I've seen some fun things around this week and had to share: The Baby-sitters Club: Where Are They Now ? This post has a pretty funny description of what our favorite babysitters are doing these days. Thanks to my friend Brooke (via Facebook) Author James Kennedy has a great contest going: Newbery Winners in 90 seconds . I love this video for A Wrinkle In Time (I think I saw this first on A Fuse #8 ) And this I found today (thanks to Yahoo) where a girl reads Fox in Socks super fast-pretty impressive! (Although I wish it were a bit more enunciated-thank goodness there are subtitles on the screen!)

This one is for all you library school students: (thanks to LibrariYAn for the link!) And thanks to Betsy Bird for pointing me to this one.

Marian the Librarian from Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness is my favorite librarian character in YA. I have to give a huge shout-out to Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl for creating such a kick butt and awesome librarian! So because I love Marian, I was thinking about what books would be on Marian’s bookshelf or TBR pile. And here’s what I pick for the Caster librarian: - The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling -I think Ms. Marian would enjoy reading about Harry and his magical adventures and I would hope she’s as big of a Harry Potter fan as I am! - Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft by Mindy Klasky -I’m sure Marian would get a kick out of this adult chick lit title-it’s about a librarian (like her) who finds out she’s a witch. - What the Librarian Did by Karina Bliss -Marian delivers romance novels to the town of Gatlin, but I wonder if she might have a soft spot for them as well? Plus, I think she'd get a kick out of this one! - Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink- Wi...

So I've been looking through my keyword searches again, and although most of them are full of book report questions and movie news (Nope, I do not have any idea when Percy Jackson/Hunger Games/Beastly/Fill in the Blank movie is casting or even if they will hold open casting calls and if I do find out I'll post it in the YA movie news!) but some are kind of fun. So here are some keyword searches I thought would be interesting to look at and answer: +1 updating and current e-mail addresses @yahoo.com @hotmail.com @gmail.com 2009 and +15 amanda gmail,email,aol,yahoo.com -That's a weird contest entry looking thing and 15 entries is a lot!! Not really sure what this was and how it even linked to me-hmm.... Green Bean Teen Queen Twitter -Yes I do Twitter, although I'm pretty bad at updating it and staying on for long. But find me at GreenBeanBlog Alyson Noel Blue Moon Blog -Alyson's blog can be found on her website: www.AlysonNoel.com , but she also just launched a site...
