11th grade booktalks + book tastings all day ⤵️
We covered some strategies for finding interesting books, from browsing displays to finding favorite authors and word of mouth recommendations. The conversations over the books were priceless!

Giving booktalks is always so satisfying w/ the instant gratification of students checking out what's been highlighted. From high fantasy to interactive histories to grounded realistic we have something for every reader. @APSLibrarians @BoykinBryan @wmspta2017 #wmsreads @WMS_ELA

A8:
Sustenance of joy habits:

Anytime I’m getting low, I just amp up my animated Storytimes and Booktalks to see the kid joy and enthusiasm—then, make sure the team-teaching projects coming up next month, next term are something to get me intrigued and creative.

One of my good friends Rick van der Klooster is releasing his book "Between the Mountain and the River" this Saturday, and will be talking about it at the Fotodok Booktalks on Monday! Be there! Am extremely proud of him!
Rick van der Klooster and his photo book “Between the Mountain and the River” will also be part of FOTODOK BOOK TALKS #42!

His work explores nature as a place of beauty, mystery, and deep symbolism.

Ich überlege ob ich für Tiktoks nicht mit einer KI-Stimme arbeiten soll. Die ganzen Booktalks kommen super an und aufgrund meiner Sprachbehinderung sind "Gespräche" nicht machbar.

Habt ihr Tipps für eine GUTE KI-Stimme? 🤔

Before and after I did #Troybery2025 booktalks all day today! Shelves are empty. Lots of amazing books in students’ hands!

sometimes i ask for book review sources & how they keep up with library news. i've asked for booktalks/storytimes before and noted how current their choices are (someone chose a 20 yo NF!).

Having described the Temeraire books as "Pride and Prejudice and Dragons" one too many times, I am now writing the crossover in my head.

(More correctly, it is Master and Commander and Dragons, but we go for broad recognition in booktalks.)

Booktalks should be full of passion and enthusiasm, giving main character energy. Spoiler alert for Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.

Yeah, absolutely! And then there’s that anxiety after the question that your shelves aren’t looking that good( With all these booktalks etc. we started to forget that books are there to be read and not just beautifully arranged according to some system.

A2: I have taught K-12 so I am thinking for each....

ES: If possible make it interactive and visual

MS: Making it social and utilizizing pop culture references

HS: Real-world issues, interactive - get them moving, fast-paced, and visually engaging books.

A5: I use different types of booktalks depending on the goal! One of my favorites is gamified & non-linear, letting students choose their own path. Voice & choice make booktalks more engaging, and recording them helps share even more titles. #TLSkyChat

This brilliant take down of David Brooks’ pathetic critique of current lit fiction is a must see for every reader (just actually READ THE BOOKS, David) & librarians will also love the master class in delivering perfect booktalks.

It’s Friday, and if you haven’t read this towering stack of great literature, it’s new to you! This week, Ann mixes it up a bit and responds to an op-ed by David Brooks in the NYT. Is the novel really dead? Read the article, watch Ann’s take, and let us know what you think.

Does anyone use AI to create Book Talks for students? Any tips? #middlegrade #booktalks #edtech #schoolai #libsky #librarian

gross I do not want to do booktalks with Benny. I am a professional. I can booktalk books myself. AI is garage. Not cool beanstack.
