Post-Thanksgiving Post

:) Did you like my pun there? I love bad jokes.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did, I love cooking with my mom, I love eating, I love taking family pictures, I especially LOVE cranberry sauce and PIE, and I even kinds love washing dishes (don't laugh!) so Thanksgiving is pretty much an ideal holiday for me. This year it was also my grandma's birthday so I got to talk to her on the phone for an hour. Well...maybe talk isn't the word I should use, listen is better since my grandma likes to ramble on and on. Remind you of anyone you know? :)

Leave a comment to tell me about any fun traditions you have on Thanksgiving? My sister reenacted the funny commercial where the grandpa eats a scoop out of the pumpkin pie and then fills it in with cool whip!

Hope everyone also survived the insanity of Black Friday! I ventured out late that evening when it had died down, but I didn't buy much, just an awesome cd and my sister bought a wonderful documentary:

awesome cd and inspirational documentary check 'em out!

Okay, back to book related stuff! Meg Cabot posted this link in her blog, it's really helpful when you're looking for a new author to read, just type in an author you like and it gives you a cluster of other authors that are similar. The closer the author is to your author's name, the more similar. Personally, I just like watching the names dance around! :D http://www.literature-map.com/

I've missed you guys and can't wait to see you!

I absolutely love Matt Nathanson! "Still" is now one of my favorite songs ever!

Uh,Sti? Isn't it your grandmothers b-day EVERY year? And is the person we're supposed to be reminded of rambling on and on you? Hmm, I dunno. You don't ramble... most of the time. I like pie too! I didn't go shopping on Black Friday... I went on Black Thursday! Tee hee, that was a bad joke. I meant I went the day before Thanksgiving. I do like your pun. Taa! Julie!

Julie, you're right my grandma's birthday is every year, but it doesn't always fall on Thanksgiving! :) Glad to hear I don't ramble on too much...

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite!

I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti

First Blog Ever!

Well, this is the launch of the new Friendswood Library Young Adult Blog. I chose the name Book Bag after looking at the names of some other libraries' blog titles, but if there is a better name out there, let me know! I created this blog primarily so you can find out what activities are coming up for the 11-16 age group here at the library. I'll be posting brief descriptions of our activities, photos, book reviews, and other interesting things that I happen to see. In recent news: the TAG Christmas party was December 8, and everyone worked together to make it a success. Thanks to all the hardworking volunteers! We ate holiday snacks, sang Christmas karaoke, and had a snowball fight outside! Check out the library's Flickr site for all the pictures. We're taking a brief break during the Christmas holidays, but we'll be starting up again on January 11 with personalizing snack dishes to use every week. Instead of throwing away bowls and cups after our Fr...
