Well, friends, hope your first week back to school - teens and teachers was great! Getting all settled in now, it's time to find some good books to read. This week we linked the adult Readers Roost blog to GoodReads.com and I found an interesting way to link to other readers who only post about books - from all over the world. Fascinating.
Now I have found a blog in Australia from a boys Catholic school that has some interesting book recommendations. Enjoy the ability to learn about the similarities and differences of students on the other side of the world. That is one of the joys of the internet. Visit the link for year 10 as written by Mr. Thompson : shelf/http://shelftales.wordpress.com/book-shelf/
Visit the new teen space at Central City soon and don't forget to sign up for Teens and Books starting Aug. 24. 5:30-7:30 pm - CC Public library will provide Books, Movies and Pizza with discussion and trivia games about Harry Potter this month. Others planned include Nancy Drew, Eragon and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Hi Donna and everyone at Muhlenberg County. Thanks for linking to our blog, Shelf Tales at St Paul's Manly. The Year 10 list is Mr Hunter's (also known in blog comments as Rich or mcgrathcantcatch - a parochial cricket reference), who is from England, giving us three points in the English speaking world. Good luck with your blog. They take some time to develop but are a great way to converse across borders.

Marita, Thanks for the note - I stand corrected - the blog from Marita Thomson includes the list from Mr. Hunter, and I am so glad you noticed and connected. It will be nice to have a blog buddy across the world. Some of our books will be similar I am sure!
