Noble Bookworms – Funny Stories

June 29, 2017 / Mary / Children, Teens
0

It can be hard to identify “funny” books – there are so many different types of humor. A character can be snarky, sarcastic, or whimsical. The tone of a book can be dry, amusing, or downright silly. Certain chapters, characters, or sentences can make us laugh out loud or cringe in embarassment. Finding a book […]

Noble Bookworms – Historical Fiction and Sports

April 25, 2017 / Mary / Children, Historical Fiction, Sports, Teens
0

I’ve been slacking on our monthly book club round-ups, but, in reality, that’s good for you. It means this post is a two-for-one and is full of great reading recommendations!  In February we ventured into the past with historical fiction and in March we read several “winning” sports books. Check them out below and at your […]

The Best Book I Read Last Year

February 2, 2015 / Dana / Fiction, Teens
0

It may be a little late for a “Best of 2014” post (it’s right on time for awards announcements, though!), but I wanted to make sure I highlighted this book– my favorite YA of last year: I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. Nelson’s sophomore novel delivers. Her first book, The Sky Is Everywhere, is […]

BE EXCITED for These Books Coming Out in 2014

March 1, 2014 / Dana / Fiction, Teens
2

Dangerous by Shannon Hale – March 4 I love Shannon Hale’s books for children, and her fiction for adults is hilarious, so I expect her first book for teens to be fantastic as well. She’s stepping a bit outside her comfort zone with Dangerous, which is sci-fi/romance. It’s due for release on March 4th, but you can […]

Yet another reason to be on Tumblr– you can follow these authors and see what they are up to! The writers listed below all have personal blogs; you can send questions directly into their “ask” box and start a conversation,  hear book news right from the source, see fancasts of characters from the creators themselves, […]

Have You Met Peter Potamus?

August 22, 2013 / Mary Susan / Children, Picture Books
1

You may or may not know it, but the Heights Libraries children’s departments have a mascot… Peter Potamus is a hippo who lives in the Lee Road children’s room. Peter’s main duties are holding it down and keeping it real, and welcoming visitors to the children’s room. In the past, some people have mistaken Peter […]

Birthday Books

August 17, 2013 / Dana / Children, Picture Books

Who doesn’t like birthdays? Bear sure doesn’t. “I do not like presents. I do not like birthday cards. I do not like balloons. I do not like parties. I do not like BIRTHDAYS!” Bear shouts in the mid-grade title, A Birthday for Bear. I would disagree– birthdays are AWESOME! (And maybe bear will change his mind?) […]

Author Review: Maggie Stiefvater

June 25, 2013 / Dana / Fantasy, Fiction, Romance, Teens
2

The first book I picked up by Maggie Stiefvater was Shiver, a paranormal romance involving werewolves and Minnesota. I loved the Minnesota part (that’s where I’m from), but wasn’t too sure about the werewolves. When I finished the first novel, though, and picked up the second… then devoured that one and moved onto the third, I was […]

Book Review: Code Name Verity

April 4, 2013 / Dana / Fiction, Historical Fiction, Teens

Book cover for Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

 I can’t get enough of this book. I get tingles every time I even think about it. That kind of story deserves to be read, re-read, and recommended until I go senile and can’t even remember my own name– but will probably still remember how amazing this book was.  Code Name Verity, by Elizabeth Wein, is […]
