So what started as my school library blog is now morphing into my book review blog. I have always reviewed the books I read, but typically just leave them on Goodreads. After a hiatus as a stay at home mom, I went back to work part-time last year as a middle school librarian. Then this summer we moved across country. So I am back to being a stay at home mom for the time being, until I can find a school library job in our new home just outside Seattle. In the meantime, I decided to add my reviews to my blog.

I have always written my reviews very honestly, but realize my audience may not always be clear. So for from now on, I will be giving a two part rating. One for the intended audience and one for adults. I for one have always enjoyed the books written for children and young adults and am not afraid to admit it. It is one of the things I love most - discussing a great book with my students/kids/other adults!!  But for all those adults/new adults out there that also love reading the books just for the love of them, I will give a rating as well. Sometimes, I read a book that I don't particularly enjoy but know kids will love/ and vice versa, so my new rating system should reflect that. So I am going back to the books I have read since July and adding their reviews here with the new rating system. 

Hope you find it helpful!
