Sobre mimI am a library/media specialist in the Northeast. I am an avid reader and can't wait to read my next book. The only problem I have is deciding which book in my "to read" pile will be next. As far as I am concerned there are never enough hours in a day to read. My perfect job would be reading and writing reviews... without a doubt.

My job is a teacher/library media specialist, but my passion is all about the kids and their learning to acquire a love of reading. I purchase children's books for K-5 and have been involved with young adult literature as well. I believe strongly that children who love to read will succeed, whether they read online or in a book.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI am most drawn to reading historical fiction and history which I include biography. I also enjoy a lot of contemporary fiction.
However, I read nearly every Stephen King book written(yet usually hate horror books). I am not particularly interested in fantasy books, but have read many of the Terry Brooks "Shannara Series" and of course CS Lewis and Tolkein.

Therefore, I would say I am always looking for a great read. I have an open mind and read reviews often. PLEASE, recommend any books you think were your absolute favorites!!!!!

As a library media specialist, I read The New York Times Book Review. I always look at School Library Journal, Booklist, Amazon, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and especially read my fellow Library Thingers reviews out there!!!!!

Please write and recommend your favorites.

I still have books to add to my account, just never have the time.

I actually found a few copies lying around my house. Send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I’ll send you a signed copy.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

I liked the book better than the movie. The book has so much more life than the movie, plus they left out the most important part in the movie that was in to book...Lol have to love when they make a book into a movie and leave out the best part!

I think you might like the stroy "the boy in the Stripped Pajamas" its about world war 2 its a quick read like maybe 100 and some odd pages!

Hi Wisteria,

You asked for recommendations. You and I have two of the same favorites on our lists The Glass Castle and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Since you are an American history lover, I think you might the historical fiction, Mary by Janis Cook Newman. I loved it and it is one of my favorites.

Your bio asks for recommendations of favourites, so I'll give you one suggestion for now: Stone Junction by Jim Dodge. I thought it was brilliant. There are many elements of the fantastic to it, but equally it feels quite grounded. Great fun.

Now that I have been here to visit and read your bio I see why our tastes are similar in some ways. I was an elementary middle school librarian for 6 yrs and loved every minute of it.

So I did my first review, and it's short sweet and too the point. I did not want to give to much away about the book but i just didn't know how to do that, so leaving it short and sweet seemed the way to go lol!

escrito por LadyTink2, às 4:24 pm (EST) , Jun 24, 2009

I just wanted to let you know that I responded to your query in the Author Chat a few days ago, though I wasn't sure I gave the answer you were looking for. I'll still be answering questions tomorrow if you'd like.

Thanks for your interest in my work!

Best wishes,
Dara Horn

Ahhh thank you very much that does help me. I will get started on the reviews I'm excited!

escrito por LadyTink2, às 5:39 pm (EST) , May 31, 2009

I was trying to play around to see how i could review them...But i cannot figure it out?! How do i do that lol...And I've read so many i can't remember half the books i read... I need to go through my library at home :)

escrito por LadyTink2, às 9:41 am (EST) , May 31, 2009

Thanks. Nice interview. I had read the book before the interview and loved it. Wonderful to hear the author's thoughts.

Our local library actually sent me Hand Rhymes (and a few other books) as a present when Jasper was born! Glad to hear it's a good one :)

Hi, I just joined this site. Are you a writer too?

escrito por AuthorsandExperts, às 11:18 pm (EST) , Mar 13, 2009

Nice interview! I haven't read King's Daughter yet but know Sandra and am looking forward to reading her latest book. As for where I put my book collection, right now the overflow books are on the floor next to my desk! :)

Thanks for the note! I'm glad you found the interview with Efrem Sigel interesting!

escrito por Jenners26, às 5:30 pm (EST) , Feb 16, 2009

Hi. I saw you just read "The Disappearance" by Efrem Sigel. I thought you might be interested in the author interview I just posted with him. The link is: http://findyournextbookhere.blogspot.com...

escrito por Jenners26, às 11:13 pm (EST) , Feb 14, 2009

Absolutely....I'm reviewing it for a magazine and will be posting it on my blog. The book is excellent and chronicles his life prior to the trials and on through his repentance.

I'd love to hear more about Salem Witch Judge whenever you get to it (although I suppose I'll probably see the review on your blog). Please shoot me a message about it if you happen to remember. Thanks!

Hi-haven't yet read Ahab's Wife, but it is highly recommended by someone whose book opinions I usually share. Let me know what you think if you get to it first.

Hi-saw you're looking for recommendations. I mention The Condition by Jennifer Haigh to anyone interested in excellent writing - also loved Crossing to Safety by Stegner. You are absolutely right-too few hours in the day and too many books. So nice to be among fellow book lovers: a lovely oasis. I am so glad that you are bringing a love of reading to children. It always seems odd that there are people who don't love to read. There is a sign on a school marquee here that says "Remember to read during the summer." I always think that is like saying "Remember to breathe."
