Mark Your Calendar: At the Movies

Yes, I love to read. But if I’m going to be honest, I love going to the movies and watching TV almost just as much. They are, to me, another version of storytelling and if it has a good story, then I’m on board. And as someone who constantly has to come up with programming […]

Movie Review: Divergent

One of the book-based movies that I’ve been looking forward to this year, That Guy and I met up with some of my former workers and a bunch of my teen volunteers to see Divergent opening weekend. Our group was a very mixed bunch- some of us (myself included) had read the entire trilogy, while […]

ARCS to Movie DOUBLE GIVEAWAY!!!

March 25, 2014 by Karen Jensen, MLS

  It’s no secret that I adore book based movies. (Really, who doesn’t?) I’ve gone opening night to both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, and I saw Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. I really liked Beautiful Creatures (once I let go of the fact that it was based on the book). I’ve seen both […]

Readers Advisory: World War Z and Israeli Female Soldiers in Teen YA

July 3, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

A friend and I went and watched World War Z over the weekend. I haven’t read the book by Max Brooks (all of the copies in our system have been “lost” for a while now, so unless I go out and buy it for myself I won’t be able to) but I enjoyed the movie- […]
