Random-ness

Tweet-ish random thoughts (I guess, sort of)

I have finished my term as a club pres and NO ONE else wants the job.  Neither do I.

I am jealous of my sister who is so enthusiastic about her job - at which she is excellent, btw.

The Battle of the (Kids') Books starts tomorrow.  Check out the contenders and make your prediction HERE!!!  Here are my personal favorites for this year. (Since Suzanne Collins' Chasing Fire is not even mentioned, I will take a deep breath and plow right in.)  The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate,  or  When You Reach Me,  or A Season of Gifts.   I have to be honest.  I did not read all the books on the slate.  I did not read any of the non-fiction.  Nor did I read Fire by Kristin Cashore, or The Storm in the Barn.  I promise to read those books as soon as they come back to the library.  (and Marcelo in the Real World and two others.  I am sooooooooooooo embarassed.)  This would not have been a very good Tweet.

Still on BO(K)B:  Tales of Outer Suburbia  is a real contender and Peace, Locomotion was touching and true.  Fight on great books for young people!  ON to victory!  But I stand by my top three.  (Unless I read some of the others and change my mind.)

Back to randomness:
Why is housework so darn boring and so necessary?

I think I would totally stink at Twitter.
