Confessions of a Teenage Bibliophile- Jenny

Jenny's back! She has kindly agreed to share more of her opinions and thoughts in our new and hopefully ongoing series "Confessions of a Teenage Bibliophile" in which teens answer questions about their favorite books and the library!*

Name: Jenny Baglio
Age: 14
School: FHS


Who is your idol (in real life or fiction)?

You, Sti! You are such a bright person and you're always willing to talk to everyone.

What's your favorite book? Why?

I have none because I love almost all of the books I've read and I can relate to them somehow. I just love books in general, they can take you everywhere and allow you to feel every emotion. It's an art.

Who is your favorite fictional character?

Annabeth Chase. She is very strong emotionally and physically but she still has a soft side.

What's your favorite fictional world? If you could live there would you?

Idris. Yes, everyone is able to fight the ultimate evil - demons!

Is there a book you can relate your life to?

Things hoped for

What is your favorite movie based on a book?

The Princess Bride. I would say The Lightning Theif, but the movie isn't out yet

Do you have a favorite series of books?

Maximum Ride Series (minus the 4th one)

Would you ever want to be an author? If so, what kind of book would you write?

Yes, I would write realistic fiction, but my work would never leave my desk because i'm so self-critical.

Non-book related questions:
What's your favorite class in school?


Humanities (GT English)

If you could change one thing about the library what would it be?


A bigger YA section with more chairs


*These are really difficult questions (who can pick ONE favorite book or character) so keep that in mind! :)

  Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*: As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers... I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!

I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti
