I am shocked. I've only rad ONE of those books!!!!! Peaches, and it's amazing!

library lady said...

Well, now you've got a few suggestions--and I'll expect a few of your wonderful, enlightening reviews! :)

TAZ said...

This is awesome. These librarians spent most of their time on this for teens to read and enjoy different types of books that they have not read yet.

Abbey said...

of course!

I just went to the library today and picked up all the summer reading materials. Why didn't you put any of the Twilight books on the list? (sob, sob) :) I got Becoming Chloe and Have to Have it (it's a nannies novel) has anybody read these? are they good? I don't know..I just get overwhelmed with book lists! (AND you can never find the books on there that sound good!)

Megan said...

Are there any other books that are not on this list that you recommend?

library lady said...

No "Twilight" cuz we're anti-goth, remember? :) Plus, you all know about it (& then some). You don't need me for that one! :)

Goofy Girl!

As for Becoming Chloe -- read it so long ago, but as I recall it was good. And, feel Free to refresh my memory. If u enjoy, u might also like "Defining Dulcie," "Jerk, California," "Desert Crossing," &
"13 Little Blue Envelopes." A few other fun road trip = discovery type reads. :)

Rachel said...

i havn't read any of the books on that list which is weird because i've read a lot of books. i just got the reading program stuff and there are soooo many books on those book lists. O and Defining Dulcie is a really good book.

library lady said...

It's not so weird--cuz luckily for us "read a lot of book" people, there's lots of books! I'm glad you liked Defining Dulcie. I really liked it too! I'll come up w/ a few more 'road trip' titles for u & post 'em to the blog.
