Books & Lifelong Learning

I'm always reading, learning about history and life from the books I pick up. I'd like to use this blog as a place to post what I'm reading. I'll connect the books to courses I'm teaching and other topics I'm exploring. 

In addition to this blog, you can follow what I'm reading on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1557957-miriam

Next month, I'll be presenting a webinar on readers advisory, helping librarians recommend books for their readers. This is a good starting place for collection links, articles, and more on the topic. Here's a sneak peak at some of the sites I'm going to discuss:
Shelf Awareness http://www.shelf-awareness.com/#&panel1-3
Fantastic Fiction http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/
Goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/


You can always listen to book reviews and excerpts on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stream
And find great audiobooks to listen to at Audiofile Magazine http://www.audiofilemagazine.com/ along with Audiofile Magazine audiobook reviews on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/audiofilemagazine

Keep watching for more information about books and finding books for the curious and insatiable mental appetite.
