Cafe Library is up and running again!We are going to read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I've read this book already and it's GREAT! Marina asked for this to be our first book club book this year, and of course I said YES! She has also agreed to lead the discussion. YAY!

Every Day by David Levithan for January

Every morning "A" wakes in a different person's body, in a different person's life, learning over the years to never get too attached, until he wakes up in the body of Justin and falls in love with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon.

November Cafe Library Book

Cafe Library will meet on Tuesday Nov. 26th to discuss Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick. Summary: "Alex, a resourceful seventeen-year-old running from her incurable brain tumor; Tom, who has left the war in Afghanistan; and Ellie, an angry eight-year-old, join forces after an electromagnetic pulse sweeps through the sky and kills most of the world's population, turning some of those who remain into zombies and giving the others superhuman senses." So far, the reaction to the book is good. There is a MAJOR cliff hanger at the end...but this is a trilogy so you will want to read the next book! BTW, LMHS has copies of Shadows and Monsters, the next books in the series.
