Printables #1 | YA Recommendation Bookmarks, Vol. 1


So, the other day, I decided to make some book rec bookmarks for the teens in my library. Since I put them up on Tumblr yesterday, they've gotten more than 400 notes, and I decided they would be better suited here because it takes up less room on dashes.

I set these to gray-scale and printed them on colored cardstock, for better stability. I'm not laminating them or anything because I intend to make more, different ones, when these run out.

I'm making these available for use, as long as they're used for non-profit, as I am. If you don't want to use the pictures here, email or PM me, and I'll send you the Publisher file. And please don't remove my watermark. I tried to make it inconspicuous

Also, I'd love it if you could send me your thoughts on how they worked in your community. I'd love to feature them sometimes. Pictures are welcome!

RBD Review #13 | The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

Book info:
The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle #1) by Maggie Stiefvater | 408 pages. Published 2012 | Teen Fantasy, Mystery, Paranormal

Summary:
  • First and foremost I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE BOOK JACKET SUMMARY. Read the review if you’re interested in knowing why. 
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them--until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her.

His name is Gansey, a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can't entirely explain. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul whose emotions range from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She doesn't believe in true love, and never thought this would be a problem. But as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she's not so sure anymore (courtesy of Goodreads).

My thoughts:
