By
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! :)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

By
Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

By
  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...
