The name "Joni Richards Bodart" is synonymous with "Booktalks"

What is a BOOKTALK?

It's the most effective way to convince people to read for pleasure!

It is a dramatic introduction to
a book, a teaser,
a come-on, a commercial for a book that highlights the most exciting
parts of it.

It's not a book report or a book review, because it doesn't tell everything about the book or evaluate it.

It's a glimpse into a scene, a character or two, or a plot line that reveals just enough to convince the listener to pick up the book and give it a try.

Librarians and teachers use Booktalks to convince audiences of all ages that reading is fun,
and that books can open up new worlds,
new ideas, and new opportunities!

A great booktalker can convince anyone to read!

Tori's post & more...

I just had to tell you how fabulous your new book, "Radical Reads" is. I just received it in the mail today and I am already set with a brand new slew of books to introduce tomorrow at school. I am especially excited about the info for "Give a Boy a Gun."
I nominated that book for a reading list in
Minnesota and have caught some flack about it.
I think I have defended the book pretty well,
but your section on it gave me even
more ideas to consider.
Thank you for this wonderful resource,
Tori

I loved this book. I highly recommend it. I am getting a copy for my 15 year old nephew
with the request that he pass it around to his friends too.

I absolutely agree. It is a wonderful resource and I am going to
mention it when I do my YA readers' advisory program for my library
staff.

Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise for Joni Bodart's Radical Reads.
Even if I'm not on the front lines in a library, I use it all the time as a
reference for my own writing and speech-making. It's multiple indexes are
especially helpful.
