Marylaine Block, trainer, writer, and creator of "Neat New Stuff I Found on the Net This Week" and the Ex Libris e-zine, maintains this page as part of the Book Bytes section of her site. You don't have to be a readers' advisory public librarian to appreciate Block's extensive list of books that she has annotated with brief summaries and thoughtful observations about the content and authors. Block has divided the books into 14 sections ranging from murder mysteries to serious fiction to books teens should like (even though they aren't necessarily labeled "young adult literature"). A few of the categories are further subdivided to assist the reader in finding just the right book.
