What's in my book bag

First, I apologize for not blogging more often (Kylie). I have heard about it, so I guess someone is reading this. Renewed commitment to all of you. Second, keep in mind that I'm also working on my masters and not reading as much. We have a new employee that will be jumping on here and sharing blog time with me, so the frequency of postings WILL increase.

Now.....inside that bookbag.....drum roll please.......Boys That Bite by Marianne Manusci. This is aimed at young adults. Identical twin sisters, sophomores in high school, are extremely different in everything but their looks. One twin has signed her soul to a vampire and in a confusing situation, the wrong sister is bitten and is turning into a vampire. The premise of the book is good, however the quality of the writing is not on the level of the Twilight books or Tantalize. Very "sophomoric". While an enjoyable story line I think much more could have been done with the book. I'm neutral on recommending this one.

I don't think you want to hear comments on my text books for school so I'll refrain from sharing wtih you, but I am sneaking in Mercies by Toni Morrison for a review next.

2009

As the new year has started, the library is looking forward to much excitement.

Story time has resumed at 10:30 am every Wednesday.
Summer Reading plans are underway. A new library building is in the works.
Books arrive weekly.

So much is happening at our library, if you haven't been in recently, stop by. We have elevation and interior renderings of the proposed building and plenty of reading materials, of course!
