Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel
Reviewed by Patricia
Saving Zoe is about a girl named echo and her sister Zoe. the year
before Zoe was brutally murdered while trying to become famous .
In the book Echo gets her sister's old boyfriend. In the diary Echo
really finds out who her sister really was.
saving Zoe taught me even thought someone very close to you passes
away you can still go on with life.
What I liked about the book is that it is related to people of all
ages but some parts are inappropriate so you should be at least twelve
before you read it. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for
a good summer read!
Alyson Noel has written amazing books you should read them!

moonKeeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen
Reviewed by Patricia
Keeping the moon is about a girl named Nicole aka Colie.
she and her mom were overweight and they both lost a lot of weight.
Colie still thought of herself as overweight.
her mom had to go on a exercise tour and had to send her to Colby to
live with her aunt Mira.
keeping the moon is about how Colie meets to people and is finally
able to accept herself
I liked this book because it taught me if you think you are beautiful you are .
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good summer book.

Nook vs. Kindle

Thought this was a good article for anyone exploring the idea of an ereader. I have a Kindle, which I will be able to use with our Downloadable books by the end of this year. Yeah! The Nook is already available for library lending and the new Nook Simple Touch seems so cool that we're giving it away as our grand prize for Adult Summer Reading.

So if you'd like the opportunity to win a Nook, sign up for Summer Reading at the Reference Desk upstairs. If you don't want to chance it, read the article below and decide for yourself.
