    Review Disclaimer: Many of the books I review on this site have been sent to me by publishers, authors, or publicists. I do not receive compensation for the reviews. I only review books I like and can recommend to other readers because I will not waste time reading or reviewing books I do not like. I do not keep review copies after I am done with them. They are passed on to teen reviewers or donated to schools and other non-profit organizations.

    I've been on Twitter for a while now and often find it usefull. I seem to use it and GoodReads the most. I also like Shelfari but LibraryThing has deleted my account again.

    Genrefluent is your headquarters for information about Readers' Advisory and genre fiction for adults and teens.

    Here you will find reviews on novels in a variety of genres including, crime, science fiction, adventure, thrillers, romance, fantasy, horror, paranormal, historical fiction, westerns, and romance.

     

     

    Click on the teen page for reviews written by teens of current novels . There you will also find links for teen reviews of books nominated for YALSA selected lists.

    Don't forget to read the free Reader's Advisor Online Blog to keep up with what reader's advisors will want to know every week. And, if your library hasn't tried one of the free trials of Reader's Advisor Online, please do. I think it is the best electronic RA tool in existance. I particularly love how well it works for fiction reference which is often one of the steps required when performing reader's advisory.

    Check out Good Reads to see some of my other recent reads. Lots and lots of wonderful books have been coming my way lately so expect to see more here in the next few weeks.

    Remember there is a search box at the bottom of this page. If you click on Genrefluent it will search this site. Check for reviews and teen comments on your favorite books or for suggestions of good reads.

    My latest book, Fluent in Fantasy: The Next Generation (co-written with fantasy diva Bonnie Kunzel) came out last January.

    Some of the reviews written by "my" teens and some of my own reviews are included in The Ultimate Teen Book Guide. It's pretty thrilling to be in a book with so many of my heroes.

     

    Happy reading.
