Lately, I have been pondering what to include in my next book order for the LeGrande Library. I spend quite a bit of my time reading reviews of books, actually reading books and then browsing through catalogs, bookstores and best-of-the-year lists to determine what other books my students might be interested in seeing on my shelves.
However, I have realized that this process may not always actually be the most effective use of my time. I’ll bet that I can do things my usual way and discover materials that you may not have known you wanted until I bought them, but I also think that it would be pretty cool if you shared the titles that you know you already want with me!
You guys know that I can be a little scatterbrained, so it’s always best for me to have requests in writing so I don’t forget them. I already have gotten some suggestions from students in class on Friday and that list is certainly a place to start for me. However, I want more! Some titles that have already been suggested include:
- Additional titles in the Demonata series by Darren Shan
- Biographies of Justin Beiber
- Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey
- Star in the Storm by Joan Hiatt Harlow
- Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen
- 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
I have other titles written in notes on my desk, but I would love for you to post your additional title suggestions in the comments of this post. After all, who knows what you want to read better than YOU do? Please include the title and the author if you can. It makes the books much easier for me to find!
The internet is a wonderful thing, my friends.
