Want It Wednesday or What I Hope to Pick up at ALA

On July 11th I will be traveling to Chicago to join librarians, authors and publishers at the American Library Association conference. This will be my first time at ALA and I'm super excited to heading back to Chicago (where I lived for two years and met my husband), visit with my in-laws (who live in the suburbs) and meet with other librarians and get all fan girly over authors. One of the perks of ALA is picking up lots of swag. Here are some of the books I'm hoping to find:
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

-Powers, curses and mystery-what's not to love?

-I feel like the last blogger who hasn't read this one and Michelle is an awesome word ninja!



Alphas by Lisi Harrison

-The Clique series flies off my library shelves, so it's great to have another series to recommend. Plus, you know me and books with pink on the cover-can't resist!

-Love the title and I think this could be a must read book for tweens!
-I really hope I can find this one!! I hope BEA left us librarians some copies!
-I love this cover and the title, and it's got romance, which I'm always up for!

  1. Ohhh I'd love a copy of Prophecy of the Sisters. Its Victorian, its Gothic and it takes place in Upstate NY.

  2. You are going to get SO MANY BOOKS- I'm warning you! Like bring an empty suitcase! or TWO!

    ALA is super fun but sort of intense!

  3. You think we'll be lucky and find those? I already have Beautiful Creatures at home, but I'm crossing my fingers on Catching Fire. Can't wait for the exhibits on Saturday the 11th! And btw.. I think you CANNOT bring a suitcase, but when I was there, places were giving free bags too at booths, so you should probably be okay.

  4. As a fellow librarian you should hook me up :) No, huh? Well I thought I'd give it a go.

    I've never been to an ALA conference before. Maybe one day....

  6. Good luck with all of those and more! I'm really looking forward to Prophecy of the Sisters because it turns away from the twins who are inseparable plot.

  7. I would LOVE a copy of both Catching Fire and Scones and Sensibility.

    If I HAD to chose though, it would be Catching Fire! :)

  10. So many of those would be great like Catching Fire, Scones and Sensibility, and Nerds. I haven't read Prophecy yet either, no worries. :)

    That's awesome you're going to ALA though. I might be with Chelsea (the page flipper) but I'm not SURE yet, so I'll let you know.

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
