It's that time of year again! Let's get reading! Even though reading should be a part of your every day routine, now is the time to stock up on some new books; mainly, the Abraham Lincoln Book Award Nominees.
Here you can find the current list. These books are the books that are considered great reads for teens and young adults. There are many programs through schools and librarys that promote reading these books. Leyden, for example, hosts pizza parties for students who read four or more books.
Many schools or libraries also host blogs or discussions about the books. Marian Catholic High School is one of these schools who creates a yearly blog about the current Abe Readers.
Another place to check out some cool conversations and questions about books is the bookbattle. Here, readers can answer questions about their favorite books. Get together with a group of friends who have all read the same book (or others) and have a book party to quiz each other and share your ideas about the book.
While you're indulging in you brain candy, be sure to check out the Leyden Libraries blog, which can give you cornacopias of information about Abraham Lincoln Book Awards 2010.
