I am an elementary and middle school librarian by day, and a stark raving bibliophile by night. I love all sorts of things from Beowulf to best sellers, and if I ever go missing, odds are you'll find me between the leaves of my latest literary endeavour. I also collect rare and antique books, anything written or published by the Inklings,... more »

    I actually got into the Elizabeth Peters mysteries for a while, which I LOVED. They're like Indiana Jones on paper, how much better can it get? I'm about to do a re-read of Narnia though, I believe. I always get the urge to read those when it gets close to Christmastime. Have you read anything good lately?

    Oh, and I ended up posting my survey on the groups I'm a member of and I've gotten a bunch of responses there, so I think I'm covered -- but thanks for being willing!

    Hey -- long time no talk! I'm writing a paper on Shelfari and I have to interview a couple of users for it, and I was wondering if you minded if I asked you? It's totally okay if you would rather not, but I just thought I would ask.

    Hi Wayne!

    Sorry I haven't replied in so long, I'm a bad friend :( I've been so busy! I'm taking 2 classes this semester (Library 2.0 and Competitive Intelligence) and working full time, plus I'm trying to get all of my non-school reading done hehe

    I'm glad you liked Catching Fire, wasn't the last sentence the best? I feel the same way -- I really need the next book, can't wait till it's out. I haven't been able to check out 39 clues yet, my library has a long wait for the first book, which can only mean that kids are really loving it since it's always out. I did just finish People of Sparks (the 2nd book of Ember) and I really enjoyed it. I'll have to check out the last unicorn, it sounds really interesting... Sorry I don't have any recommendations for you right now, unless you're interested in my school books, they're not as fun though :)

    Did you get to meet Kate DiCamillo? How did it go?

    Sarah M says

    Haha let me know how that goes. I have thus far refused to pick it up, partly because I love the original already and partly because I'm not a fan of what I consider glorified fan-fiction. I will definitely let you know if I want any more suggestions -- I think I'll pick up Hunger Game after I'm done with Seeing Redd and see what I can make of it. Let me know if you seek any suggestions as well :)

    I've looked at those before and never picked them up, though I'm not entirely sure why. I'm loving The Looking Glass Wars, by the way. Almost finished with the first one :)

    What about Hunger Games? I'm usually not a huge sci-fi fan, especially post-apocalyptic, but that sounds interesting.

    I've been thinking about reading The Looking Glass Wars for a long time now but I've gotten a few mixed reviews -- one of my friends loves it, but another says that though the concept is brilliant, the execution is weak. Thoughts?

    Personally, I won't be content until I have the Beauty & the Beast library in my house. I'm working on expanding though - I have a tendency to re-read but I'm trying to force myself to find new books instead. Any suggestions?

    No problem :) And yes -- Bunnicula is fantastic. When I was little I wouldn't read it at first because I had a pet bunny and couldn't imagine a vampire rabbit, but eventually I did and, obviously, I adored it.

    I know! I feel the same way, my "plan to read" list is growing way too fast! No I haven't heard of the Graveyard Book, but it looks interesting, I'll have to check it out. I'm with you on Catching Fire :) I was trying to bid on an advanced copy on ebay, but I didn't get it... I couldn't put Hunger Games down, it was such a good read. I heard that part 2 is even better... can't wait!

    Hi Wayne! Yes, I saw Desperaux on your shelf and decided to check it out :) A friend of mine has just recommended The City of Ember. Have you read that one yet?
