Once again, we’d like to report on what we’ve been up to!  (While we’re hoping many of you followed us over to Library Journal last fall, we suspect some folks might be coming across our site for the first time, or, didn’t make the switch.  Take a look at what we’ve been getting up to over there…)

We crushed on “White Readers, Meet Black Authors”; Smart Bitches, Trashy Books; and KCRW’s Bookworm.

Karen told you why you should appreciate Straight Man; and found readalikes for the Stephanie Plum series, memoirs, and blogged about some recent African-American books.

While Rebecca urged you to read Lonely Places and The Storyteller; and gave you some Italian Valentines and readalikes for The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

Come on over and keep track of us over at Library Journal! You can easily subscribe to the feed at: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ShelfRenewalBlog

We’re also keeping very busy this month with non-blog stuff as well:
We’re teaming up on a program for northern Illinois’ ARRT, (come see us if you’re local!  You’ll love us!),  and Rebecca will be presenting her awesome Feel the Need… to Weed! program for at the Illinois State Library’s On the Front Lines conference (this would be a great one for your library’s next staff development day!) , and “Books: The Top 5 of the Top 5″ program at PLA 2010 in Portland (chosen for the Virtual Conference, as well!).

So, keep track of us here, but don’t forget about the blog at LJ… see you there!

Karen and Rebecca
