Vintage Thoughts on Modern Thinking is a random idea that came to me as I was working on some of the new books that I am ordering for the Pop titles section in the library. Many of the books are what most readers would call 'bubble gum reading" or "easy reading". I have always thought that this was a good thing because so many people read to escape into something new and exciting or old and enchanting. Why anyone would want reading to be a chore or a challenge is beyond me on so many levels. This blog was created today by me for the sole purpose of discussing, talking, and just plain exploring the modern world of teen/adult fiction reading with a bit of excitement, joy and vintage nostalgia. Oh what I am reading now....that would be "50 Shades of Grey" and "Wool". I will let you know what I think on my next blog.
TA-DA and good day :)
reading as always been one of my favorite things and like you,i try to avoid the books that make it a chore. what i'm reading now? "Raising Kids For True Greatness" by Dr. Tim Kimmel. happy blogging!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like to read but finding the time lately has been the problem. Some books that I am hoping to read in the future are the "House of Night" series and Cassandra Clare books. The "House of Night" series is very popular at the college and it seems that almost all of the students who actually read fiction, know about this series. I like reading the young/adult books because of the connection to the students at work. Plus, I was introduced to the "Hunger Games" before they were actually popular..which was very cool. It's amazing to have students eager to be the first to read a book and to talk to me about it. I love this part of my job at YHC!
