I'm reading right now, the movie trailer intrigued me. I have had too many other things to worry about lately so I haven't read a book in about 3 weeks which is crazy!

[Nicoletta]

i'm reading Sense and Sensibility

Amen to that!

Working on finishing up . After that? Who knows...

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I started on audiobook and I'm ALMOST done with .

I'm kind of wanting a main character who is a little more cheerful and has some self esteem after this pair. Any suggestions? (Opal & Fanboy are both always down on themselves. Want to shout at them!)

I have from Netgalley but it doesn't strike me as perky.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I just want a main character with some self esteem. I've read a lot without it and I keep wanting to lecture them all.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I was like OOOOO good plan then its checked out at my library *sulks*

So Catie did the earthquake eat you today? PS I only found out about it 5 minutes before now and when they say people in Kentucky felt it my first reaction is "Sure they did..." (mainly because I was in Eastern KY this afternoon/evening and nobody said a thing to me about it).

I'm loving this book right now nearly finished!

[Melissa]

Starting today on my lunch break! Can't wait!

[Lloyd]

I really, really enjoyed . After reading my son to sleep last night ( ) I stayed up late to finish it. It reminded me of S.E. Hinton books. Small, yet chock full of story with a lot to say. Good stuff!

Not sure if I'm going to start something else, or continue to work on finishing up another one I'm working on.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I loooooved both of those books Lloyd.

[Gwennie]

Graffiti Moon was really wonderful. Great characters, and a really unique bit of writing. I loved how I felt like I was reading art... the way everything was described so vividly and swirly.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I have a feeling Graffiti Moon is going to become one of those books we always recommend and talk about. Once its actually published in the US.

Have I expressed my Netgalley love lately?

[Gwennie]

I especially love it when they have those types of books.

It's definitely a must recommend book.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

At least the library has it for the future. Just not for my right now when I'm feeling picky.

I've always secretly (okay not so secretly) wanted to feel a minor earthquake. I know that's horrible to admit but I'm curious what they feel like.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Oka you're not decreasing my desire to experience one with that.

My hometown had a small one when I was in college and my college town had a small one after I moved home. Such a tease.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I was around for the big one in Cali that collapsed part of the Bay Bridge. Our whole house was rocking like a boat. My dad (he's so mellow) kept on laying bricks for our front porch, while my mom was on the phone and started screaming and threw the cordless across the room.

[Heidi]

I am sticking with the Midwest. Sure we have tornadoes, but I don't have to worry about the earth shaking around me (or ocean tsunamis from the earthquakes). I am not into the earth moving under me. It freaks me out.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Tornadoes scare the bejeezus out of me Heidi. BEJEEZUS!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I grew up in Cali and have never seen a tornado, but what did I have nightmares about all through childhood? Yep - tornadoes.

We get them where I'm at in Colorado, but the closest any have come to me have only been really small ones at least a few miles away. One touched down and moved a car on the other side of town. That was about it.

[Heidi]

Cassi wrote: "Tornadoes scare the bejeezus out of me Heidi. BEJEEZUS!"

Not so scary to me here. Perhaps because I have not had one bull doze my house (thank goodness). I would be more concerned living by a massive ocean that it was going to take over all the land near me and I would be underwater. I am very claustrophobic though so I have strange thoughts about not being able to breath. Those thoughts don't happen with tornado's.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

We get some tornadoes in Kentucky, we occasionally get small earthquakes (tho supposedly we're all overdue on that one fault line somewhere towards western KY), we've had high winds from a hurricane on the gulf knock out power once, we get some snow.

But I don't think we're extreme in anything. We get a dash of this and that. I can live with that.

[Jennifer]

I think its just location. You get used to things. I have lived in Oklahoma all my life and tornadoes are pretty common place. I would love to be a chaser. But the thought of hurricanes is horrifying to me.

[Beth (the one who is)]

I am reading

[Lisa]

Awesome book...you will enjoy it!

So far , I am :) It's different but the same.

[Gwennie]

I'm terrified of tornadoes. I think it's this reoccuring dream when I can't hold onto my daughter.

[Jennifer]

Lisa,

I'm just down the road in Sapulpa. Great to find another Green Country resident here.

[Mira]

I am currently reading Firelight By Sophie Jordan, like right now I have the book (or at least some version of the book) right beside me.

[Melissa]

Just started tonight =)

Earthquakes scare me because you never know when they will hit until it happens. Living on the Gulf Coast, hurricane are an every summer occurence. We don't even get worked up over them unless they are a Cat 3 or stronger!

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Reading which has mistakenly been put in the Juvenile section at my library (they do this stuff all the time). Really enjoying it but its definitely YA, not younger.

[Ashley]

Starting today!

Yeah, there was surprisingly alot more innuendos in the book then there were in the movie. I bet they thought that because it's the book the movie was based on that it was juvenile. They should read stuff first.

I liked it too.

[Julie]

I started last night, seems like it'll be a pretty quick read.

[Cheryl]

Getting ready to start . I hope it's as good as everyone says. I've been looking forward to reading this book for quite a while.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I'm like 60 or so pages in and so far it's harmless. (view spoiler)[ But Wen has an erection on page 9. Surely they could at least read the first 10 pages for goodness sake! (hide spoiler)]

That's not really a spoiler. It was just easier typing it in spoiler tags. Don't judge me!

[Megan]

I have been too busy to update my read books this month, and finally found time for it :)

Audio Books at Work

Current Audio books at Work next up

Currently reading (love Shelly Laurenston! second story is good so far too), , and

[Gwennie]

Well and the Wen/Step Mom thing is reoccuring through the book.

It wasn't terrible, no. But it was a bit more riske then the movie.

(view spoiler)[I love spoiler tags! (hide spoiler)]

[Kayleigh]

and . Then

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I don't think anything is wrong with it being in the book. It's a natural part of teenage boydom & so far it feels natural in the book. BUT shelved in the children section it could lead to some awkward conversations. Conversations that might be hilarious somewhere down the road.

[Theo]

It is near impossible for a librarian to read every book purchased for the library collection. At times, he/she will have to take the word of a reputable reviewing source or some other source to determine age-appropriateness. If after finishing the book, you still feel that the overall tone of the book is more appropriate for a young adult audience, I would suggest you bring your concerns to the librarian. He/she may appreciate your opinion, especially as it may prevent an "outraged parent" situation.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

This library is not very nice. I've tried to tell them in the friendliest way possible "Just so you know this isn't actually Sci-fi" and they just give me "you idiot" looks. Also, one of the girls who worked there used to glare at me every time I walked in the door. Don't know her from the man in the moon but she was always really really rude. REALLY.

I work for Girl Scouts and I've tried to coordinate with them before and they refuse to help anyone. They want to be the only game in town.

But they also have the best selection around.

I do plan to bring up Lemonade Mouth being YA to the librarian. But I might choose the South branch. They're nicer there than the main library.

[Theo]

That's very sad. As a librarian, it makes me very upset to hear about others in the profession not being helpful or polite. Honestly, with all the budget cuts going around, you would think a library would be working hard to make patrons happy, seeing as how local taxes and donations are what keeps them in business. Good customer service and community involvement should be the cornerstones of any public library.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I agree. The other library I'm a member of is smaller & doesn't have as much money (sadly) but they've offered to help Girl Scouts do anything I need. And they're always super nice and friendly.

I go to the bigger public library at least once a week and they've never asked if I need help. Recently they re-arranged (by recently I mean like 3 months ago now) they took down all the signs labeling sections so now you just have to guess where books are. I mentioned it once and they were like "haven't got around to that." When you check out they all stand around gossiping while there's a line waiting for 1 checkout counter, but 4 librarians behind the counter.

Sorry I should be quiet. This is a big can of worms that always makes me mad. I'm there ALL the time and they've never asked to help me and only once or twice made polite chitchat as I checkout. (South branch is an exception, they will chitchat with me)
