| Introduction | I am a YA librarian, reviewer, blogger, newspaper columnist and writer. This is a picture of my buddy Beaudacious! Isn't he beautiful? I review Advance Reader Copies for publisher. If I receive a book from a publisher, I put the disclaimer on the review. I love YA lit and read as many new books as I can. I like to be able to recommend books that I have read and enjoyed. Kids love when I recommend a book just for them! And it gets a conversation going about books. My reviews are shared on a book website developed by a fellow librarian at A Book and a Hug. My blog is now a featured blog of the Texas Library Association. This blog was awarded High School Blog of the Year 2012 by the Texas Library Association. Chair, District 6, Texas Library Association 2014 Mentor Librarian 2011 Texas Library Association Mentor Librarian 2011 YALSA, ALA (American Library Association) Give the gift of reading to every child you know. It will change your life and make the world a better place! |
