Resource Thursdays: Eva’s Book Addiction

One of the things that I love the most about the world of books and writing is that there are so many people out there who are so happy to share their knowledge and their perspective.  One of the reasons I started the Resource Thursdays section of my blog is to help spread some of the love as well.  So many people have given to the writing community, and I’d like to help give back.  Paying it forward, I guess.

Anyway, I was in the bookstore the other day and one of the cashiers was so kind as to point me in the direction of Eva’s Book Addiction.  This blog is written by a Los Angeles-based (yay!) children’s librarian (double yay!), and it’s filled with all sorts of goodness.  In addition to tons of book reviews, the blog talks about library programs and the importance of literacy.  Eva weighs in on different debates in the children’s book world (for example: is there such thing as a bad for you children’s book?) and she makes announcements about different book awards.  I’ve been reading tons of agent and editor blogs lately, so it’s nice to hear from someone on the other end of things.  After all, a little balance is always a good thing.  Reading the blog also reminds me that I should be going to the library more than I do.  It’s a lot harder now that I don’t work across the parking lot from a library and oh how I love to own books…
