There's this site where you can browse through old catalogues, which I find kind of fun and interesting - but then I am kind of old, and also a librarian. Anyway, take a look at the Canadian Museum of Civilization display "Before e-commerce" to have a look at some old Eaton's catalogues and the like. I also thought this might be useful when you do some of your assignments - I'm not sure which ones, but we will use this website at some point - I can feel it!
On to books - The Bard Academy Series is rocking my world! Thanks to H.T. from Senior Book Club for letting me totally steal her summer reading list and order her picks for the library. So this series is set at a boarding school (da da DAH) for bad kids (uh oh) and the teachers are a little strange - but you have to read the books to find out why. Not one, but two pretty hunky guys, plus the required nerdy friend and crazy roommate - add a spooky twist and these books have it all! Then there's also a little tweak that's going to have you wanting to read or re-read the classics. Perfection.
Wuthering high, hahaha smart, very creative eh?
