While trying to find something interesting for this week's Thirsty Thursday link, I came across two sites that I wanted to share with you:
readersadvisory.org states that it is... "A place to test and share ideas, projects, notes, etc. For librarians who provide RA services" - A deceivingly simple home page is merely a facade for the amounts of information lurking within. Click on the "Web 2.0" link and you'll find blogs, wikis and social sites regarding readers advisory. The "RA Links" and "RA Professional Development" lead to dozens of websites; some for the general public, the other written for the librarian. Mucho RA stuffo!
overbooked.org is the other site and it also is filled with Readers Advisory information, but mostly in the form of book lists. The site says it is a "resource for readers - providing timely information about fiction (all genres) and readable nonfiction." I'm not sure what "unreadable nonfiction" is exactly, but they have the readable kind. I'm sure some of you have experienced "unreadable fiction" but that's another post! Anyway, lots of good book lists there and some RA resources too!
Alla Salute!

Hmmm. I love the unreadable category. I could list several popular authors who have dialogue that sounds like it was dictated by their pet fish.
Good links to RA websites--thanks. Alice
