Happy last days of 2008!

As all the other blogs have been saying, 2008 really has been quite a year, but we made it through Hurricanes and all. :) I hope you're all having a great holiday, just know that I'm terribly bored and lonely without you!

Christmas has come and gone but I definitely still have the holiday spirit in my heart and I'm excited about ringing in the New Year tomorrow! Does anyone have special plans? Tell me about them and a super cool Christmas Pez Dispenser could be your prize!

As the New Year draws to a close, I wanted to make a list of my favorite books that came out this year, this will be hard since I can't really think of anything I've disliked so far... :)

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare (sequel to City of Bones and the third City of Glass is out in March!)
Paper Towns by John Green
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
and
Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson

There are many other books I've read this year that I would also count, but these are the ones that were published in 2008.

Now I want to hear what your favorite books of this past year were! Let me know in the comments, I'll be featuring your lists here as the New Year starts to roll out

Cheers!

Hi! For my New Year's, one of my friends who's b-day is in early Jan, she's having a new Year's/B-day party! Yea! we had a lot of fun and stayed up till 4:00! (about that time. Maybe later for some, earlier for otheres) My favorite book: Artemis Fowl:The Time Paradox. Do you remember the poster I made, Sti? I love this book, but before you read it, you have to read the other books in the series first. I don't know what other books came out last year (I originally put this instead of last, and I have to keep reminding myself it's 2009!) that I liked, but Inkheart,Inkspell,and Inkdeath(which I haven't read yet because I still have it on hold!) are awesome, but mabye only Inkdeath came out this year but I don't know. Sooo... do I get the super cool Christmas Pez Dispenser?
Does it come w/ Pez? Thank you! (if I get it.)Well, I'm signing of before I write a novel!Bye!

I saw this quote today:"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." I thought was awesome and a good idea.Good-bye again!

Zaki Con 2019: Cosplay Contest!

By
The final event  of Zaki Con is our cosplay contest. I assume you're familiar with cosplay if you're reading, but just in case you aren't: cosplay is " the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime." And anyone can do it! Young and old alike are adorable when dressing as their favorite characters from books, movies, and anime! At Zaki Con, we want to see your interpretation of cosplay! You can enter as one person or as a group (though groups will have to share prizes if they win). All you have to do is come dressed as your favorite character. Since Zaki Con is a family event and it is held in the public library, all costumes must be appropriate for our setting and audience! Entries will be judged by a panel of judges from the library and the community. We look forward to seeing your cosplays during the Con and at the contest which will be held at 5:00pm on Saturda

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

By
 1. Gather supplies.  2. Unwrap one length of duct tape and carefully set plastic bag on top. Go slowly so there are no air bubbles in the duct tape! 3. Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
