READ ME NOW!

Aren't you just a little bit curious about this blog? Well, come on in and sit for a spell!

Okay, now that I have your attention, I would like to take this opportunity to say: READ MEDIA REVIEWS! Reading blogs in Media Reviews is like taking a break from your day. You get to read about children's books, adult books (but not TOO adult), children's videos and television programming, music, and websites. I have made it a personal goal to try and get more Families.com members to read from Media Reviews. Here I am reaching out to you, the reader. What can Tristi and I do to make Media Reviews more member-friendly?

What do you want to read about in Media Reviews? What are the websites that you want us to research? Are there any books that you want us to read and report on for you? Do you want to know our personal recommendations on books and music? Please ask! You can send me a PM anytime, or please leave a comment after you read one of our articles. I have written in the forum before asking for suggestions, but apparently, not many people read those either.

I wrote about the Caldecott Medal winners at the suggestion of another blogger (in the forum) and I truly enjoyed it. But did you as a reader enjoy those articles? I am getting ready to start a series about the Newbery Medal winners, and I am totally stoked. But will you as a reader read those blogs and enjoy them? Help me out here. I am just your humble Media Reviews blogger looking for ideas that will bring new readers to us and keep the current readers interested.

We here at Media Reviews need to know what makes our readers' minds tick. Tristi and I are working together to help keep things interesting and fresh, but obviously we are not afraid to ask for help when we need it. So please, take the time to think of some ideas and let us know.

Thank you for reading a Media Reviews blog and have a nice day. :-)

Hi Jamie - I'm really looking forward to the Newberry series. Kids books are a huge interest of mine - from a bibliotherapeutic point of view. I like to keep up with the trends and know what children find motivating, interesting and stimulating. I would also love to see interviews with authors - what their journey has been like, why they write in their genre, how they got their lucky publishing break, etc. Good luck with it all.

Megan, you must have been reading my mind!! :) I'm getting ready to start a new series of blogs about authors, where they've come from, why they write what they do, etc. Keep your eyes peeled!
