It’s a Contest! Win a signed copy of They Suck, They Bite, They Eat, They Kill by Dr. Joni Richards Bodart
I had the pleasure earlier this year to review Dr. Joni Richard Bodart’s newest professional title They Suck, They Bite, They Eat, They Kill. This book is a must have for your professional shelf. Joni discusses why teens love monster lit, analyzes some popular titles in depth, and provides a monster bibliography (pun intended) of books to help with your RA needs. Want to know what book comes next in that series? It’s here. Have a teen that has read all your vampire books? Here’s a list to make sure and give you some fresh ideas to suggest. Have a parent or staff member questioning whether or not all those vampire books are healthy or safe for teen readers? Joni gives you some good discussion tools to explain why teens love to read monster lit to your administration, co-workers and teen parents.
The best part? Teen Librarian’s Toolbox and Dr. Joni Bodart herself are giving away a personally signed copy.
Learn more about Joni and her booktalking at her website, Thebooktalker1.com, or by reading my previous blog post on booktalking.
Good luck! And thanks for being a reader here at TLT.
