The grass is always greener….

The Teen Edition section at the Harold Washington Branch of the Chicago Public LibraryHere are some of the fun books I discovered while browsing at the Teen Edition section of the downtown Chicago Public Library a few weeks ago.

The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl by Barry Lyga

Are We There Yet? by David Levithan

First Impressions by Marilyn Sachs

The Hoopster and Hip-hop High School by Alan Lawrence Sitomer

Downers Grove by Michael HornburgAstonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth GirlAre We There Yet?Downers Grove









I wrote down all of those titles while I was there, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that our library already owns them. I think it is fun to go “shopping” and “browsing” at bookstores, video rental places, in catalogs or online for books I might want to read, remember what looks new and cool and interesting, and then come back to check them out of our library!

What is your favorite place to browse new books or movies?

I like to check out my favorite bands websites to see what they are into lately. Like, Death Cab for Cutie http://www.deathcabforcutie.com/ have a list of links to their own favorite sites, and then from there I always end up finding something new and cool. Some of it is just their sponsors, but occasionally I find a gem.

Since I went to college this year and started really caring about the animals, I look to websites like the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals for reading suggestions. https://www.petacatalog.org/departments.asp?dept=126

I just finished The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl. It was a pretty good book. I would totally recommend the book if you want something fun and slightly serious to read.
