I am a big believer in receiving book recommendations, and I know I am also guilty of this – when I read a fabulous book – I want to share it with everyone! But I have to remember that not everyone is going to receive a book in the same way that I have. As a Senior English teacher, and with our curriculum now operating in a new system in Queensland (ATAR as at 2019), we now have a prescribed text list. As English teachers, we no longer get to teach what we ‘want’ to teach, but rather are guided by the text list. Having said that, this allows us in the middle school to choose novels that we believe students will enjoy. One of the selection aids we consult is a monthly publication we subscribe to called The Book Curator. It reviews over 40 titles of books every single month. It provides more than one review for each book. One is from a publisher’s perspective, but there are also reviews provided by other Teacher Librarians. The reviews include a list of words used within the text that may be deemed as inappropriate (for eg. the word ‘shit’ is used 4 times throughout the novel), a reading age recommendation, an overview of the concepts (themes) and interviews with the authors. The Book Curator also includes information that Teacher Librarians may find interesting. It is a really useful selection aid!
