Suggetions for Young Adult Readers

Suzanne Collins second book in her post-apocolyptic, fantasy series was just released yesterday. The second in the "Hunger Games" series is called Catching Fire. This series is sure to be a hit with young adults and adults alike. In Hunger Games, 24 children are selected to compete to the death before a live audience. At the end of this first in the series, two competitors remain and this is where yesterday's release, Catching Fire, picks up. Collins is about two-thirds done with the third and final book in the trilogy. It remains to be seen if this series will attain the popularity of Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" series but it seems to be a good bet as foreign translations and movie rights are in the works.

So Many Books, I Forget All Their Names !

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. You love to read and you read many books during the course of a year. You get suggestions of great books from friends and family, the book section of the neswpaper, or listening to the radio or televsion. You jot down the name of that book while your driving. You rip out the article from the book section of the Sunday paper. You're having lunch with a friend and you write down the name of the book your friend suggests on the back of your cash station receipt. Pretty soon you've got dozens of bits of paper floating around, none of which you can find when you need to! Wouldn't it be nice to keep an organized list of what you want to read and what you've already read? Wouldn't it be nice to find similar books to the ones you really loved? Would you like to connect with others who have similar reading tastes as you? Library Thing is just the site for you. You can do all that I've mentioned and more. Would you like to get free books? If you sign up to be a reviewer you have an opportunity to receive free books before they are published. Free books, just for the price of a review. Not a bad deal.

See what others are saying about Library Thing. There are dozens of reviews and comments including articles published in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe,and School Library Journal, just to name a few.

I recommend that all readers check out Library Thing. You'll find that it's fun as well as functional.
