Alyosha – 1 hour ago  » 

I get a lot of books from the kids’ section, get mostly nonfiction from the adults’ section (or order the books beforehand) and go into the teen section only when I need a particular book, rushing back out as quickly as possible in hopes of escaping detection. (The contents [in general] of those shelves are another thing that causes despair.)

*hopes she doesn’t sound too snobbish*

*applauds uproariously at Alyosha’s statements concerning the teen section, then decides that if she’s a snob, he must be, too*

My library doesn’t have any Wii or any such thing. Maybe they have one in the mysterious B. They do tend to have very outdated computer games of the worst in their genre.

As for the whole ‘teen’ section, there is an AMAZING book called Do Hard Things by Brett and Alex Harris. Its all about doing hard things, changing your world, and not being comfortable with the low expectations that teenagers have. It was a wonderful book! Check out http://www.dohardthings.com

hahaha you guys are all crazy! My library is stupid (besides that fact that it has wonderful books!) We have to drive 45 minutes away in order to use the library! The other two that are closer, we were going to have to pay a CRAZY amount of money so we could get a ‘new’ card, just to get to use it! So we use the old card farther away. The far-away library is big, but it stupid because I can’t enter any of the contests/reading programs/”place a hold” (which I sneak around heheh), only because I live so far away. Also they have a TON of game nights for the teens. How strange is it for a library for cryin out loud, to hold gamecube, Wii, and playstation nights? Its a library for BOOKS!!!

Ah. I feel better.

SWWEET! He’s one of my favorite authors. He books are great(wonderful one-day-cause-you-can’t-put-it-down-books) but I also love the fact that he does so much stuff with his readers. That fantasy fiction tour he’s doing, and his blog is pretty cool. He was doing some big pirate-y thing for Isle of Fire.

I read Hoot the book,by Carl Hiessian (or something..I think) then watched the movie. The book was better because it had a lot more to it. (Also, since the second main charater actor, played in Hannah Montana as Hannah/Miley’s (ex)boyfriend…it kinda ruined it) But I liked the second character!
