Kate Morton's "The Forgotten Garden" was one, "The Book Thief," and "The Hunger Games" (because I read it 2 years before it was cool). It's definitely an experience to read something you know NOTHING about. In the case of those three books, it ended up being a good thing, and I really enjoyed all of them. I'm actually kind of annoyed that "The Book Thief" is mainstream now and everyone knows who the narrator is. I think you lose something by going into it knowing that, but that's a post for another day. Anyway, very cool idea!The Lady Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453607710629077945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022094815105915714.post-6022220087103195842014-02-11T07:22:37.689-07:002014-02-11T07:22:37.689-07:00The base library does this too!

At a public school library (particularly in the south), you have to be super careful about what kind of books go home with certain kids. I'd end up spending ALL of my time trying to make sure none of the books had any bad language or sex scenes or anti-religious thoughts. <br /><br />Maybe one day though!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055889629743484940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022094815105915714.post-11055277198564562272014-02-10T07:48:22.538-07:002014-02-10T07:48:22.538-07:00That is such a cute idea - I love it!That is such a cute idea - I love it!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134698963524723006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022094815105915714.post-50252976696145630192014-02-10T05:58:32.410-07:002014-02-10T05:58:32.410-07:00I'm pretty sure none of the libraries here do ...I'm pretty sure none of the libraries here do this, but they should.
