Book Reviews
Book reviews will help you and your classmates decide what to read next.
- Ask your friends, teachers, and librarian for recommendations.
- Utilize your card catalog/OPAC: If your library is using Destiny you can create book reviews and recommend books to your friends. Follow the trail of the subject headings in the record for a book you enjoyed.
- YALSA and other Book Awards: Check into some award winning books
- Goodreads, LibraryThing, & Shelfari: These are book recommending and cataloging websites that you can keep track of what you are reading too.
