Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

Looking for the Next Hunger Games? Wool By Hugh Howey

We here at The Things You Can Read are hearing all kinds of buzz about a not-so-new dystopian series. The series has been on the QT because it originally was not published by one of the big publishing houses.. In fact originally it was self published. Why then are we hearing about it? Well, the reason for all this chatter has a lot to do with the rumor that 20th Century Fox has bought the movie rights to this series...Looks like this is a case where someone self published and things worked out for them. Some are even saying this is the new Hunger Games. Check out Wool-Omnibus Edition and let us know what you think.
