Hi ladies! It's Mrs. Foster (aka, the librarian) I am glad you have so much fun posting :) I just want to let you know that I will be in the library almost all summer so if you are bored and need something to read, come on in and check out! We should be getting a bunch of new stuff in over the summer. Also, if you need the book club books, we have one copy of each. So, first come first serve. The Holmen Public will be getting in multiple copies of each as well for your convenience. Hope to be bloggin' this summer with you! Talk to you soon. Don't forget to say "goodbye" before the school year is out!

LORD OF THE RINGS!! Wooooooo. She's cool with me. i gotta go bother someone, but i shall edit this post later so it's meaningful.

Oh yeah, bee. Whatever happened to me helping you out???

I.H.n.

Just to let you know, we did have a couple current freshman pick up info for the summer reading and online club, so we do have some interest :)

If you guys want to help with promotions I would love it!! So come on in and we will see what we can come up with :)

I would say something lovingly sarcastic, but we all know we're being censored.

Truth or Dairy is about this girl who works at a ice cream shoppe called Truth or Dairy. Thus the title. I remember that a lot of different things happened to her, and she talked a little about what happened before, but it is diary form. I don't remember exactly what happens, just that I liked it enough to write a book review. It's in the binder, so you can read what i wrote on Monday.
I could help redesign the informational sheets to make it look more appealing to frosh. it is a little blah. but very good information on it. Yay, Bee! lol. I gotta get to sleep so i can get up early tomorrow. Peace out! I.H.n.

For the book club summer reading list, I suggest This Lullaby, and Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is a little heavy, so I guess Wuthering Heights might be better. Truth or Dairy is a good book, and it's diary form, so i know Chels would like it. I gotta go to Geometry now. Later days!

Well, I was talking to a few people about books today and they compared the Mates, Dates and... to the Princess Diaries so Chelsey and Jessie you might want to try those out. Remind me I have a couple of things you guys should look at get a few ideas for the next great summer read!

Chelsey--have you read Fever,1794 by Laurie Halse Anderson? That is a pretty good historical fiction book.

Laura has recommended This Lullaby in the past, so that might be one to try, I have never read it, but it seems to be checked out a lot.

Well, it is off to bed for me, Good night!!

I like the Left Behind series. It isn't too hard to keep up with the main characters, like Buck, Chloe, and Rayford. But the smaller characters that are mentioned once every couple books can semi-throw you off if they become an important character.
My summer reading list is the rest of the Left Behind series, The Great Gatsby, Pride and Prejudice, The Importance of Being Earnest, and rereading Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre.
i'm a bit into classics right now. i don't know why. but it'll probably save me some time for next year, when i'm taking Honors 11 and probably in college lit classes. so woohoo.

oh hey, blogger news. thehomeschoolers.blogspot.com rocks. it's mass chaos in the form of me. i have a nifty comment feature on it, so you guys should all write a comment on it. it'll be great fun. bwahahahaha! later!

So what did those you think of the Left Behind series? Did it make you think?

What is on your summer must read list? Should we read the some of the same books so we have something to discuss this summer?

I just finished Kiss the Girls by James Patterson. This is the second novel in the Alex Cross series, it was also made into a movie. I saw the movie a long time ago, but couldn't really remember it, except Alex Cross was played by Morgan Freeman. This book is definately quite a page turner. Women are disappearing in the South from various places and in LA women are being brutially murdered. There are barely any clues and the Alex's niece disappears, so he decides he must help the FBI and local police force with the investigation. Alex is a police detective in Washington, DC he is also a Doctor in psychology (I believe).

Have a great weekend!! Is anyone else going to see President Bush speak?

I am looking forward to reading the The Glorious Appearing, but I haven't had the opportunity yet. Did you like the second book as well as the first one? I like the first 4 books the best and then there was a little bit of a rut, but the 2nd to last one was on the same level as the first few (at least that is what I think). Do you have a hard time keeping track of all the characters?

What is everyone else reading these days?
