Library News (& a little "gossip") :)

"Love goes toward love, as schoolboys (or girls!) from their books...''

-- from "Romeo & Juliet"

THIS JUST IN:

Everyone's favorite Head of Youth Services, frequently referred to as "Miss Lynn," got hitched last weekend. Henceforth, she is forever more known as (you guessed it) Mrs. Montague!

So, be sure to stop by the children's desk the next time your in town, & tell her that you heard she was a beautiful bride.

She was!

NOTE:

The "next time your in town" should be this Wed. 9/24 @ 4:30PM for the return of

Teen Group! I'm guessing that we shall talk trash, Twilight, and more...

See ya then!

Did You Know...

...that The Muppet Show premiered exactly 32 years ago today? Or (oddly enough) that Scooby Doo premiered on the very same day in 1969? So, should y'all ever need be privvy,

it's a fact: Scooby the sleuth is older (& wiser?) than Kermit the frog.

On an unrelated note, since you were kind enough to ask...

TEEN GROUP RESUMES WED SEPT. 24TH & I CAN'T WAIT!!!

We'll meet in from 4:30-5:30 PM in the storytime room as usual. I'll bring the snacks (& probably a book I'll try to convince you to read w/me...). You guys just bring your sweet selves--& any other interested fellow book geeks.

In the meantime, check out "Dead is the New Black," the first of a recently added series by Marlene Perez.

If you like vampires, werewolves, psychics w/ a dash of humor,

it just might tickle your fancy...

I thought it was fun @ any rate! :)

News (Briefs)

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."

~Albert Einstein

(Meaning: School's important, I won't argue that, but don't stress too much now that you're all busy as bees again! One must always make time for a little R & R (aka: rest and relaxation)

(and a good book!)

Re: that "good book," lots of 'em coming in these days as a certain librarian's been on an ordering frenzy. If you've caught wind of any new goodies, I'd love suggestions!

On that note, I've got one, be you in the mood for more vampiric I just read a teen-friendly "adult" book that you might enjoy. It's called The Society of S by Susan Hubbard. I was enticed to read it by the cover art, which bears an uncanny resemblence to Eclipse. Good marketing scheme, eh?

FYI: Sunday is "Grandparents Day" so if you've got anyone special--give 'em a call, a hug, or both!

Vampire Bites

Ok, gals (& guys?) I finally finished up my rather belated devouring of Breaking Dawn, and the verdict is...

I have to be honest...

One thumbs up--&, yes, one thumbs down

(I can hear you yelling now, but as someone once said, "honesty is the best policy," right? :)

What I liked:

1. Bella kicked b*tt
2. She didn't eat her dad
3. She got to "keep" both her boys
4. She's matured (no more whining!)
5. But, above all, as always, our dear Edward :)

What I didn't:

1. It all seemed to wrap up a tad too neatly
2. The whole weird Jacob middle book thing
3. That even weirder sci fi Rosemary's Baby thing (creepy gross!)

Still, it was grand to hang with the Cullen crew & friends again--can't beat that!

Your turn--time to comment away!

P.S. Have fun at school Tuesday! :)

Breaking News

Just a friendly update from your local frazzled teen librarian--I'm finally, finally almost done with Breaking Dawn, so we can dish soon. Also, I hope you all are enjoying these final weeks of summer. Rest up & enjoy a few fluffy reads before homework resumes (which, by the way, I am finally, finally finished with FOREVER!

Alas, I can no longer share in your pain.

Sorry (not!)

:)

P.S. I'm also finally getting around to order some fresh goods--keep an eye on the newbie shelf!

I'm still here (just not reading quite yet!)

Greetings & Salutations, my readerly people!

Just wanted to let y'all know that Breaking Dawn has, at long last, finally made it into that old backpack of mine, & I aim to read it before the week's out.

Scouts honor! :)

Looking forward to lots of fantastical blog discussions--& a real lively chat when book group resumes next month...

Calling all Summer Readers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, get 'em in!!!

FYI: I'm avoiding your comments like the plague 'til I, too, have a chance to read Breaking Dawn, lest one of you slip & let the cat (or wolf) outta the bag. Summer school's almost over, and I've been looking forward to my treat for far too long!

(Thanks for your patience--and I promise that we'll dish soon!)
