It’s the midst of summer and you say you’ve already finished your list of summer reads? Don’t worry – RUSA to the rescue with some great titles selected by our members of the CODES Notable Books Council and The Reading List! Selected members were interviewed at the Book and Media Awards reception in January 2011 about some of their favorite titles, which also just happen to make great summer reading. The videos are under 60 seconds and give viewers the quick scoop about why they should read these books. So add to your summer reading by taking a look at the video interviews here: http://vimeo.com/user6266015/videos.
A big thanks to our tireless Notable Books Council and Reading List members for the terrific work they did selecting and identifying some of the most notable books of the year.
