Genrefluent is your headquarters for information about Readers' Advisory and genre fiction for adults and teens.

Here you will find reviews on novels in a variety of genres including, crime, science fiction, adventure, thrillers, romance, fantasy, horror, paranormal, historical fiction, westerns, and romance.

Check out the widgets below and at the right for what I've been reading and what I have to say about the books.

Click on the teen page for reviews written by teens of current novels . There you will also find links for teen reviews of books nominated for YALSA selected lists. The Teen Top Ten nominees have been posted. See teen comments on the books that made the nomination list.

Don't forget to read the free Reader's Advisor Online Blog to keep up with what reader's advisors will want to know every week. And, if your library hasn't tried one of the free trials of Reader's Advisor Online, please do. I think it is the best electronic RA tool in existance. I particularly love how well it works for fiction reference which is often one of the steps required when performing reader's advisory.

Check out Good Reads to see some of my other recent reads. Lots and lots of wonderful books have been coming my way lately so expect to see more here in the next few weeks.

I have a lot of workshops and programs coming up so that is consuming a lot of my time. I hope to see some of you on my trips to Denver, Atlanta, and Toronto.

Remember there is a search box at the bottom of this page. If you click on Genrefluent it will search this site. Check for reviews and teen comments on your favorite books or for suggestions of good reads.

My new book, Fluent in Fantasy: The Next Generation (co-written with fantasy diva Bonnie Kunzel) came out in January.

Some of the reviews written by "my" teens and some of my own reviews are included in The Ultimate Teen Book Guide. It's pretty thrilling to be in a book with so many of my heroes.

Happy reading.
