Reading for all seasons

Hello, Not many posts lately, as I’ve been busy preparing awards to be presented at ITC convention (Baltimore). If you are in the northern hemisphere you will be in summer mode, with days by the pool or the beach, and holidays – plenty of relaxed time for reading. If, on the other hand, you live in the southern hemisphere with me, you will be snuggling by the fire in a comfortable chair with a good book. Either way, it seems, reading accompanies any season. Looking for some good reads? Here are some websites that will help. 1. Beach Bag of Books. Brought to us by Bookreporter.com. Their comment? “It wouldn't be summer without sun, surf and sizzling reading. You supply the beach chair and the sunblock, and we'll provide the fantastic fiction.” Each week they publish a fiction selection. There are reviews, author biographies, interviews, and book excerpts. 2. Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh: Adult Summer Reading Book Lists You can choose from Renaissance, Medieval, Best Beach Reads, For Mystery lovers, and Mostly for guys. While you’re there you can use their Ask their Librarian. 3 National Public Radio Choices from personalities involved in this medium, reviewers and listeners. Includes reviews, excerpts and alternatives for children. 4. From the Guardian Unlimited Reviews and recommendations from authors. Fiction and non-fiction. Airport books, cookbooks, and selections. Books for children and teenagers as well as genre lists. The members of your local ITC club would love to hear a review of the book you choose. Choose an ITC club near you.
