About my libraryThis is the library I'm preparing for my classroom (once I'm certified in MA). I'm hoping to teach kindergarten to second grade, and the libary reflects that, although I admit that many of the older grade books were either books I owned growing up, or were really pleasure reads that I only use my class library as an excuse to buy.

I sent a reply to you but I may have messed it up... It looks like my reply was posted to my profile page. I'm still getting used to LibraryThing. In any regard, I'm excited about your participation in the book project.

I feel very strongly that reviews should be something useful. My reviews are intended to be thorough enough that when I need books for school (like the astronomy unit we're doing now or because a student's reading it and wants to talk about it), I can click on the reviews of the books with relevant tags and get a quick refresher on the book without pulling it out again. It's a major pet peeve when someone posts a review that says that they don't remember the book but think maybe it was good. That says a few things to me: 1. You wasted my time because I bothered to read your review, 2. You probably shouldn't even have this book in your library anymore if you care so little for it- why not donate it?, 3. You wasted your time writing the review, and 4. You don't care about writing decent, useful reviews, you just want to review everything or have the most reviews or something. Yuck. I don't mind the occational review like "Unbelieable. Amazing." or something like that that tends to come up for 1984, because it actually says something (of course if all your reviews are like that, it says more about you than your reviews...) Part of the reason that my personal library is much shorter on reviews is that I want to revisit the books in a meaningful way before I review them. I should mention that there are some reviewers who blow me away, like bluetyson and burnit99, who write long, meaningful reviews constantly and consistantly. I'm always especially curious to see what letter burnit99's on because s/he has been adding books alphabetically, so I've been betting with myself about how many books are in that library.
So anyway, if you're going to write reviews, don't review a book that you can't say a meaningful sentence about. Also, you might notice that the number of books in my library and that I've reviewed are generally the same- that's because I read each book that goes into my library, and then I write a review after I read it. Reviews take me a long time for longer books (and some of the longest are nonfiction picture books). :} I'm probably going to just review the chapter books that I've got piled up that I read as a child without rereading them (as long as I can remember them well enough to write a real review, like I said, it's got to be useful for me), because otherwise I might not have time to have everything read and ready for my classroom next year. Otherwise, when you read a review I've written, I've almost always read the book the day of the review (except the first 300 or so, which I had reviewed on my own computer the day I read them, but didn't review the day they were added to Live Journal)- that's my commitment. Anyway, if you're bothering to read this, I hope you're enjoying looking at my library and reading my reviews!
