New books

Across the Universe by Beth Revis
A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder. When Amy is frozen aboard the interstellar spaceship Godspeed, she expects to be woken in 300 years on a new planet. Instead, someone wakes her up early…and if Amy doesn’t figure out soon, the next people woken up might not survive–including her parents.
I read this, well, actually, listened to this . . . can you imagine knowing that your parents are still in 'stasis' and, when they get awakened, you will be older than them? Weird. And that is not the weirdest . . . Going to be a trilogy, Yay!









                                                    Tempest, by Julie Cross
The year is 2009.  Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun. (Yeah, right.) I love the cover of this book - it reminds me of Hush Hush, sort of. It is amazing how covers can make you want to read a book. I miss them - my downloaded audiobooks are sort of 'cover-less'.










Cinder by Marissa Meyer

 Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.
I listened to this one, two, also part one of a trilogy. I'd like to hear what you think . . .

The Darlings in Love by Melissa Kantor
Three close friends with appealing and distinctive personalities support one another through the ups and downs of romance during their first year in high school. A sequel to The Darlings are Forever. Write a review for Barnes and Noble and I will bake you cookies!

Ugly to Start With by John Michael Cummings
Jason Stevens is growing up in picturesque, historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia in the 1970s. Back when the roads are smaller, the cars slower, the people more colorful, and Washington, D.C. is way across the mountains—a winding sixty-five miles away. Boy, that doesn't tell you very much - sounds like this is one of those books that can't be summarized well . . .

We are adding to our collection in these areas - that is libraryspeak for: we are buying books on these topics! Any suggestions?

It's been a while

I started posting the new books to our catalog under New Teen Books from the Clyde Public Library.

And I quit posting what we have been doing at our SPLAT sessions.

Right now we are deciding whether to create a video for summer programming.

Theme: Pwn the Library - it was "Own" the library, but I said "Pwn" and Gavin made a cool sign.
