It has been a long time...

...but I finally remembered my blog. Life has been busy but I'm down to the last week of classes this semester and don't have to start again until after Labor Day. I'm really looking forward to the 'Family Vacation' in the UP.

As far as books go I haven't been reading as much as normal but I did manage to cover all my favorite's new books including; Janet Evanovich's Twelve Sharp, Iris Johansen's Killer Dreams, Linda Howard's Cover of the Night, Jayne Ann Krentz's All Night Long, Nora Roberts's Angels Fall, and Johanna Lindsey's Captive of My Desire. I've also been doing several children's fantasy books on audio for a "Literature and the Child" conference I'm going to in September. My favorite of those so far is Two Princesses of Bamarre by Cail Carson Levine. She also wrote Ella Enchanted.

We are down to the last week of Summer Reading Club and I'm kinda disappointed in myself for not offering more for the teens but with school and the added work of the building project I didn't find the time or energy to plan more. My B'Tween Time for 10-13 year olds is still going well and I hope that I get some new attenders when school starts up again.

I shall try to update this a little more often for you few who actually have some interest in my postings of brains, books and bogus thoughts. (I need to think more bogus thoughts)
