New Book Lists

New book lists are generated every month for the nonfiction, fiction and paperback fiction orders that we place. Presently, we have them available to peruse on the New Fiction and New Nonfiction shelves near the entryway at the main branch.
Beginning in January, I will be emailing the lists to anyone who is interested in this information. You may request to be placed on the mailing list by responding to this entry or by emailing me directly at jxbalas@reading.lib.pa.us.

Book Reviews

I have had some very positive reactions to the ASRP participants' comments that have been posted on the blog throughout this past summer. I always enjoy hearing what people have to say about the books that they read; it's my favorite part of coordinating our summer reading program. So I would like to hear more from you!
If you would like to share your thoughts, positive or negative, about the books that you are reading, I will start posting them here. You may submit them as a comment to this entry or email them to me directly at jxbalas@reading.lib.pa.us

Links to a Few Book Review Sites:

BIBLIOfemme - An Irish bookclub
BiblioReview.com - A gateway to online book reviews and author reviews
brothersjudd.com - (I like the categories and the grading system very much.)
Harriet Klausner - (I can't believe this woman read all these books! So jealous of her ability.)
See also Metacritic in the links column.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Thanks in advance!
