List O Mania – Fab Films
In addition to the Awards announced at the ALA Youth Media Awards, during Midwinter a number of committees work very hard to put together lists. Here, the list I worked on for Fab Films. The theme? Survival. (The photos are our official meeting room!) Hope you enjoy it; YALSA has decided to end this committee [...]
List O Mania – Notables
ALSC and it’s lists and awards include books for readers up to age fourteen; so ALSC’s Notables list is always a good list to look at for young teens. It’s also always interesting to see what titles are included in both ALSC and YALSA lists. The full list of 2013 Notable Children’s Book includes notes about [...]
List O Mania – Rainbow List
More and more lists! From the Rainbow Book List website: “The Rainbow Book List is a joint project of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Round Table and the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association. The Rainbow Book List presents an annual bibliography of quality books with significant and authentic GLBTQ content, which [...]
Speak Up, Already!
So, I’m having my cup of coffee, eating a cinnamon roll, and reading the news feed on my vacation day (yes, I admit it, fear of driving home during Nemo made me use a day off), when I see a tweet from Jenny Luca: Which led me to this article in The Atlantic: Introverted Kids [...]
List O Mania – Amelia Bloomer
Some lists that come out of ALA are not from ALSC or YALSA. Take, for example, the 2013 Amelia Bloomer List from the Amelia Bloomer Project, a product of the ALA Social Responsibilities Round Table’s (SRRT) Feminist Taskforce, announced the 2013 Amelia Bloomer List at ALA’s Midwinter Meeting in Seattle, held Jan. 25-29, 2013. From [...]
List O Mania – BFYA
As you can see, I am trying to include all the various lists that have come out recently! I am sure I am not the only list obsessed reader out there, right? Best Fiction for Young Adult (which sort-of kinda used to be Best Books for Young Adults) includes several top titles; Angela Frederick has [...]
List O Mania – Audiobooks and Quick Picks
Some more YALSA lists! Amazing Audiobooks is all about audiobooks, fiction and nonfiction. Anyone who has listened to a book knows that the narration and direction can make or break a book; here is the list of 2013 Amazing Audiobooks. I’ve listened to exactly none of them. Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers is a terrific list, [...]
Review: Ask the Passengers
Ask the Passengers by A.S. King. Little, Brown. 2012. Reviewed from ARC from publisher. The Plot: Astrid lives in a small town where everyone knows, or thinks they know, everyone’s business. Everyone judges. So Astrid keeps some things to herself: like that her father is smoking pot. Like how she and her younger sister Ellis are [...]
Brown Bookshelf: 28 Days Later
It’s Black History Month, and you know what that means! The Brown Bookshelf is celebrating children’s literature with 28 Days Later. From the website: “To celebrate children’s authors and illustrators of color, during the twenty-eight days of Black History Month we’ll profile a different artist. Vanguard artists are those who have paved the way for [...]
