About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

September 19 -- International Talk Like A Pirate Day

 
Ahoy! matey's. AaRRR the day has finally come. The day to plunder your lockers for hidden eye-patches, to loot the classroom for buried treasure and dance the hornpipe when the bell rings. It's the day to let your raucous pirate self out before he/she get locked away down deep (Davie Jones locker deep) until next year.
 
Here's a listing of some fabulous piratey books. Grab one and get inspired.
