    Hey Bobbi,

    I love your ending line! In one sentence, you have managed to say something quick about the book, as well as elicit the feeling that you enjoyed it and want more! I will have to check this one out as well. Any one else getting the looming feeling that their Next-Read list is about to get exponentially longer during the duration of this class?

    This was a wonderful review. You followed the format perfectly and I feel like I could have read this on Kirkus myself. Thank you for sharing!

Reading Profile

  Hello! I am a book enthusiast and librarian. I love attending book clubs and sharing discussions about books with others. In my previous role at the library, I ran two book clubs, now I get to attend them without the pressure of leading the group. :) While I love checking books out at the library, my favorites end up on my bookshelf at home! Belle is my favorite Disney princess because she has a beautiful library! That is my dream! To be surrounded by my favorite stories! I read a lot of different genres (one of the book clubs I attend intentionally picks a different genre each month! Wow! That really expanded the selection of books that I like!). My go to genres are thrillers, YA, historical fiction, with a bit of nonfiction tossed in. I love books with surprises that I did not see coming and ones that inspire me. My favorite authors and books are everchanging! I'm always stressed when people ask me for my favorite book - I could never have just one! But here are my current favo...

Prompt 5: eBooks and Audiobooks

I have to admit, there is something about the feel of a book in my hands that makes me happy. This is a conversation that I have held with many patrons! But out of convenience, I find e-Books and audiobooks to be great tools. I have even been known to read the same story via a physical book and an ebook at the same time. I read the physical book all day and switch to the ebook at night or when I do not want to carry the actual book. This way I can switch seamlessly between the formats that work best for me at the moment. I personally struggled a bit with audiobooks at first. I would lose track of the story and struggle to keep track of multiple characters.  So audiobooks lost some of their appeal for me. However, I would say that even throughout this class, I have gotten better and can now listen to a book while I get things done around the house. This adds appeal because being tight on time does not mean I have to wait to dive into a good book. I can do dishes, make dinner, take o...
