A Bookish Thursday
28 January 2010
Random publicity note: If you’re doing Out with the In Crowd for a book club, it’s now listed on TeenReads.com with discussion questions. Which is also a pretty cool source for those who run teen book clubs. I noticed on the Out with the In Crowd page, there’s an ad for the whole Skylar series. Seems like maybe that would serve me better on a different page. I mean, if you’re already looking at the book… But I’m no advertising genius. And it likely does show up on other pages. Anyway. Pressing on.
Speaking of books (I know it’s not Friday, but I could talk about books on here daily), McKenna and I went to Story Time yesterday at our local Barnes and Noble. The guy read a book called Dinosaurs Love Underpants that I thought was totally darling. McKenna might have to own that book just so I have the joy of reading it myself.
I had been nervous about taking McKenna because there was no target age listed on the flier, and I thought 2 might be younger than they aimed. Instead, she was the oldest. I’m always fascinated at Story Time by parents who just let their kids crawl all over the place. Like, I get that kids need to wiggle and move, but if McKenna was the type to crawl across the stage thingy and distract all the other kids, we just wouldn’t go. Or we’d sit in the back. (Later said kid fell off one of the benches and conked his head with a loud ga-lunk that made everyone cringe.)
That’s all I’ve got for today. Off to peruse the TeenReads.com web site and add to my to-read list…
(P.S. When I did that, I discovered The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt ad is also on the main page, so, uh, yes, it _does show up on other pages.)
And that would be why Rowyn does NOT go to Story Time. I think it’s a boy thing . . .
