Not only did I compile my statistics for this month, I finished m 2023 goal of 850 book and am currently at 867! I feel extra good about my almost "A" average (87%) of reviews.
And yes, it's sad that I'm only buying 22% of what I read. Budget's a little tight, and haven't seen as many books on topics for which my students ask.
My students routinely ask for funny books, sports books, and adventure books, both spy and outdoors. Since the pandemic, there has been a huge appetite for horror books. Very few of my students read fantasy, but the ones who do read a lot. Sad realistic fiction? Novels in verse? Not so much.
Because this blog is aimed at librarians and patrons of school libraries all books reviewed should be available in hard cover from vendors like Follett. I rarely review books that are only available in paperback and never review books that are born digital or published through subsidy publishers. I use E ARCs provided by Netgalley and Edelweiss, and physical ARCs if provided by major publishers, as well as finished books. I do not earn any money from this blog, and any books I receive are donated to my school library or other libraries in my district. All opinions are my own and do not reflect anyone else's.
What topics are your students asking for?
