Get a first look at Angeline Boulley's debut genre-bending YA thriller 'Firekeeper's Daughter.'
There is no cold, barren wasteland of existentialism like being the only person you know totally obsessed with a book....
I am, by no means, an expert on the middle grade psyche. They deal in ultimatums, and I find that their opinions are fast, fierce and at times, flippant. However, I love everything about middle gra…

...is a sane librarian. Right? Right. So I'm going to post my favorite, hilarious book memes today. Because, yeah, Summer Reading is right around the corner and, yeah, some patrons do need to take a chill pill. But let's not focus on that, shall we? By far my favorite meme. So! Without further ado, a break from your workday: Haha...I'm such a nerd... But I do hope you enjoyed the break! Until next week! See Volume 2 here
Ask my friends: I love a good book club! A few girlfriends and I started a book club in the tradition of my mother (whose group has been meeting for over 35 years!) and it is one of the highlights of my month. I also discuss books over email with my cousin who works for Bloomsbury in London. And, most recently (and hilariously), after an exchange of suggestions on deep, soul-catching books, my friend Suzanne and I started another little email book club we ominously call “Heavy Reads”! I suspect that many women visiting here are like me: I am certainly interested in global issues, and I want to have understanding and empathy for the mass of suffering, poverty, and struggle that takes place in the world. But, it’s not my passion. I can’t constantly read hard news stories, biographies from the edge, or watch endless tragic movies. This summer, watching a succession of Schindler’s List, The Impossible, and 12 Years a Slave, along with reading The Hiding Place and a book on the Liberian civil war, (as well as following some local, heart-wrenching tragedies), just about did me in! However, I so appreciate a well-written memoir, non-fiction, or novel that plunges me into a life or a place of which I would otherwise be completely oblivious. Here are a few book picks that will swell your compassion, empathy, and open up understanding of a different kind of life. Pick them up at your library or a bookstore – local or otherwise – to whom you actually want to give your money.
I am ready for our summer trip to PEI. I’ve got my packing list, my annotated maps and guides, my camera gear and sunscreen. What else do you really need for an awesome, epic beach vacation? Reading material, of course!
For all you avid readers out there, would you say that this is just about true? It definitely is for me. Whenever I'm 'lost to reality,' interrupting me from the scene I'm reading is tantamount to tempting a hungry wolf. In fact, people rarely see me angry until they interrupt me from reading.Link via The Official Neil Gaiman Tumblr | Artist: Reenin...

Être un demi-dieu ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde, mais vous ne trouvez pas que certains abusent un petit peu ? En tout cas, c'est ce que pensent les demi-dieux et pour le faire remarquer, rien de tel qu'une liste de 21 choses INTERDITES ! On ouvre le bal avec Percy, et déjà, 21 choses ce n'est pas assez pour lui... Humour à ne pas prendre au sérieux, vraiment ! Aucun fanart ne m'appartient !
