Birthday Contest Winner

The winner of the birthday contest is:


Melanie said Something, Maybe was a great summer read (she's so right!) And she won on her birthday, so happy birthday Melanie!

Since I asked what everyone's favorite summer reads were, I thought I'd share the answers. Some people like light fluffy romance, where others lean more towards issue books,mysteries and action. Sarah Dessen got the most mentions but Sarah Ockler's debut book Twenty Boy Summer wasn't far behind, so way to go Sarah O! (And yes, I love that two of the top authors share my name!:) The other most popular summer reads author was Meg Cabot.

Bedtime Books for the Weary

Today I'm over at the ALSC Blog talking about some of my new favorite bedtime-themed books!

13 District Mockingjay Tour: District 4

Hello and welcome to District Four. I'm sorry that Finnick isn't here to be your host. I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where
