Baby, it's cold outside! Time to think warm and happy thoughts.
And nothing warms the cockles of my heart quite like seeing young readers in action. I'm sure you share this feeling. That's why I hope you will help support our newest project, www.bookurious.com.
Bookurious is a social network for teenage readers (13-17 years old). It's a place where they can talk about books, characters and authors, make recommendations to each other, and have fun. To help spread the word, you can become a fan on Facebook, or direct the avid teen readers in your life to www.bookurious.com.
Also, don't forget to check out our BooksBuzz.ca site to find out which books have "buzz" for Kids and Teens this Fall (you might find a book or two for yourself while you're there)!
