This week's thing is actually something I already have - a Vision account. While I don't use it as much as I should, I do like having the shelves to keep track of book I have read. What I do use more is my Goodreads app. Whenever I read a magzine review of a book that looks interesting, I will add it to my reading list. I know I could do the same thing with my Vision account, but for some reason I find the Goodreads one much easier. Maybe because I needed my library card number to start with Vision and it wasn't readily accessible whereas Goodreads didn't need anything. At any rate, I will try downloading the Biblio App and see how it goes. Stay tuned...
We had out book club meeting today. They had the book 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Personally, I liked the book, although it is not my favorite by him (The Truth About Us, awesome!). The group review was split on this book. As I expected, most of the younger members did not enjoy it while the older ones did. I think for the youngers girls, the topic was a bit too hard to deal with. As one said, "I don't mind murder and killing, as long as they aren't doing it to themselves." None the less, we did have a good discussion and eneded with a Thumbs Up review overall.
I actually have a Bibliocommons list for Middle School book club selections! 13 Reasons Why was on it. It is one of those books where you wonder what age you should be recommending it to.
