Miscellaneous BITES!

I'll be putting up a Teen Read Week retrospective of all we did for 'Books with Bite', but before I put up pictures and summarize the past week, I'd like to call attention to a few neat opportunities that are available now, or coming up!

First off, author Lauren Myracle (ttyl, ttfn, l8r g8r) has sent us some BLISS-ful goodies -- just in time to highlight her as this month's Author Spotlight to go along with the release of her spooky new book BLISS. More information will be forthcoming soon -- we'll be doing a special BLISS event in the library, and displaying Lauren as the October author.

We've decided to host a regular board-card-roleplaying-game night afterschool in the library. You're welcome to bring the games you'd play at lunch and join us -- watch for advertisements on dates and times. Thanks to those who came to the Teen Read Week gaming events!

Author Alan Gratz has decided to promote his new sequel, Something Wicked: A Horatio Wilkes Mystery by releasing his FIRST Horatio book, Something Rotten, for free on his website. Find it here and be sure to check out the sequel when Junior Library Guild sends it to us later this fall.

Be sure to pick up your copy of our next book club book, the graphic novel The Plain Janes by Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg, that's now available in our library. Next month: TWILIGHT! We'll be putting out a sign-up to see the movie in the theater very soon!
