She and/or her producers obviously haven’t been in a library in awhile. Card catalogs! Repressed young librarians w/ glasses and sweater vests! Shelf after shelf of old encyclopedias! Hilarious.
And I promise I’ve actually read some books and I am going to post about them I’m just having a hard time coming up [...]

Library Mistrepresentation…For a Good Laugh
Yowza Part II
I haven’t talked much about Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight books because I read and really enjoyed the first one then read and got very annoyed with the second one and couldn’t bring myself to go on. I mean, how could Bella believe one day that Edward meant to stay with her forever and the [...]
Celebrities Writing Books. Ugh.
Lauren Conrad, of the reality show The Hills, has signed a three book deal with Harper Collins. When I first heard that she had signed a book deal I assumed it was to put her (oh so interesting) life story on paper, but no. She is writing a semi-autobiographical teen series about a girl who [...]
Holy Wind Batman
As I sit here and type this I am going into my 6th hour without power — thankfully I have an extra long life battery for my laptop. While we have been lucky not to have any major rain come through, today we had the mother of all wind storms. I have never seen anything [...]
Excited!!! Part 2
I learned today that not only has my library purchased Hunger Games but they have also purchased Graceling. YEAH!!!! I really thought that I was going to have to buy it but now I will be able to enjoy its wonderfulness for free.

Much to my surprise, there on the new book rack was Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I thought the original [...]
Smart Move, Sell-Out, or Somewhere in Between
So the other day we were unpacking new books that had just come into our library and were commenting on how the new Hannah Montana novel was in hardback. Usually those TV show spin-off books are small paperbacks, but not Hannah Montana! Then I noticed the author’s name: Suzanne Harper. I was shocked and sure [...]
Yowza
So I was reading through blogs that I haven’t visited in awhile and came across this post by Miss Erin. Miss Erin went to her local Breaking Dawn release party and interviewed Twilight series fans. What scared me (though honestly didn’t completely shock me) was the quote from Twilight fan Katrina who said, “The only [...]
Reading Rut
Ack! I am having an awful time reading this month and it’s driving me crazy. I want to read but nothing will keep my attention (well, almost nothing — I recently finished Prom Dates from Hell…post forthcoming — I am also in a posting rut). Anybody else ever have this problem? It’s really annoying. I [...]
