Books in the Read On Series series

Mystery and crime readers looking for great new reads, and librarians looking for fresh reading lists for patrons will love this new resource.

With more than 500 original descriptive annotations in over 70 thematic lists, this unique compilation makes it easy for adult readers and librarians to discover graphic novel reads that satisfy their interests and reading tastes. Graphic novels are not the junk food of the literature world.

Categorizing hundreds of popular biographies according to their primary appeal-character, story, setting, language, and mood-and organizing them into thematic lists, this guide will help readers' advisors more effectively recommend titles.

Organized across appeal features, this comprehensive listing of stories, biographies, and fiction is the first and only guide to sports literature for adult and teen readers. Sports literature spans multiple genres-from fast-paced adventures, to biographies of sports heroes, to tales of underdogs overcoming the odds among others.

Make history come alive! This book helps librarians and teachers as well as readers themselves find books they will enjoy-titles that will animate and explain the past, entertain, and expand their minds.

With thousands of romance novels published each year, librarians-especially those unfamiliar with or indifferent to the genre-can benefit from this well-organized, reference that offers scores of appeals-based read-alike lists for some of the most popular, contemporary romance fiction.
