Link Du Jour: A New Home for Bookends
All readers of books (especially those YA-ophiles) take notice. The outstanding Bookends blog (which I posted about back in October) has a new home at Booklist. It was a smart move for Booklist – Cindy Dobrez and Lynn Rutan (both former Printz chairs) have a masterful knowledge of teen literature. They even dip down into the middle grade and picture book territory occasionally with their signature tag-team reviews. Click the image below to head on over:

Thanks, Scope Notes, for the plug. Now that we are blogging as Booklist’s Youth blog you’ll definitely be seeing more titles in the younger age ranges in the mix. I’m thrilled to have a mandate to read more picture books since my daughters are high school students now. In fact, we’ll be unveiling a new feature very soon, using Lynn’s astute focus group, her 5-year-old grandsons. Stay tuned.
