And now for a little bit about me...

I'm Sara and I work as an elementary school library teacher. I also work in the children's room at a public library. I love all books, but I have a special fondness for children's and YA literature. I graduate from Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) in May of 2014.

This blog is a place where I keep fun and interesting book related videos and links as well as lists. These lists are made for fun and to help me out when someone asks for a book suggestion. Feel free to let me know if you have a suggestion of a book that I should add to one of my lists.

Consider all lists under construction. I'll be adding to them as I find new books. Most of the books listed here will be for children. If a book is for a more mature audience I will make note of that fact.
