WAPL08: Notable genre book discussion (and bonus Have You Heard...)
Four well-read librarians with delightfully diverse tastes brought a pile of really good books to this session - some highlights I've added to my own list:
- See you in a hundred years: four seasons in forgotten America by Logan Ward - "Better Off" redux?
- Life as we knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer - apocalyptic YA novel
- Unwind by Neal Shusterman - Parts: The Clonus Horror for teens
- Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson - sounds sweet
- Driven by Eve Kenin - possible romance/road B-movie fun
With the exception of Green Gables, I seem to have latched onto the eschatologically-flavored titles. Hm.
Another good source of yummy reads that I learned about in the "Have You Heard About" session was twitterlit.com, which feeds you 2 first lines of books every day.
Well, that's all I've managed to blog. Post-conference resources, slides etc. will be on the WAPL site soon. Happy trails, all!
