Break!

1 Book 1 School Battle of the Book

I know, I know. The blog has been strangely quiet! I did my FIRST presentation (outside of my school) on One Book, One School at the Indiana Library Federation Annual Conference! So glad it's over.  That took some time as I do not like speaking in front of people! But, we had a great turnout and things went well! Special shout out to @libraryfanatic and @gopherlibrarian.  I enjoyed hanging out with them again!

I'm getting a blog makeover soon and have been thinking about what I want to do with the blog.  What types of information would be useful to people as they look for books to read.  There are MANY bloggers out there and quite a few are teacher-librarians.  So what can I add that isn't already being said somewhere?

I haven't read ANY of these yet but I'm happy to note that I have almost all of them here to read soon.

Goodreads Mock Printz - Reading Ask The Passengers by AS King and The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

I'm happy to note that I finished The Raven Boys and will get to ATP before the end of the month.  I'm wondering if this group has reached the end of it's time since SLJ came out with Someday My Printz Will Come and it offers a more detailed forum for discussion?

Oh, and it was The Amazing Dancer's 17th Birthday this week!!! She's growing right up!

So, I've just been laying low but I will be back soon. In the meantime, tell me what you are looking for in a book/library related blog!
