Read Them and Weep

Well, not weep. This has beent he sight you have seen in our Library for almost the past 2 weeks! Ahhhh, new books - sort of does make your a little teary eyed. :)

I must say we have had some pretty excited super readers floating around this place so there might have been some tears of joy. (Probally from a few 6th graders who snuck in a bought the next 2 Book Club Books!)

We just packed it all up Wednesday.

I want to thank all the parents and grandparents who jumped in and helped. I couldn't have done it without you. (Especially since Madison decided to get sick the 2nd day of the fair - 1st time all year chose now - ha!)

The Book Fair was a HUGE success and we sold right over the amount we sold last spring!! So we have a nice pile of books to add to our collection.

Thanks again and I hope Santa brings you a book of your choice too!

Book Fair Alert!

The Book Fair will be heading our way right after Turkey Day!!!

Books are due to arrive Thursday, Decmeber 2nd and be set up for veiwing after lunch on Friday, December 3rd!

Come ready to shop till you drop starting Monday, December 6th - Wednesday, December 15th @ noon!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Hope everyone has a safe and blessed Thanksgving!! Enjoy your time off and see you in a few days!!

AWESOME!!!!

The 3rd grade girlies met me for Taylor Swift LIVE @ Scholastics!

It was great!

I am not sure who was more excited about getting to see her.

It was neat to hear her talk about favorite books (To Kill A Mockingbird), books that she loved as a child (Dr. Seuss).

A few other classes enjoyed the presentation in their classrooms. You can still catch this at Scholastics until January 28th - it's been taped and saved for our viewing pleasure until then.

Of course she finished out our time together with a song!!

Taylor spells - happy girls! :)

Put it in Gear and Ride!

Of all the books I have read this school year this would probaly be one of my favorites!

Also my pick so far for the VA Readers' Choice! Of course a it's a close tie with The Hunger Games.

Two friends set off on a cross country ride after graduation and their lives are forever shifted into a new gear!

Write On!

Amazing book! I just finished this week before last!

I can't say enough good things about this book except - Lauren Oliver is coming to see us at SA on December 1st! I just can't wait to meet her!

She will be speaking to 9th-12th grade.

If you get a chance to grab a copy - do so!!

READ nNOW with Taylor Swift!
