What I decided to do is to catalog the teen fiction that I've read, since that is my biggest readers' advisory weakness. I may or may not keep it going- time will tell. Anyone notice how depressing much teenage fiction is? "Uplifting" is one of my library thing tags, but I haven't used it yet. The book on the right is about the life-long frienship of two girls in the context of the Spanish Inquistion. The teenage angst themes portrayed are love, betrayal, romance, loyalty, and burning people alive (okay, maybe that last one isn't a common teenage anxiety).

ReplyDeleteI used to do that in a card file for kids' books, way back when ...
