What to do with you kids in Montreal

Are you looking for something to do on the weekend but don't know where to go? If you live in the Montreal area, come to the library on May 13 at 7:00 p.m. to hear some suggestions on great places to go to with your kids.

Mockingjay book trailer - can you do better?

I really like looking for different things on the net. One thing that I find really interesting is the book trailers that come out. What really excites me is other people’s enthusiasm for an upcoming book that they make their own book trailers. Why wait for Scholastic when you can do your own. Mockingjay has created such a phenomena. You can find several different videos for various subjects on the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I have attached one from Hungergames.net. Do you think you can do better? Give it a try and post it on YouTube (don’t forget to let us know too).

Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr

We just received the newest book by Melissa Marr which is part of the Wicked Lovely series. If you have not have the chance to read Wicked Lovely, I encourage you to grab a copy. It takes place both in the real world and in the land of faerie. One special mortal is needed to become the summer queen. Once the summer king finds her, he has to convince her to join him. Along the way, we meet a fantastic cast of characters which brings us to Radiant Shadow. Radiant Shadows is not a sequel to Wicked Lovely but rather a companion novel. Melissa Marr wrote a similar companion novel – Ink Exchange- a few years ago which I dare say – much better than Wicked Lovely.

Come to the library to get these books. Be warned though – they are quite popular so they might be out. Don’t fret – you can always reserve them
