[LM_NET] TAR: Book Recommendation Sites

[Sarah Loch <sloch@MID-DEL.NET>]

Good morning, all,
 
I've been working on my "fun summer reads" web page lately, and I would like to 
offer my students recommendations from more than just myself and the other students 
at the school. I've currently linked to ReadKiddoRead, Guys Read, A Book and a Hug, 
Teen Reads, and JacketFlap. Are there other sites that contain themed lists of 
books, recommended reads, etc., that would be good for middle school level 
students? 
 
Thanks in advance!

"It is more than ironic that school districts are willing to spend hundreds of 
thousands of dollars on reading programs and staff development which have had 
limited success in boosting test scores, but are unwilling to invest in school 
library programs that show such direct correlations to student success," researcher 
Douglas Achterman wrote in a 2008 study of California school libraries.
