Stephanie Vande Kraats's List: library

A site about books for adult readers that provides links to author interviews, reviews, features, book world gossip, awards, bestsellers, what's new (and not) in hardcover and paperback, and author bibliographies. Links to reading group guides, such as online book clubs, are also available. This site is part of the large Book Report Network which has now launched GraphicNovelReporter.com which tells you how popular graphic novels have become. Book Report Network also features TeenReads, KidsReads, ReadingGroupGuides, etc.

Author Interviews and reading lists of books we know that you'll love all are part of Teenreads.com along with contests, question of the month and a look at what other teens are reading.

The site gets weekly updates and tries to maintain currency and has been developed with public library patrons in mind. You can look at their selection criteria to find out how the librarian indexers select sites for inclusion.
