• Night World: Secret Vampire Part 7

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  There’s really not a lot of funny in a teenage girl dying.   Alana: Chapter 10 starts with Poppy setting her death scene, much to Phil’s horror. Liss: It’s lovely, but very teenage girl. Candles, ambient music Alana: I didn’t think any of the bands she mentions were real when I was a kid but RIGHT NOW I am ...

  So last night I was the Best Mom Ever and took my 12-year-old to a double feature of Twilight and New Moon.  Twilight started at nine, and New Moon started at midnight.  We got in at almost 3am, but that kid got up and went to school.  I wish I could say the same thing.  I have been sort of okay all day but now I ...

• I Know What You Did Last Summer 2

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  Not the sequel, just more thoughts on the book. I finished it up last night.  I’m a little surprised–after Sarah’s comment yesterday, I expected it to be more PTSD-y.  I have no idea what I mean by that.  I guess–and, duh, spoilers–that I expected the “bad guy” to be more of a mess and less of a ...

• I Know What You Did Last Summer

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  So the bf picked this up for his students at a library book sale and I couldn’t help but read it.  I made it to chapter 8 before I put it down–nothing against the book, really, but since I remember a lot of the details of the end, it’s not really drawing me in the way it used to.  Also, it’s getting way, way ...

• The, uh, whatever in books

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  I mentioned before briefly that I was reading Claudia and Mean Janine for one of my classes.  I didn’t actually get to say this outside the class’s discussion board, I think, but I was actually really impressed with the book during the reread!  There’s a lot going on, and even if some of the characters never ...

• Zoey Fools Around, Part 4

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  [ Editors note: As always, brought to you by Sarah . ] Imagine a movie montage done to Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out (for the Summer)” played backwards. That seems to pretty much be what’s going on here. Poor Zoey wakes up in Hell. Not only is it 6:21 in the morning, she also has to suffer the indignity of ...

• The Vampire Diaries: The Struggle Part 15: When you sulk, you die.

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  Welcome to the blessedly final installment of The Struggle , a book that at times was so bad it made a part of my soul die. When last we left Our Heroine, yesterday, she’d “triumphed” over her petty, shallow, priority-conflicted nemesis (they’re perfect for each other!) to…uh…not have her boyfriend run ...

• YA News Flash: Linger Cover and Excerpt Released

  
  On Our Minds @ Scholastic — Authority: 423
  A few months ago , I picked up a copy of Maggie Stiefvater s Shiver and found that I couldnt put it down. I was drawn in by the shifting narration, evocative writing, and general omg-ness of this angst-filled supernatural romance. And I wasnt the only one. Shiver became an instant bestseller and Unique Features ...

• Kicking off a month of writing, PLUS: 5 Questions with Lisa Ann Sandell

  
  On Our Minds @ Scholastic — Authority: 423
  November may conjure up images of turkeys and fallen leaves for many of us, but for about 120,000 people, it conjures up something else entirely: thirty days and nights of no-holds-barred writing, sans editing. In other words, complete literary abandon! November is National Novel Writing Month , or NaNoWriMo. ...

• The Vampire Diaries: The Struggle Part 14: Because “she stole my diary” are very hard words to say

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  Before we delve into all the wackiness that ensues the day of the festival, let’s discuss how reasonable or unreasonable it would be for ~*Elena*~ to say “Caroline stole my diary.” Reasonable: when in the room with the librarian. Unreasonable: when Caroline is at the podium during her reading. Why?  Because ...

  Bookslide III — Authority: 422
  Editor’s note: Starting NaBlo with a guest post seems like a cop-out, but this recap was long overdue! And this isn’t a rag on Sarah. Her copy of the book was missing for quite a while.

• Having a look at Everything beautiful

  
  Rhondda's Reflections - wandering around the Web — Authority: 121
  After my Inkys shortlist post I had a comment about  Simmone Howell suggested that I take a look at her novel, even though I work in a school populated by teenage boys. My comment about how powerful covers can be I think is relevant. Not one of our regular book suppliers brought this book in for us to have a look ...

  Rhondda's Reflections - wandering around the Web — Authority: 121
  The Inkys short list was decided a few weeks ago. These are all great books. The highlighted ones are those we have at our school and, although a couple of stories I liked have not made the cut, I am quite satisfied with those that have (I should say - Of those I have read, I am happy with their inclusion).   ...
