Hi Eleanor!
We haven't been very good about keeping this blog up-to-date and relevant. I'd like to encourage more use of it.
How are you! I've been wearing those great fingerless gloves you made for me last winter. Everyone wants them, now. How is the college search going? Have you finished applying to your top choices?
Ida got into Smith early decision, which is really great. Great school, and where she seems to want to go.
We've been having some serious discussion about how to keep The Bookmarks alive and stimulating so a lot of ideas are being generated.
Books I have read lately and really enjoyed include: Atonement by Ian McEwan, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart by Deb Caletti, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, Jonny Magic and the Card Shark Kids: How a gang of geeks beat the odds and stormed Las Vegas by David Kushner.

Greetings!
i feel that since there has been no posting since october, it my duty to say something.
well, the most interesting news i have is that the library in my town (chatham, not northfield) is building a manga/graphic novel collection.
if any of you have suggestions for really good manga or anime or graphic novels, please send them my way. the more the merrier.

in other news the Iliad and the Odessey are very cool poems. and the book "Ithaka" by Adele Geras is very good.

oh, by the way, is the lord-of-the-rings-guy (Micheal Drout?) coming to speak at the library this year? and if so, when?

happy new year,

-eleanor
