I was helping one of my regular teens with a project on video games today and was able to help him find two book sources that he needed. He then came and asked me if I had any headphones he could borrow to use for the computer and I said that I did. He responded: "You're awesome! You're like my new best friend...aside from my mom!" That quote totally made my day! :)

Thanks to Emmy Reader for the Splash Award! Emmy Reader is a new blogger and I think she's off to a great start! Liyana gave me the One Lovely Blog Award (go check out her blog-it's so cool!) And I can't remember if I thanked Ashley at Pikealicious for the One Lovely Blog Award, so thanks Ashley! Ashley rocks because she's a librarian too!:) I know I'm supposed to award other blogs now, but as you can guess, I'm super super busy at the moment, but I wanted to give shout outs to these two wonderful blogs. Make sure you stop by and read them!!:)

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: This book came with a lot of praise written up about it so it had a lot to live up to-and boy did it ever! This book is amazing! The Chosen One is a horrifying, chilling tale of a girl caught in the middle of a religious "cult" and her plans to escape. As heartwrenching as this tale is, there...

Wow I got two nominations this week for the Lovely Blog Award! Thank you PikeAlicious Books and LiyanaLand! Since I've nominated other blogs for this award already, I'm not going to nominate again, but wanted to give a shout out to these two lovely blogs who thought of me-Thanks!:)

So I'm way behind and missed out on Buffy when I was younger, so I'm catching up now and loving it. Today at the library, I totally saw a guy who looked like Giles and I wanted to run up to him and start talking and telling him he's like the coolest librarian, but had to stop myself. So I admired Giles-look alike from afar and was reminded that I need to watch Buffy when I get off work tonight!:)
