We Came, We Saw, We Talked, We Stalked: Christie’s ALA Highlights

We Came I had a blast at ALA Annual in Chicago. Buses and transportation got a little weird, but I loved the energy with the Blackhawks celebration and the Pride Celebration and everything else going on. So much fun!

The Twitter Chat Review: Diversity in Legend by Marie Lu, cohosted by author David James

So, I read (actually I listened to) Legend by Marie Lu for last night’s Diversity chat hosted by author David James.  You always hear great things about this series, but I had not yet read it.  To be honest: It was amazing.  The Goodreads synopsis of Legend states: What was once the western United States […]

March 1, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS
