It's Friday!

Who knew that Friday would be my update day?  I love when I get some time to update.  My big news for the week is that I ordered books for my bookclubs!  The first book I ordered for January is called The Roar by Emma Clayton.  I haven't read it yet, but I had ordered it for the library based on recommendations.  So I'm very excited about that!

The first book club will be held sometime in January--that will give all the students the chance to read the book (especially with Christmas break thrown in there). 

Other than that, it's pretty quiet in the library. hahaha oh funny me!  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

What's new?

Not much here.  Book club sign ups are still open.  Please if you're interested, let me know!  I have a big bunch this year and a good mixture of boys and girls and grade levels.  I'm very excited!

Sitting next to me is Beautiful Darkness that I told another teacher she can read.  I bought it last weekend and haven't even started it.  I won't lie...it calls to me with a sweet voice.  But no, I will buckle down and read another battle book.  My albatross.  Is that the saying?  Or is it a different bird?  I donno!

I'm a little sad I don't have any followers yet.  So parents and students follow me!  :)  I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  And I'm going to leave you with a link to the book trailer for Beautiful Darkness because I can't figure out how to post the video
On a side note:  how fun would it be to make our own book trailers?

Where has the time gone?

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  I enjoyed my time off and am now in the mad rush for Christmas.  I feel like this craziness has followed me into the library and I've been a crazy harried librarian!  I finished The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg today and now am getting ready to start another Battle book.  I have three more left to read and am excited to be able to pick a random book to read. 

In other news: FMMS book clubs are starting up again (after a bit of a hiatus this fall).  Sign ups are this week and then I'll get down to picking dates and figuring out books.  I am REALLY excited to see how this year goes.  Last year was all students who had done it the year before.  So this is a whole new crop of students--and I'm so excited to get some new blood.  And to have new books to read!
