I'm hungry, etc.

"I couldn't stop reading...Addictive..."
--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly Review

"I was so obsessed with this book I had to take it with me out to dinner and hide it under the edge of the table so I wouldn't have to stop reading. The story kept me up for several nights in a row, because even after I was finished, I just lay in bed wide awake thinking about it...The Hunger Games is amazing."
--Stephenie Meyer, author of The Twilight Saga

"...as close to perfect an adventure novel as I've ever read."
--Rick Riordan, author of The Percy Jackson Series and The 39 Clues

(Just a 'lil X-tra incentive for any "Hunger Games" stragglers...)

Hope to see u @ Teen Group this week!

[same time, same place,

I'm nervous...

My, my, my...

What a small knitting group we had this week--

I even brought books, hand-picked for each and every 1 of you!

(Are you feeling sufficiently guilty yet?)

I certainly hope so--

at least enough to entice you to

Survey

Hello there! Today at Teen Group is was mentioned that one of the lovely ladies over in the children's department was looking for some help with a survey for a class project. If any of you would be willing answer a few quick and painless questions about what you like to read, I would be greatly appreciative! You can find the survey here.

Also note that everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing for a Borders gift card. :) Feel free to pass this along to any friends or family who fall in the "teen" category - the more responses we get, the better. We'll keep the survey open until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Thanks for you help!

Hey, Hey, Hey!!!

FYI: Teen Group meets this week, Wed., same time, same place.

Hope to see a few familiar faces!

We'll talk books, bookshelves, & bookshelves made out of books.

(Yep, you read that right--

We've been entrusted with a special assignment...)

And, speaking of books, I'm working on a "Hot New Titles" link to have up for ya soon.

Also, since I haven't done a weekly recommended read in, ahem, many weeks...

• Two Parties, One Tux, and a Very Short Film About the Grapes of Wrath
