The Madness is Returning

That's right, as Spring approaches we gear up for March Madness again!

Last the most heroic character of YA literature battled the most villainous baddies in our second annual March Madness (Voldemort somehow defeated Percy Jackson).

This year we will be pitting YA genres against each other! Each week you will be asked to choose your favorite of two genres as well as your favorite book in those genres. You may vote as often as you like and we will hopefully have an online component for voting as well (both here and on the TAG facebook page!)

Here's a list of the genres that will be competing:

  • Steampunk
  • Fantasy
  • Dystopian
  • Historical Fiction
  • Realistic Fiction
  • Horror
  • Sci-Fi
  • Paranormal
Do you have a favorite? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!

DFTBA,
Sti

When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

 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!
