Great titles! I am assuming that you’re a Judge for the Cybils. Now, THAT’s coolness. I’m sure you guys would have loads of fun.

Among the titles you have here, I am particularly interested with Fly Trap. Hmm, it must be the cover! Haha. Have fun reading!

Here’s my IMM:

And congratulations on your participation in the Readathon. I joined last April and had fun (except for the part where I never received the book prize I was supposed to get, but never mind that – I should quit whining hehe).

Great IMM this week. I’ve heard a little about the Relic Master books, but not really had the chance to check them out. Dragon Castle seems like it’s be pretty interesting too.

Here is my IMM for this week: IMM(4)

Oooh, I have The Dark City and The Time-Traveling Fashionista but I haven’t read them, so I’m really curious to see how you like those. You have so much CYBILS reading to do! I’d be completely overwhelmed, but it looks like you’re rocking it, so great job!

Great books this week! That’s awesome you are a judge for Cybils. Sounds like a cool experience. I read Time Traveling Fashionista-it was really cute. I have a copy of it in my classroom and my students enjoyed it too!

Yay library! I am finally learning to utilize mine. I know, I feel terrible for never going there. But I’m fixing that now!

I’ve read The Time Traveling Fashionista. Definitely young, but the illustrations are GORGEOUS. I hope you enjoy it more than I did :)
