First booktalk

what a nerve wrecking experience!
I've never done book talks in front of people in my life, and just tried to remember the book talks that I saw in libraries... still the thought of doing it in front of the whole class and professor made me lose some sleep, hahaha.
Soon I figured that the key point is to connect yourself to the book you're gonna talk about. Without that connection, you're merely delivering dry information. And that won't help you connect with your audience, teens. I don't know why, but I'm getting a bit nervous about interacting with teens. I fear they'll be very cynical, critical, and really really judgmental.... Looking back on, this is the type of teen I was. The book talk makes me think and work on how I can approach them and reconnect myself with them.. or simply how I use all the expertise I have to hook them up with information resources.
