"You Belong Anywhere a Good Book Is"


Stephanie Meyer says a person belongs anywhere a good book is. She finds the lines between adult, teen and juvenile to be "irritating, a good book is a good book". I couldn't agree more, and it was fun to see her video image telling me so in an Amazon interview. OK, it wasn't a podcast, but it's still in the spirit of technology promoting books and the love of reading. And if there is any doubt about her teen appeal, check out the line waiting to buy her book.


Sno-isle Libraries was the site I chose for podcasts. What a surprise to find I could listen to Nancy Pearl recommendations! Of course, I had to put a title on hold. And she reviewed a couple of children's books. I didn't even know she did that. What a delight to listen to peers read a variety of picture books. Anne Jones, Marilyn LeBlond, Debbie LaGasse and Bryan Stratton, "you go". Bryan, you made me laugh out loud with your rendition of "Cowboy Baby". What a hoot!
