Just Had to Share

I'm actually home at the moment, curled up with a good book (ha, ha--you guys are in school!) and I just wanted to pass along a book pick-of-the-week, lest I forget later with all the Turkey Day Hoopla...

And the winner is: Impossible by Nancy Werlin.
'Bout 1/2 way through, & it's reminding me a lot of a Magic or Madness
for a slightly older crowd.
So, naturally, I thought it might appeal to u guys 2. :)
Also, Happy Thanksgiving in advance. & no worries, I'll feel bad about those birds for ya, and most definitely not eat them!!!

We Shall Be...

CHICKS W/ STICKS!
(yay!)
Cool Quote Alert:
" Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again."
~ Dorothy Day
(turn of the century feminist, social activist, reformer, & journalist--
cool, eh?)
TEEN GROUP
WED NOV. 19, 4:45-5:45
WE'LL GET OUR KNIT ON!
So, bring supplies if you've got 'em,
& I'll bring the books! :)
Reading Recommendation of the week:
Derby Girl by Shauna Cross
(which we were gonna read together a while back...!)
Anyhoos, it's great--totally tongue-in-cheek snarky,
the perfect anti-chick chick lit!

Gripe of the Day

It's getting like way too cold, way too fast!
And, in other more exciting news, you guys wanted a list of hot new books?!?
I worked hard on this ol' thing, so feel free to put it to good use!
(Note how it all begins with Love and Peaches)
I'll plan to update this once a month or so, then give ya the link when new goods are replaced with even newer goods!
Lookin' forward to learning to knit w/ a few fellow library chicks!
