March Madness Results!

I know that March Madness has stretched pretty far past March, through April and into May, but there were so many excellent contenders that it just turned out that way.

We started with 32 pairs of characters from different YA books and each week I challenged you to choose your favorite between the two. It was no easy task. Some hearts were broken. I had to break some ties, because you all equally loved some characters. It was difficult but so fun to see who got to move onto each new round as I tallied the votes on Tuesday nights.

And I'm excited to announce our final champion! Drumroll please....

Annabeth Chase!
  That's right, daughter of Athena, architect of the remodeled Mount Olympus, and long suffering girlfriend of a certain seaweed brained demigod is this year's winner of the YA March Madness! 

Have you read The Mark of Athena yet? If you have, come talk to me about! And are you excited about the Sea of Monsters movie?

Now. What should our theme be for next year's March Madness?

DFTBA,

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: ...

Reading Rainbow-Hair

A few months ago I decided (with the help of several teens) that I wanted to make my own booktube channel of youtube and now it's a reality! If you don't hang out in the bookish community on youtube I'll explain, booktube is basically what it sounds like. Youtube channels dedicated to people reviewing and talking about books. Lots of them focus on new YA books but really people read across all genres. That's what I want to do. I'm a Youth Services librarian, so I read and love a lot of YA books, but I also read didn't genres/age groups etc. and I'm going to talk about all of them on my channel. BUT I won't just be talking about books by myself, some episodes will feature guests stars! First though, I recapped my favorite books from 2014 in two episodes (I talk so much we had to cut it in half). Watch them! Do all those nice things you can do to a youtube video: Like, Comment, Share, Subscribe! Stay posted for more! DFTBA, Sti
