BOOKS

August 25, 2011

Given that I am an English teacher by trade and book nerd by birth, it makes sense that I am asked routinely for reading recommendations, both for adults and young adults.  I am honored to be asked because I love few things more than talking about, sharing, and reading books!  I’ll save you my soapbox speech about how beneficial reading is for all of us, how it is one of the foremost ways children learn empathy, how studies show…

Of course, if you made it to this page, I doubt I need to give you the stump speech; you could probably do it better yourself.  So, fellow bibliophile, here are my humble book lists for young adults and book lists for adults, which I hope may be of some use.  They are subjective and incomplete, so please don’t hesitate to add your suggestions in the comments, or email me if you think there’s a book I ought to check out!  {bluejeangourmet (at) gmail (dot) com}
