Numerous things...

Okay, yes, feel free to call me a slacker!  I have been super lazy about the blog.  And no, there is no one else to blame but myself.  And the lack of internet at my home.  But anyway...down to business....

1. Amazon put out a list of the best Middle School Books.  Publisher's Weekly also did this, but their list seemed a little lame to me.  No offense to the books or their creators, but I think that there were better titles to choose.  Amazon also did a Teen list, but I don't know exactly where they got their info on that one, but most of those have not been popular titles among teen readers.  Oh well, but here are links to the Middle School Age Books.

2. "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss will be made into a movie.  And below is the link for the trailer!

3. I have been following the National Book Award debacle from the beginning with poor Lauren Myracle caught in the middle.  If you would like to know the full story about what happened why her book should have won, but was later asked not to participate, I have a story written by Myracle posted below.

And that is all for the time being.  I do have several books to update into to the blog.  Plan is to sit down and get them all punched out soon enough!  Until there dear literary friends!!
