Survivor



Really enjoyed reading Between a rock and hard place by Aron Ralston. It was a story well told that kept me reading until the end. The story also left me wanting to know more about Aron and Canyonlands, the site of the story. To that end, we have purchased the DVD from NBC news with a Tom Brokow interview and return to the canyon. Your sponsor can borrow it from us at anytime. Just e-mail a request. Keep on reading.

2008-2009 High School Name That Book Underway



Hope this blogging finds you deep into the reading list for this year. I, as the grand quote picker and ultimate questions maker, have been making my way through the books as well. Currently I am experiencing the end of the world with the zany Pratchett and Gaiman book, Good Omens.

Hope that many of you celebrate Teen Read Week at your library the week of
Oct. 12-18. I love the theme this year, Books with Bite. We have at least one Vampire tale to read this year, Bloodline by Cary. And of course we are all anticipating the movie Twilight. Twilight was on our list two years ago. I swear all teams had every line of that book memorized and it was impossible to find a quote from that book that someone might not know.

I will be posting here once every two weeks. I would like to share team pictures. Just send them and I will upload. Read thoughtfully.
