Twilight Teen Book Discussion

You can read my thoughts on our recent Teen Book Discussion on the programming blog. We were thrilled to death (no pun intended) by the turnout. Eight girls all raring to discuss all aspects of this four book series. Who knew it would take vampires, werewolves and a klutzy teenage girl to get the kids to participate in a book discussion. Believe me 8 was a triumph.

We're going to capitalize on their enthusiasm and revisit Twilight in January 2009 and compare the book to the movie.

Meanwhile we have a Teen Book Discussion scheduled for October for Teen Read Week. Teens are invited to bring their favorite book and campaign for it to be voted most popular. We thought we would have some other categories to vote on. I'm looking for suggestions for favorite first line in a Young Adult book. If anyone reads anything unusual or knows of any catchy first lines I'd love to hear from you.

This is what I do on my own time

You may be seeing me wear this at work.

Solved LibraryThing widget issue

My previous issue with the LibraryThing widget not looking the way I planned it was a problem with my template. Changed template and voila--widget obeys me.

Zoho document and work email

I was learning Zoho and created an outline for my Twilight book discussion and shared it by email with my partner for the book discussion via our system email. I sent it to myself and to my supervisor just for fun. No one got it. So I sent it to my home email. No problem, there it was instantly.

Has anyone else tried this? Do we have a firewall issue here blocking Zoho documents?

Twilight

Calling on all Twilight readers. What did you like about the book?

The boss and I are leading a teen book discussion on 8/19. Would love to hear positive ideas about the series.

So far no one has asked to sign up but it's early yet for teens to commit.
