Truth be told, I didn't finish reading this. I acquired it to see whether I wanted to read these books, but it is truly targeted at educators. I don't think I want to read the books, but if you do and if you want to discuss what's in them with others, this is a very thorough guide.

I am a book nerd and I have never heard of most of these. Time to get on the research train...
ReplyDeleteThe Ruth Valley Missing has both an intriguing title and cover. I'm already thinking about checking it out. Stieg Larsson pulled me into the "Girl..." series. I've read them and seen the movies in their original versions, and one American version of the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. Nothing against the actors in our version, but I actually preferred the original. The actors and actresses look like people we'd see in those roles in everyday life. I wonder why Hollywood thinks we want all of our movie characters so polished? Sometimes it's the grittiness of their appearance that fleshes out their personalities.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to start a book page Lee. You have a nice eclectic mix here.
