I just read [book:Shadowhouse Fall|340..."Awesome! I (Angie) really enjoyed the first in the Shadowshaper series, and I was so impressed when I found out he'd been an EMT! I'll have to read the next in the series!

If you want to discuss book plans you have for 2018, or want to introduce yourself, or to discuss books and libraries in general - this is the place!

(you can substitute another book if you would prefer a genre other than YA - but if you haven't read a YA book in a while, browse around for a while to see all the possibilities)

libraries are all about teamwork; this can be in a library or anywhere else that is interesting to you

feel free to be broad in how you interpret this one

This one was pretty obvious...libraries are the greatest!

any kind of bookstore is fine here, and any level of work is appropriate

we like to read books; find a main character who also likes to read books

there are all kinds of books shared in movies and TV shows; just pick something that sounds interesting to you

we all have a TBR pile; pick out something sitting on yours for too long and start enjoying it

the letters can be anywhere, in any combination of the words in the title

(gold star awarded if you can find someone with both your first and last names!)

again, fiction or nonfiction would be appropriate

a book already a movie; or one that will be a movie soon

we like happiness at CMLE - find some books to share that with us

"I'm looking for a book; it's blue - do you know it?" is one of the most common Reader's Advisory questions! Let's make this a reality in this prompt and find some great blue books!

this can also be fiction or nonfiction

if you have been to all 50 states in the US, choose a Canadian province

any country you have dreamed of visiting is appropriate here

talk to your library people to get some good ideas! (email us at CMLE if you are really stumped for a suggestion!)
