The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

Finished reading The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler the other night. A light, easy, enjoyable read... 

Imagine booting up your first home computer and finding a webpage that shows your life as it will be fifteen years in the future.  Who would have thought that even the smallest things you do today can have a huge impact on that future.  That's what happens to Emma and Josh, long-time neighbors and best friends. And sometimes, what you learn about your future might change they way you are now.

International Book Giving Day

Tomorrow, February 14th, is International Book Giving Day. What a great idea!  Check it out at: http://bookgivingday.com/.  We'll be giving away books here in our school library - students & teachers... stop in and see what we have to offer!

Such Wicked Intent, also by Kenneth Oppel

So I'm browsing the library's shelves February 1st to pull books for a "Blind-Date-a-Book" display for February (see picture at bottom!) and I luck across Oppel's Such Wicked Intent (sequel to This Dark Endeavor), so of course I had to check it out and read it immediately since I enjoyed its predecessor so much!  I enjoyed this story line just as much as the first!!! Victor, grieving his dead twin, at first gives up all interest in alchemy. But he finds a metal book-like box that may hold the answer to his desire to speak to his brother again. I highly recommend both of these titles!

And now for my display, which has garned much attention, I am happy to say...

The sign atops reads "Haven't you heard? You should never judge a book by its cover!!!  Blind date a book"  I asked my regular readers to recommended titles and write a one-sentence enticing blurb, and I added some of my recent reads to fill in the display.
