When Theta was Betty and had a very abusive husband, she would "stare at the ceiling" while she ...endured him. There are lots of body parts mentioned too. But having just listed to the audio book, the creation of the 1920's era is absolutely wonderful, and January LaVoy, a theatrical voice person, does such a fantastic job. My pique: Libba Bray introduces so many new characters and then just leaves them for the next books! I expected them to be in the grand finale! I'm even mad enough I might not read the next- ok, I lied about that last part.

What's the title? <br /><br />I am a new librarian, and it seems like we are preached to in library school and by ALA that not putting a YA book on the high school shelf is censorship. I read a lot of YA books, and I really struggle with this -- aside from the very graphic nature of some books, there is also pressure from administration to "not get them in trouble" with potentially controversial books. . . <br /><br />I am very interested in hearing you two talk about this. I definitely need guidance!Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789434133357280773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832922426014546415.post-8325095471013689792013-03-28T08:15:23.388-07:002013-03-28T08:15:23.388-07:00JH Trumble: we're hoping to have the book at T...JH Trumble: we're hoping to have the book at TLA...or at least some ARCs.

We're in the process of updating ...Hi Kristine,<br />We're in the process of updating the list (so it will be current for TLA). The books on this list are titles that we have, at some point in the past 10 years, included in our SITL booktalks. The titles that don't have a link to a review are books that were included in the program more than 5 years ago--we haven't mustered the energy to go back and retroactively review titles that we don't talk about much anymore!<br /> <br />There are also titles that WILL be on the list that aren't there yet. <br /> <br />These are titles we have read and reviewed in the past 6 months that need to be added to the list. We'll have the complete online list updated before we come to Texas. <br /> <br />We will also post the current (and much shorter) list of hot titles on the blog for readers to enjoy. It always happens that we read a fabulous new book or two while in transit to a presentation, so the "up-to-date booklist" is always a moving target!<br /> <br />Thanks for writing--we'll see you in Texas!<br /> <br />--Aarene and Mary Jo<br /><br />AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072169739345465380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832922426014546415.post-27612547191711333712013-03-27T13:34:00.996-07:002013-03-27T13:34:00.996-07:00I just discovered your site (thanks to your upcomi...I just discovered your site (thanks to your upcoming TLA appearance).
