"Similar to Facebook, you must be 13 or older to sign up for Goodreads, which helps to explain why it's a useful tool for recommending books to young adults. It's also a great way to stay in touch during the summer, because students can see what their librarians or teachers are reading. And since kids can write reviews for the site, it also offers them opportunities to offer an in-depth analysis of the titles they've read."

Podcast interview with author & cognitive psychologist: Dan Willingham's new book was written primarily for those who are concerned about the best way to educate children. But it is also filled with fascinating theories (for separating the fluff from the good stuff ) that you just might be able to use in everyday life.

'Beginnings are important. They are your fishing lure, your bling, your spider's web, your black hole from which there is no return until series end. It is what a new reader will judge you on, an editor will judge you on, an agent will judge you on. Frankly anyone who can read, and is looking at your book will judge you on it. No pressure.'
