Confessions of a Teenage Bibliophile- Kathleen

Kathleen has also graciously answered our questions!*

Who is your idol (in real life or in fiction)?
Oooo, tough one.....probably all those main characters (mainly female ones) who make things in life look so easy to do, like solve a humongous mystery that stumps every one else, save someone's life, or even something as difficult as finding a perfect guy (which must be impossible). If something in my life had the option of being easy, I'd be so happy.

What's your favorite book? Why?
One of my many favorite books is City of Glass because after you read the other two books, you've really gotten to know the characters and then in City of Glass, it wraps everything up in type of way that makes you hate to put the book down or finish it. Of course, then Cassandra Clare decided it wasn't over, but still.....the idea is there.

Who is your favorite fictional character?
Another hard one!!!! I'd have to say Katsa from Graceling. The only reason I have is she's cool. :)

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

The setting for the series Warriors is my favorite, and if I could live there, yes I would, but only as a cat (that's what all the characters are).

Is there a book you can relate to your life?

Not one that I've read yet.

What is your favorite movie based on a book?

Right now, the only book made into movie i can think of (that was good) is one of the Harry Potter ones. I didn't like the third, fourth, or fifth, but the first, second, and the sixth were good.

Do you have a favorite series of books?
Yes, Warriors by Erin Hunter.

Would you ever want to be an author? If so, what kind of book would you write?
Yes, being an author sounds fun to me, and I'd probably write something with fantasy in it because you can mess with things and make up stuff so as not to ruin the plot you want.

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

The YA section. I don't know how exactly, but I thinks it's time for it to be changed.

Summer 2021 Recommendations for Your High School Reader!

  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...
