Great Links

I've added a new feature to the blog - Great Links. It's a list of websites that I really like and want to share with you.

Reading Rants is book review website for Teens. The librarian who created this site was one of my professors at Queens College. Her class was awesome and we read great books.

The second site I added is No Flying, No Tights. It has reviews of graphic novels.

Let me know if there are any sites you think are worth sharing.
