About meI am an English teacher living in the suburbs north of New York City.

About my libraryThese books are appropriate for students in middle school and high school. I try to write reviews that will help you find books you will enjoy, so I am careful not to give away too much of the story.

Glad you liked the idea. I don't need any credit for the idea. Good luck.
I read in your post that you are looking for ways to use LT as a teacher! Do you do anything now? How about having the kids come up with a challenge and start a group that records their reviews and have a discussion about the book? You could also have them read a certain number of reviews and discuss why they would choose a book or not based on the review. That is all I can think of off the top of my head! Good luck.
