"Now, read this..."

FYI:

If you're not on "The Hunger Games" hold list, get on the bus ASAP!!!

Finally picked it up last night after days of ignoring it as "homework,"

(Sorry Lynn!)

and read & read til my neck was good & cramped.
Sad to say, only a few pages to go...

Yep, it's that good.
P.S. Happy New Year!!!

A Very Merry COLD XMAS to You...

"What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?"
-- Dr. Seuss


Wherever art thou, teen bloggers (hint, hint),
I shall keep this short & sweet
(kind of like me! he, he)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

And, my gift to you,
should you aim to get in touch w/ your inner child over break...

"I Wanna Be Your Shoebox" by Cristina Garcia--
a lovely speed read that'll make you wanna hug your grandpa
(& perhaps purchase a new pair of shoes!)
Other Advice? Read, eat,
& sleep lots,
then BLOG!
I expect recommended reads upon the New Year...

Book Love

Hey, gals (& guys?) I realized after the fact that while we were sharing
recent (GOOD) reads, I forgot to share mine:


"Torn to Pieces" by Margot McDonnell --
picked it up randomly one night, & couldn't put it down...
a great mystery w/ pretty goovy characters.
Me thinks y'all would like!


Another top pick (since I'm feeling generous) is a recent staff pick:
"Little Brother" by Cory Doctorow...
lots of action, nice tight plot, (& even a little romance) --
a sure hit with the mathematically minded. :)


FYI: I just put "Amazing Grace" on hold (ur right, we don't have it)
but if it's as good as you claim, perhaps I shall remedy that!


Last but not least: Thanks for coming yesterday --
Tons of fun to trash
