This Week's Books April 28, 2008

Now that the weather is finally beginning to get a little bet warm my poor brain is suffering from spring fever. I've been having a hard time remembering what I read last week, or even yesterday so I was going through my book database trying to remember what I had been reading. To my surprise I found several books that I thought had been featured and had slipped through the cracks so some of this week's books were read months ago.

So many of the books I've read recently and loved were ones I reviewed for Booklist so they aren't reviewed here. Check Booklist out for Dragon and Liberator by Timothy Zahn and The Immortal Prince: Book One of The Tide Lords by Jennifer Fallon.

My favorite RA tool is Reader's Advisor Online and I absolutely love the free blog with Cindy Orr's excellent RA Run Down every week. She puts together a bestseller mashup and a few other lists each week that I really enjoy perusing.

Happy reading,

D

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.

I have a lot of workshops and programs coming up so that is consuming a lot of my time. I hope to see some of you on my trips to Massachusetts, the Mountain Plains Library Association/Utah Library Association meeting in Salt Lake, and later this year in Denver, Atlanta, and Toronto.

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