So, Nancy Keane is one of my heroes. There has been many a time that I have been scrounging for a booktalk and found one on her site. You can just go for the straight-up book talk, searching by title, author, or subject. There are usually several to choose from.
Nancy Keane's Booktalks Quick and Simple
Her Booktalker's blog has booktalks that she posts every couple of days. I like this idea for a blog.
Then she also has her booktalks as podcasts. This is great for the media center. I could use these to mix it up during my booktalks. It would also be a great link on our website. Here is the list through an RSS feed.
Podcasts
She also has a link to some audio excerpts that could give students a real taste for what the book is like. They're from AudioBook and there are quite a few on the list.

There is also a place to post student-written booktalks. This may be a great place to get some student work published. I love it!
Happy reading!
