Yay for Summer....Time to Read! -- Adelson Library Wiki

We've made it to summer! Thank goodness! My plans include reading, reading, reading...and maybe some more reading. Oh blessed summer days!

While I was looking around the other day for Twilight suggestions, I found this FABULOUS website. It's the Adelson Library Wiki, created by Mrs. Douglas. Whoever you are, Mrs. Douglas, I salute you!

You type in a book or author that you love in the search bar, and it will bring up a list of suggestions for other books you would enjoy. The pages are organized by authors, but if you search for a book title, it will still work. She includes a little bio of the author, a list of authors that are similar, and a list of books that are similar. It's really a great resource. She has a lot of stuff on there that I never thought about.

Her main website is entitled "What should I read next?" and has lists of good books. I particularly like the featured author page. That's a great idea! This is the kind of website I hope to create someday for our media center.

Happy reading!
