Goth 'N Games

Greetings & Salutations my fellow word nerds;

and for thee, a new books list --

finally!

http://library.booksite.com/6947/nl/?list=CNL14

(A slightly sunnier version shall be be arriving shortly).

In the meantime...

feel free to stop by & get your kicks

@ our this week's Open Gaming bout:

Wed. 9/30, 4:30-5:30 PM.

I may even bring a few new books,

should it tickle my fancy... :)

Recommended Read(s):

Rachel Cain's Morganville Vampires series--

pleasantly suprised to find that I'm actually enjoying it!

In Case Anyone's Reading This...

I'd like to give a shout out to all my TEEN GROUP homies,

& say I sure hope to SEE YA THERE this

Wed 9/16 @ 4:30

'cuz I sure do miss you guys!!!

BONUS: Shoud u show up, I just might feel so inclined to select a new CD for purchase

(which would be awfully nice w/ those brand spankin' new books I'll have in tow...)

FTY: The New Moon Soundtrack's been ordered, so place your hold NOW

Also: Keep your eyes' peeled 'cuz I'll be updating other "incomings" soon!

(incoming = books I shall try not to hog)

Happy Labor Day (& all that jazz)

1st things 1st:

A belated "Good Luck!" w/ the new school year--

not that you'll need it! :)

2nd things 2nd

(but of equal importance, @ least in my book)

our 1st TEEN TALKS / Teen Group mtg is on the horizon!

Please feel free to join me WED 9/18 @ 4:30 PM for

tantalizing chatter & moderately appetizing snacks!

(how's that for an endorsement?!?!).

There will also be NEW books!!!

A few I myself have read lately...

Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles

(a well done & rather raw look at teen pregnancy)

Poster Boy by Dede Crane

(arrogant & sometimes annoying narrator,

but a beautiful ending guaranteed to make ya cry)

Three Witches by Paula Jolin

(Intrigued by seance? Like to learn about other cultures?

This one's for you!)

The Sweetheart of Prosper County by Jill J. Alexander

(chick lit to the core--right down to its pink cover--

& delightfully rightfully so!)

Tonight, however, it's finally time to Catch a little Fire

and I cannot wait...

Facebook

So guess who finally has a Facebook page? We do!

Search for the Sun Prairie Public Library on Facebook and become a fan of the library. There's info on our page about all of the stuff happening at the library - including the teen stuff - so this should be another good way to keep track of what's happening here.

Become a fan and show your favorite library (and librarians!) some love. :)

Sorry, my bad!

Life's little dramas have sorely cramped my reading style as of late

(hence, so much silence--sorry guys!)

but I did manage to squeeze in a few

that seem rather befittingly back to school...

Karma For Beginners by Jessica Blank

(Quite mature in content--consider yourself duly warned)

&

Psych Major Syndrome by Alicia Thompson

(I especially enjoyed the psych terms that preceded ea. chapter!)

Plus, my brand new reading chair

(or should i say throne?!)

is ready, set, go for fall's incoming delights

(Yes, I'm talking about Catching Fire!!!)

Also cool & on the horizon--

http://www.louderthanwordsbooks.com/

(I went ahead & ordered all 3, so we can check 'em out!)

Thank You Summer Readers!

And, congratulations on a job well done!

Don't forget to stop in & pick-up your prizes

before u take off on those end-of-summer stayaways.

Now, if you're not booked out

(if there is such a thing...)

I've 2 great n groovy 1's for ya:

The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong

(kudos to my co-worker Ronda for "making" me read it!)

&

Meridian by Amber Kizer

(Digging it, absolutely digging it,

which is quite appropriate now

that I think of it...

You'll love 'em too--it's in the bag!

Last Call Low Down

Hello (hopefully?) Happy Readers--

it's been a while.

(It's also been busy as a bee 'round here!

Hope you've been 1 of the 1's buzzing abour.

If not, remember, tomorrow's the final day

that u can submit reading raffle tickets,

so be sure to stop by and say, "Hi!"

And, now, a few of my recent reads that I think you'll like...

Nothing But Ghosts by Beth Kephart

(Read it 4 the story, but also 4 Kephart's top-notch writing)

You Are Here by Jennifer E. Smith

(a serious road trip read that's seriously good)

It's a Mall World After All by Janette Rallison

('cuz real retail therapy is just too darn expensive--

or, at least that's why i read it!)

So Punk Rock

(And Other Ways to Disappoint Your Mother)

by Micol Ostow

(read it cuz u like to laugh--and/or cuz i said so!).
