The Madness Begins....Again

Yep! March Madness strikes again!


If you've been in the library in the past week, you can't have missed the GIANT BLACK MONSTROSITY blocking your view through the library. I don't even know what to call it besides a wall. A wall made of fuzzy velcro-y material to which we can attach things. Anyway, I'm getting off topic.

Attached to said giant black wall is this year's bracket of YA books. We chose to go alphabetically first. So the first round pitted Airborn against Allegiant, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer against The Hobbit etc.

But that was last week. This week is EVEN HARDER. Seriously, I'm getting hives just thinking about having to choose between some of these books.

So here's the deal, all you have to do to help choose the winner is vote! We've got physical ballots conveniently located on the table in front of the aforementioned giant black wall and soon you'll be able to vote online as well! Stay tuned for more info!

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.
