The County Library discussion

I didn't get a chance to put out the bookclub poll this time, so I made an executive decision and chose The Ring. This is a great teen novel by SLCLS librarian Bobbie Pyron, and maybe we can get her to make a few comments. She actually has a newer book out as well, so check out A Dog's Way Home too!

Hi All!
I'm Bobbie, the author of The Ring! I'm thrilled you'll be reading my book soon. I look forward to some great discussion on bullying, stereotypes, boxing, and being true to yourself. I'll answer any questions you might have :)

So today we officially start reading THE RING! Ready! Set! Go!

Um is anyone up for reading 2 books in one month for the teen online discussions? I have a lot more time (no school) and I'm through The Ring already.

Hi Katie! Bobbie here, author of The Ring. Hope you enjoyed it! If you go on my website, you can actually see a trailer for the book. I'm also a librarian at the Holladay library. What kinds of books do you like to read? I'd be happy to pass along some suggestions. I love teen fiction!

I really liked this book. It accurately conveys that teenage feeling of angst and the frustration that the adults feel. I liked the characters and cared about what happened to them.

Thanks Suzanne! I'm glad you cared about the characters. That's what authors strive for. BTW, I bet some of you don't know that women's boxing will,for the first time ever, be an official sport at the next Summer Olympics!

So what's the next book??
