Getting Ready for the BIG SHOPPING TRIP!

Woohooo!!! I am SO excited about heading to Austin with 31 members of the Library Club and money to spend at Book People and Half Price Books!!!  Not only that - we get a WAY cool lunch @ Fogo de Chao and a Coffee-Tasting @ Starbucks!  GREAT WORK Club for the RFP from ACE and getting two local businesses to support and sponsor your lunch and coffee/reading time!

Things you might want to do this week and next:
Think about what books you want to choose for the library shelves! Is there a series of five and we're missing number 2? Is there a hot new title you MUST read?
Think about what you are going to wear: COMFY! (so sneakers ok) but dressed respectably - (nice clean jeans ok - with nice shirt - no sketchy clothes...you know what I mean!)
Think about what YOU want from this trip - and how you will say THANK YOU to all the good people and organizations who supported it for you!

Okay - that's enough of that!

Don't forget - It's the Wednesday we return from Spring Break (March 21st) - ALL DAY. You might want to bring $5 to $20 to buy books for YOURSELF @ Half Price Books!

Later all - see you in two weeks! (I'll be presenting at SXSW Edu and SXSW Interactive - along with your Library Club President! (and Secretary...and Gamer Club President!)

TO ALL LIBRARY CLUB MEMBERS!!!

Make sure you keep up the reading and blogging. Do not forget because it will allow you to tell how you feel about a particular book, and also get others to read the same books so you can discuss them. It can be very fun, and do not forget to leave out spoilers. Thanks to every single one of you very much for your participation in the club, past, present, and future.

The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill by Heather Brewer

Heather Brewer has yet again impressed us with the debut of her newest series, First Kill. This series is centered around Joss, a character in her previous series, The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod. This new series is her attempt to prove to us all that there are several sides to every story and each side is just as important as its counterpart.
From a young age Joss had showed abilities far beyond other boys his age. This set him apart from everybody else. After his younger sister's terrible murder, he learns about the Slayer Society and decides he wants to take part in order to avenge his sister's wrongful death. Joss must face many near impossible obstacles and the wrath of his uncle in order to become the youngest slayer in history.

The greatest book ever is I am number 4. It is filled with impacted things like love and secrecy, and aliens. Yes, aliens dont forget the green things, but in this book they are not green things they are normal looking humans with special abilties to be 10 x faster, stronger and better than humans.
