Some of you may have noticed the blog roll on the sidebar of our blog page. There I've linked to a few blogs that I've followed over the years and that I trust for quality recommendations and discussions about YA books.
Tonight I just checked out the newest link to librarian Betsy Bird's blog (we read her in the article about Blogging the Kidlitosphere earlier this semester) and found out that Little, Brown Books for Young Readers has begun rolling out its spring list of new titles.
If you go to Betsy's blog post, you'll find that LBBYR School and Library Marketing Director Victoria Stapleton (she's wonderful, and she's known at NCTE for wearing funky shoes) will send an ARC (advance reader copy) of any of the books featured on their spring list to anyone who requests it. There's an opportunity for those of you trying to build classroom libraries and get your hands on soon-to-be-released titles! So get to Betsy's blog post ASAP and send Victoria your ARC requests!

ReplyDeleteI hope it works!
Although you won't get any YA books...another way to get free books is called Project Gutenberg
