Big News!



Remember when I posted about running on the ballot for the 2013 Printz Committee? Well, I got a call today that I was elected onto the committee!! I am thrilled beyond words and I can't wait to meet the other committee members and discuss YA.

I have to say a huge THANK YOU to all the readers, bloggers, and librarians who helped spread the word and who voted for me. I feel so loved and I'm so amazed at all the congrats that keeps pouring in-you guys are seriously making me blush!!

But wait...what does this mean for the blog?

As of right now, I don't know. I'll keep it going, I know that, but I think the amount of postings will go down come February 2012 when committee work starts. Most likely the amount of reviews will decrease as well, but I'm hoping to post more booklists, reader's advisory materials, program ideas, and Tween Tuesdays.

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails?

I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

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
