Originally uploaded by librariann1. Whether you think Twilight is a piece of drivel, a literary masterwork of SEXY MORMON GLITTERING VAMPIRES, or somewhere in between, you must admit that:
A) teen librarians need to Sit Up and Take Notice of the series (even if that means the second two books have been sitting on a hypothetical 'to read' pile since their respective release dates), which consequently means Pandering to the Needs of Obsessed Teen Patrons and Sometimes Reading Stories They Have Posted on FF.net; and
B) Cedric Diggory is looking rather hot these days*.
* AND KIND OF LIKE CHUCK BASS?
The poster now gracing my library's teen bulletin board was created with the aid of the Rasterbator, which will convert any image you upload into a dot-based illustration up to TWENTY METERS IN SIZE. Twenty meters!!!
You could be the proud owner of a whole lot of Jensen Ackles in that fashion, that's what I'm sayin.
2. All other reading pursuits have been suspended until further notice. I am at book SIX of the Dark Tower. Last night, I was settling in for a soak in the tub when I realized I had finished The Wolves of the Calla and there was NOTHING ELSE IN MY HOUSE THAT I WANTED TO READ. Plenty that I COULD read. My started-and-yawned-in-the-middle pile goes something like this:
- Good Girls by Laura Ruby
- Pretty Little Liars by Sara Sheppard
- Two Weeks to Live by that lady from the MacLaughlin Group
- Let's Get Primitive: The Urban Girl's Guide to Camping
(I am trying to get over my fear of pooping in the woods, because when the apocalypse comes and plumbing fails, we will ALL BE POOPING IN THE WOODS. It is my greatest apocalypse fear. That and that my axe will not be sharp enough to fell zombies/north central positronics robots. This book has a whole CHAPTER on how to comport oneself when wilderness-pooping! I am amazed.)
(related: I have been emailing this article about how fangirls can survive the Zombiepocalypse left and right, lately.)
Plus, under our "hall" console/table I have a giant box of withdrawn books and ARCs that I COULD read. If I wanted. (If I wanted to read anything other than Stephen King. WHICH I DO NOT.) My sister is begging me to take them out of the apartment; I think sometime soon I may have a sidewalk book clearance sale benefiting my my need for spring shoes.
