Author, Louis Sachar's review of Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger:
I must have read each of the Nine Stories nine times. I first read them 30 years ago in high school, and I reread one or another whenever I feel the need to reconnect myself to what it was that inspired me to write.

Kate from Cornelius Library is a voracious reader and frequent Reader’s Club reviewer. She has reviewed several young adult novels. Here are her thoughts on reading and writing book reviews:
I like to read a wide variety of books, especially non-fiction and fantasy. Some of my favorite authors include Patricia McKilllip, Sharon Shinn, Mary Stewart, Hilary McKay, and Ursula Le Guin. Recently I have read several non-fiction accounts of hiking the Appalachian Trail, because I've been thinking about trying it. The majority of the books that I've reviewed for Reader's Club are for teens because that's what my focus is.’’
Thanks Kate!
