Top Ten Tuesday: Series I'd Like to Finish
I am horrible about finishing series! I read so much new fiction that it’s usually only the first book or two that are actually already published and by the time the next in the series is released, I’ve forgotten everything important in the previous book which leads to a lot…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Really Liked but Can’t Remember Anything About
This theme is so perfect for me because I can never remember what books are about – I barely remember titles and authors, but I can usually remember covers and remember if I read it, as for details – once I finish a title, those details leave my brain to…

(Unofficial) Top Ten Tuesday: Picture Book Sequels
I love to share my book knowledge with families at the library – especially when I get to tell them their favorite stories are part of a series! Check out these great sequels (and trilogies!) Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast by Josh Funk, illustrated by Brendan Kearney The Case…

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I’ve Been Meaning To Start But Haven’t
I decided to focus on YA series and specifically chose series that I’ve never started – there are so many series that I start and then abandon at a later date. I’m notorious for stopping in the middle of trilogies as it’s difficult, in my opinion, to write a strong…

I’ve had little to no time to read this week, but I did get a chance to crack open Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz which I’m enjoying already (but haven’t gotten too far into yet!). It’s about a faerie with one wing and a magician’s apprentice in…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved Less Than I Thought I Would
I chose to focus on series, either the first or subsequent books that I just couldn’t get into. Trilogies are m kryptonite – I’ll love the first one and then I’m usually disappointed with book two or three. The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares Eragon by Christopher…

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Finished Series I Have YET To Finish
A lot of times, I’ll try and read the first in a popular series so I can get a feel for the storyline, but I rarely have time to read the whole series, unless it’s something I really enjoy. I also have strong feelings about trilogies… I love the first…

Series Books – a resource to make you a little less crazy!
I don’t know how familiar you are with the series in your library, but I always cringe when a kid asks me what the next book in the Warriors series is. Sometimes finding the next book is easy, while other times it’s nearly impossible! But, I found a tool provided by the…

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Event
There’s not much to say about the phenomenon of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Jeff Kinney has created a series of books that kids are dying to read; epseically boys and that’s awesome! We decided to host an event at this time of the year because the last…
