Panelist
Nancy Pearl
The New York Times calls Nancy Pearl “the talk of librarian circles.” Nancy speaks to library and community groups across the country and she regularly recommends books on NPR’s Morning Edition, as well as on many public radio station programs. She entertains and informs standing-room only crowds, and she’s even had a librarian action figure modeled in her likeness.
Some of Nancy’s books include Book Crush: For Kids and Teens – Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Interest; Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Interest; and Book Lust to Go: Recommended Reading for Travelers, Vagabonds, and Dreamers. She also has partnered with Amazon Publishing to develop “Book Lust Rediscoveries,” a series devoted to reprinting some of the best, out-of-print novels originally published between 1960 and 2000.
