I finally finished The Last Olympian. That took for freaking ever. Crazy since I really like Percy Jackson and his friends (and family.) Can I just say, I really liked the end? I did! I liked the end of this book and the end of this particular series. Now onto Riordan’s new series… I’ve heard it’s better than Percy Jackson… I find that hard to believe.
The beautiful new Glenview Public Library is nearing completion. We will be closed Sunday, September 5 through Friday, October 8 while we move. During this period, neighboring libraries will welcome Glenview Library patrons. Join us for an opening celebration Saturday, October 9, 1-5 pm.
I won’t even be here for the grand opening – I’ll be in San Francisco for BlogHer Food.

Once again, I have to give Sassymonkey credit for recommending a GREAT book. Sisters Red was AWESOME! Retelling a fairy tale is tough but Jackson Pearce did a beautiful job with Rosie, Scarlett, their woodsman and their wolves. Brilliant work. Brilliant storytelling. I’ve always been a fan of Little Red Riding Hood – but forget that, just tell your kids the story of Rosie & Scarlett instead.
I finally finished a book – yay me! It wasn’t the book, Wild Ride, that was the problem – it was me and my schedule. When I’m crazy busy, I don’t read. I’m too busy or too tired to read. I just want to do mindless things like playing some dumb puzzle game on my iPad… or sleep. Sleep is good. Really good. I need to do more sleeping. And more reading. Anyway, Wild Ride.
Jennifer Crusie and her sometimes partner in crime Bob Mayor – fun! Maybe not quite as fun as Agnes and the Hitman, but close. Very close. I particularly loved the ending (which will shock sassymonkey!) Sometimes a demon just needs a little compassion and humanity tossed at him/her… you still can’t trust those demons but you can work with them.
Also… this one made me want to go to an amusement park, and that’s pure crazyness because I really hate amusement parks.
By the way, Crusie has a new solo book coming out soon… I just saw an email in my inbox offering me a review copy. Woohoo!
