Since I work as a teen librarian, I often check out books of dubious entertainment value because I want to stay stay up-to-date with what&#8217;s popular in teen literature. This is not always the best starting point for reading a book: there&#8217;s so [...]]]></description>

(Which one usually depends on how expensive the innovation in question is, as I am also quite cheap.)

		<description><![CDATA[Swing by the official Tor blogs when you get a chance, because novelist Jo Walton has been writing a series of posts on Lois McMaster Bujold&#8217;s Vorkosigan series. The post on Memory is especially worth reading. It really expresses a lot of my own feelings toward that book. An excerpt:
Memory (1998) is in my opinion [...]]]></description>

I was an enthusiastic reader as a child, but I still managed to miss out on a lot of excellent children&#8217;s books when I was in their actual target age group. Fortunately, I&#8217;ve never been of the opinion that books for young people are only for young people, so I&#8217;ve kept reading them even as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Like many precocious readers, I began reading adult fiction long before I was actually in its target audience. This is partly because I grew up surrounded by my mother&#8217;s book collection, and it was only natural for me to pick up and attempt to read the ones that she liked best. I didn&#8217;t get my [...]]]></description>
