Reading for Pleasure: Podcasts for Getting Hooked on Books

Grade Five is officially off and running with the Book Talk Projects, Mrs. Testa expressed interest in having her students view my own Book Talk Podcast, so it might do everyone well to think about what's out there to read that students might want to dive into.  Ideally, I'd love to have entire classes of students doing their own podcasts about "What books are hot and what books are not!"--sort of an interesting self-perpetuating cycle of students' reading producing social memes that would prompt their peers to read.  This might be a nice option to have "on the menu" for next year.  

For the present, however, if anyone (teachers, students, parents) is having difficulty figuring out what students might want to read that is "of and in the moment" s/he can pick and choose from the podcasts here--the above screenshot is for grades K-5, the one below is for grades 6-12.
