Books & Authors

Some suggestions to help you find what you want to read:

• Ask what other people are reading:

  • Choose a book to read with a friend. The BHS Library has multiple copies of books so you and a group of friends can all read the same book together.

• Below you will find some suggestions:

  • "Pro Tips" provides suggestions on how to choose a book that you'll love

  • "Find a Good Book" provides many tools to help you find a book that you'll love.

  • "Book Lists" highlights collections from a variety of sources to help you find the most popular books for high school students this year.

• Don't forget the Brookfield Public Library!

  • The Brookfield Library has many print books available, but they also have ebooks and audiobooks. Consider sharing an audiobook with your family on your next long drive.

  • See a librarian if you would like help getting a public library card.

There are no 'good' books or 'bad' books. It all depends on what you like to read. 

• Think about a book you did like. Why did you like it?

  • Was it the author? The subject? The setting?

  • Try one of the "Find a Good Book" tools on this page. (Book Seer is my favorite)

• Search the online catalog for a book you liked & click the hyperlinks to find other books by the same author on the same subject.

• Ask for recommendations - from Mrs. Malatesta, Mrs. Rocca, your teachers, your friends
