Heeeellllloooooooooo readers!

Here is our new book


(click on it to see the full picture)
The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman
ISBN 0060530928

It is a FABULOUS book about death, creepy things, gore, dead people, demons, goblins, monsters from the pit and dancing with the dead. A story of revenge and destiny. A story about Nobody Owens and The Man Jack.

It's a children's book people!

Go to the library and get your copy. It's probably going to be in the children's section. I think there should be more books like this written for kids. The Bed Wetting Society of America (BWSA) would have have so many new members. You can find their website here: BWSA

Also, Mr. Gaiman modeled his story off of Rudyard Kipling's 1894 work, The Jungle Book. Note: there are no dancing fat bears in this book. There are, however, similarities to The Jungle Book, moments of Awesomeness and words.

Some THOUGHTS, an OLD book, 2 NEW books & an ODD picture

1) Current THOUGHTS on "The Giver": Ok, ladies, I finished "The Giver" last night. (sorry to read ahead) What a zany place! They can't see or listen correctly and take "sedatives". Is the only difference between life here and life in the book, that the people who live that way today do it ON PURPOSE? Also, what is it about Eyes that keep a person from receiving memories? Why is it only the pale ones?



2) One "OLD" book: Here is Ashley's copy. Hard back & shiny from the Wash Borough Lib



3) 2 NEW books: I have two copies of our next book. I know this may be rushing it a bit ... but I thought I'd nab them from the Lib ladies while I had the chance.


4) Here is an ODD picture

The Giver, by Lois Lowry
