I've booktalked Neil Gaiman books! He has "Coraline" and "Graveyard Book" in the children's section. I used to read the opening scene of Graveyard Book, when the parents are murdered, when i would visit schools LOL. Talk about getting the kids on the edge of their seats!

One of the things I like about being a public vs school librarian is I can booktalk the edgier books. I've got the Lizzie Border book on my desk now, hoping to fit that in when I see the 5th graders BWAHAHA! :)

I don't believe in censoring reading anyway, my Mom let me read Stephen King when I was 12, Michael Crichton was my favorite author for a long time around that age too. I just want the kids to read! As much as I can't stand 'Twilight' at least it got kids into the library!
