How to Beat A Reading Slump

Wednesday, March 10
Maybe it's the warm weather and Spring fever, but I've found myself in a reading slump. Do you ever have those slumps where no matter what book you pick up nothing sounds good and you just can't get into reading?

I have some go-to reading slump books that help me get back to reading, so if your reading is dragging too, check these out:

Airhead by Meg Cabot (or really anything by Meg Cabot!)
Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening by Michael Carroll
Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford
Hearts At Stake by Alyxandra Harvey
The Juvie Three by Gordon Korman (another author where any book is good)
Something, Maybe by Elizabeth Scott

Do you have any favorite reading slump reads?

Mockingjay is coming

Friday, March 5
The third book of The Hunger Games trilogy will be hitting shelves August 24, 2010. To help us count down the days, Scholastic has made a very cool Mockingjay countdown. Pretty cool, right? And for the record, I'm totally Team Peeta!



If August seems too far away, you can always check out these other dystopian novels:

Candor by Pam Bachorz
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
The Other Side of the Island by Allegra Goodman
Gone by Michael Grant
The Giver by Lois Lowry

Who is Your Lit Crush?

Saturday, February 13
Valentine's Day is almost here and we're celebrating at The Library Center with Girls Night Out: Book Crush. Join the fun February 19 at 7pm as we talk about our favorite lit character crush, cast the dream movies of YA books, and of course, eat chocolate!

So, who are my top lit crushes? I have a long-time crush on Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. I'm very much on Team Peeta, from The Huger Games. And if I were going on adventure to save an entire kingdom, I'd want Po from Graceling by my side. Haven't read any of my lit crushes books? Check them out from the library (but be warned-you may fall in love!)

So, who's your lit crush?
