party. However, I'm questioning the ethics of students using books listed as "previews" on the si…

I have been booktalking to reluctant readers for the last 7 years! It was one of the main responsibilities when I came. There are 3 Reading teachers in our school of 2,000 kids and they come into the library or I go to their classes with a cart of books and booktalk Mysteries, Realtistic Fiction, Historical Fiction and Mutlitcultural Fiction. I spend my summer reading lots of books so when I go back, I have new ones to add to the others I have read! The kids can't believe I have read that much--but I love it.
