I just finished listening to the book Swindle by Gordon Korman and really enjoyed it. It was funny, and there were some great friend and enemy dynamics in the book. The characters are realistic, even though what happens probably would not, it was funny to live in someone else's shoes while listening to this book. The author also has a new one out called ZOOBreak. Get them at the library!

Hey everyone,

Thanks to all of you who made it to our first meeting of the year this week. Hopefully, you have all had a chance to check out this blog. We are looking forward to meeting even more new faces and many of you have already added your names to the chart! Everyone is reading away!!! I wanted to let you know that I am listening to the book Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and am loving it! It is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat, the whole time. The person who reads the book does a great job and that isn't always the case with books. I am looking forward to reading the sequel to this book called Catching Fire. If it is anything like the first, I'm sure it will have me in the first chapter as well. Let me know what you think about either of these two books.

Our First Meeting of the Year!! Sept. 22nd 5:30-7

Hey everyone,
It is hard to believe that school has started and our first meeting is just around the corner. To start us off right and help welcome new members, we'll be having a potluck meeting in the J-room. Our meeting will run longer than usual so that we can eat and welcome everyone and have time for booktalks! I also want to have time to share about this new feature of a blog where we can talk and comment on books that we've read from the list. I want to share how to get on and invite everyone to participate.
Please call the library or email Miss Amy at alhand@librarycamden.org to let me know that you will be at our meeting and what you will be bringing to eat for the potluck.
Keep reading from the list and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Miss Amy and Susan
