You can get recommendations for your next book to read from just about anywhere.
Have you ever recommended a book to someone? If they read it how did you feel about it?
My guess, you really liked having someone read a book you said they should read.
What do you do if you don't like the recommendation they gave you?
I haven't been shy about where I get my book recommendations. My students, fellow teachers, husband, family, Amazon account, library, and my children have all offered me suggestions. I've also gotten suggestions from a neighboring family at a campground while on vacation. I wouldn't have discovered The Penderwicks series if it hadn't been for them. I have also found my next read by just reading titles on a bookshelf, hearing about hit movies based on books, or looking for titles that I've heard about but haven't taken the time to read yet.
I know how excited I get when someone is reading a book I recommended. I see the look in my daughter's eyes when she sees me reading one of her recommendations. I notice the smile when I read a book that a student recommends and talk to them about it.
Isn't it funny, one of the best things about reading books, is the sharing and discussing. People get excited about books.
Spread the excitement, read a book and share a book.
