What's happening in the library this week? Jane Austen Week. We will be watching Northanger Abbey, Austen's least known work. there will be prizes, food, and trivia. Join us every lunch period in the library for the week. ***UPDATE: I changed my mind at the last minute and I'm showing BECOMING JANE starring Anne Hathaway. I think the students will really appreciate Jane Austen much more after seeing it.

I havent gotten to Boys in the Boat yet, so I will await your review. I'm sure it's good. And a local read for you too, right?
ReplyDeleteI read THE BOYS IN THE BOAT last year for a book club and am reading this year in my other book club. The crew was from the University of Washington and the author is from our area here but the era was so different than out own it is hard to tell it was here except for the local landmarks mentioned. It is a tremendously good story.
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing The Boys in the Boat for a while, mainly because of all the great reviews it has collected. Also, I have been trying more and more non fiction, and it sounds highly interesting. And The Killing Woods sounds fantastic. I love my mysteries!
