Kennedy in grade eleven just reminded me of the awesomeness of Scott Westerfeld! She is currently reading the Leviathan series and enjoying it very much. Book two is Behemoth, and book three is scheduled for release in August, I think. Check out his website here Scott Westerfeld and learn more about all of his writing as well as test out all of the cool gadgets.
Also, for the grade 12's, if you are unhappy with your initial choice for your Canadian author assignment, be sure to come back to me! I have another order coming in this week and have picked up a few more titles over the weekend. You still have time to make a switch - there's no need to stick with a book you're not enjoying!

So cool!
As much as I like e-readers, you can't do this with them!
I'm looking forward to Junior Book Club today at lunch and (if you aren't too busy studying for upcoming exams) we will have Senior Book Club on Thursday as usual!

New year, new things!
Welcome back, everyone! Kennedy just showed me a new website today (well, new to me, although I think I have stumbled upon it before) and I've added it to my "useful links." It's called goodreads and has lots of great features like suggesting books based on what you've enjoyed in the past and contests you can enter (even when you live in Canada!) Take the time to poke around a bit; you might find it useful if you are an avid reader!
Next, I finished reading Divergent over the holidays and I LOVED it! So did my 13-year-old, Charlie. The sequel, Insurgent will be out in May and I can hardly wait. Thanks for the recommendation Hira! I also read Stephen King's new book 11/22/63 which was amazing, but a little too mature for our library! Also 849 pages, so a bit lengthy for some students - you need to focus on your schoolwork!
If all goes well this week, Senior Book Club will meet on Thursday at 11:40 as usual and then we will get back to our regular schedule with Junior Book Club meeting next Tuesday as we normally do. Listen for announcements.
