Week 7, Assignment 3
Monday, June 3, 2013
I've decided to follow the blog Stacked (Librarians Reviews Mayhem) at http://www.stackedbooks.org/). Contributors are Kimberly Francisco, a public librarian "with a weakness for genre fiction" and Kelly Jenson, a "compulsive consumer of all things books and blogs." The About section of the blog Stacked states that the blog "is interested in reviewing books for readers while simultaneously enticing non-readers to think about reading in fun and interesting ways." I believe the intended audience is librarians, booksellers, and others who are interested in young adult books.
The other blog I'm going to follow is Teenreads at http://www.teenreads.com/, part of the Book Report Network, which also includes the following sites: Bookreporter, 20Something Reads, Kidsreads, Reading Group Guides, Graphic Novel Reporter, Faithful Reader, and Authors On The Web. I believe this blog is intended for a general audience of readers.

Teenreads has an interview with author Jacqueline Green, who answers questions about Truth Or Dare and gives an exclusive reveal for the next book in the series. Also, the website announced that
Eoin Colfer is back with a new series to follow Artemis Fowl. A teen orphan boy from Victorian London is helped by a modern day 19-year-old FBI agent to evade a conjurist bent on murder.
