In General

I’ve got a long post coming. I have a Crazy Colored Summer List to create and such wonderful suggestions to choose from!  I have lots of stuff I’ve been reading on Twitter and more I’ll read when I catch up on my Google Reader. I FINALLY got a new shipment of books and came home with copies of Fly Girl, someday this pain will be useful to you, retaliation, Dark Dude, The Door of No Return, Secret Keeper, Miles from Nowhere and Life is Funny.

But, tonight I’m tired. It’s been such a long week that I’m vegging between the DVR and blogosphere. One very interesting thing I can mention is that our dear Oprah mentioned on today’s show that she and Tyler Perry are now the executive producers for “Precious“. She said there will be a big announcement in the fall, I don’t know that that’s about. I do know that book sales for Push (which was getting more and more difficult to find) will skyrocket (probably with a new Oprah cover). I want to get excited, then I think of all the books by authors of color that are NOT on Oprah’s teen reading list. (Sorry, I’m not linking to it, I’ve done enough to promote it.)

Let’s just chill and get a free comic!

  1. I’ve been on Oprah’s site and complained about the lack of color.

    I can’t keep Push on my shelf. I have two copies and it is always checked out.

    Life is Funny is really good. It was also popular the first year I put it on our shelves. With one of our girls, it set of a pretty good reading spree. Have you read it yet, heard about it? I really enjoyed and it works with older middle schoolers through high school. I’ve heard of Flygirl but not the others. Will check them out.

    Excited to hear about your summer reading list. I’ll be sharing it. I have twitter but haven’t been active. You’ll have to let me know how to get in the loop.

    Peace,

  2. I haven’t heard of Life is Funny? Will have to look that one up. Will you read all the new books before you put them in circulation? We have a lot of copies of Push in stock. I’ve never seen it on a summer reading list.
