English Matters (or does it?)

Welcome to a new blog that features book reviews on new and upcoming releases.   We are librarians excited about reading, and we enjoy getting people excited about reading by making available helpful reading ideas for the wayward readers.  Since things are still being set up, the recommendation is a little older, but was released within the last 10 years, Feed by M.T. Anderson.

Released in 2002, and winner of the 2003 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction  and 2003 Golden Duck Awards' Hal Clement Award for Young Adults, Feed is an eerie tale of science fiction that could serve as a cautionary tale of a future in which humanity is entirely dependent on interface technology (i.e. smart phones, facebook, etc) except instead of having hand-held devices or tablets, the hardware in installed directly into a persons brain.  Fans of dystopian science fiction and young adult fiction will find this novel a quick and exciting read.

Next on the list to review: Death Watch: Book 1 in The Undertaken Trilogy

Stay tuned, and keep reading!!
