Aaand she has extended the challenge to her fans, so I will be trying to post an entry here every day this month... We'll see how it goes.

Okay, well not everything. But I can definitely name a few.. This is the newest awesome thing from the Big Apple. It's a list of all sorts of awesome (okay, maybe I should look through a thesaurus for some new words..*) books for teens from the teens at the New York Public Library. It's called Stuff for the Teen Age 2009 and it has books in different categories with lots of book talks by New York teens about the books. Check it out!

It's been a while since I've updated here and I apologize! I promise to make an effort to post more. Something to get you caught up, this Friday we had a Girl's Only Slumber Party here at the library. It was sooo much fun, 5 girls and I managed to stay up the whole night! Before the others fell asleep we played games, watched movies, painted nails, ate a lot of junk food, and did other slumber party type things. Below are some pictures from the night: The 6 troopers who stayed up all night! To reward you for reading this again after so long, a new ninja cat video!
