\"swirl<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For the 13th consecutive year, I posted a new, original book review based on letters A to Z over 26 days in April (with Sundays off, amen), except that darn Y (I promise I’ll post that book soon)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirteen years of A to Z.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifteen years of BooksYALove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 1,200 book recommendations, countless hours of reading and writing, paying for my own website… for what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you, the readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting the right book into the hands of the right reader at the right time – that’s why I’ve been a librarian for over four decades, whether “working for money” or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll keep reading books “beyond the bestsellers” for tweens, teens, and everybody (including the many, many adults who read YA<\/a>) , and I’ll keep writing about the best of them. But don’t look for 6 new recommendations a week – until next April!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s next on your “to be read” stack?
