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!
I finished Captivate a few days ago and forgot to blog it. I’d kind of like to forget the book in general because that is SO not the way the storyline was supposed to go! And the ending… cliffhanger hell. I suppose that’s the way to get teens to come back for more. But sheesh.
Pixies. Weres. Valkyrie. Elves.
Next book, we’ll throw some Gods into the mix and we’ll finish this thing, right? Right????
I really wanted to read The Knife of Never Letting Go – but I couldn’t do it. I hated the boy from the very first page – and I had high hopes that I’d like him better once he met the girl but TW said it gets worse. I just couldn’t bring myself to read it at all last week during my vacation. So – I took it back to the library, along with its sequel. I just couldn’t read it.
