First Read of the Month for 2013

Well, it is December 31st, 2012 and the world has yet to end, so it is important that I continue reading and writing.  I think the best way to start off the new year is with an author that I have grown to really enjoy during the past few years, John Green.  I have read two of his popular titles: my April 2011 Read of the Month Looking for Alaska and my my March 2012 Read of the Month The Fault in Our Stars.  I loved both of these books and have grown to really enjoy Green's tweets and videos.

I decided to give one of Green's older books a try, Paper Towns.  It is Green's third novel and was published in October of 2008.  Some of my library students have presented on this title and it always has sounded like a good read.  Now that I have read two of Green's works, I want to go back and give this title a try.

Another John Green Book for a Read of the Month, Can't Go Wrong With This

This sounds like another great, teenager-character led novel.  I look forward to reading this New York Times Bestseller to kick off my reading for 2013.  Happy New Year to all of my friends and visitors.  I hope 2013 is a great year of reading and writing for you!
