Warning: Totally Graphic Content Ahead!

Have you ever browsed through the Anderson Public Library's extensive graphic novel collection? Wait...you want to know what a graphic novel is? You're not alone--simply put, graphic novels are novels that are written with text and illustrations rather than simply words. They are NOT picture books! They are so much more than that--don't believe me? Then come on down and see for yourself. We've even provided some comfy chairs for reading. See you there!

Thanks Mrs. Wildman!

A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Wildman at North Side Middle School--she and her seventh graders invited me to their classes for booktalk mania! Here are the titles I brought:

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

Swallowing Stones by Joyce McDonald

Vampirates by Justin Somper

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Thanks again to everyone! I had a great time, blizzard or not!

Go Colts!!

Last night, our Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI, beating the Chicago Bears 29 to 17! To Coach Dungy and all the Colts (and their fans,) congratulations! For all of you who didn't get to watch the game--or the commercials--check out the links above!
