Our teen book spotlight this week is on books that are some of my all time favorite authors!!! These are the authors that as soon as they have a new book out, it is an immediate must read and I already know that I am going to be reading till 3:00 in the morning (we have all been there before), may leave me speechless and filled with emotions (including some crying on the couch), wanting to talk about it with someone instantly, and then telling everyone else they have to read it! There is…
Our teen book spotlight this week is focused on books that are stand alone fantasy titles! Let’s get real here for a second--there is something to be said when you find an amazing series that you just cannot put down, but not everyone has time for a series or sometimes you just want a book that has a beginning, middle, and end all within a front and back cover. That’s why we are taking a look at some fantasy titles that are not part of a series; they are stand alones novels for when…
Our teen book spotlight this week is on YA books about World War II (some fiction and nonfiction)! There are so many to choose from and it is amazing to read about the various events (ones that are well known and others not so much) through different viewpoints. The titles featured in this week’s book talk (and listed below) are titles that are new to us at the Handley Regional Library System over the past couple of months. These books and more can be found by searching the…
With it being Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th-October 15th), our teen book spotlight this week is on books that are authored by Latino and Latina authors!!! These books are amazing and so many of these authors have written more than just the titles that are being featured--so if you like this one there are others you can read as well. Most of the titles featured are standalones so if you want a book that has a beginning, middle, and end these may be a perfect choice! …
Our teen book spotlight this week is focused on books that have recently been added to our collection meaning they are new!!!! New books are the best; they have a new book smell and there is just something about being one of the first people to read it.

These books and more can be…
Our middle grade book spotlight this week is on books that are some of my all time favorites!!! These are the books that kept me reading till 3:00 in the morning, left me speechless and filled with emotions (including some crying on the couch), wanting to talk about it with someone instantly, and then telling everyone else they have to read it!

We have just started the new year and it is now time to start setting those goals and thinking about what we want to accomplish in 2023. If you have a goal to read more books or even just to finish one, then this week’s middle grade book spotlight is perfect to help you jumpstart that mission.

Our teen book spotlight this week is focused on books that have Orange and Black covers to help get us in the Halloween spirit!!! Let’s be real here for a minute because we all judge and choose a book on the front cover (most of the time) even though we are told not to do so, but that can honestly lead us to read some books that we would not have picked up otherwise. Since we are choosing these books based on their front covers, then we have an amazing selection that are all…
