Happy Sunday! Welcome to this week's edition of my weekly round up in the stacks. I am so excited about this week, because a few surprises arrived this week! First I wanted to share a picture of what I've been doing this week. I'm a member of my kid's school's PTA Board, which along with their school's librarian, we run the Scholastic Book Fair. I feel lucky to co-run the book fair with a friend of mine who's also a member of the PTA Board, and has been doing the book fairs for a few years now. Here's a picture of what we've been doing the past two weeks:
We've been eaten, sleeping, and breathing book fair. Needless to say we've had a lot of fun, put in numerous volunteer hours, and sold countless books. In the process we've also got books into various classrooms, helped out our kid's school library, and helped Scholastic, who supports All For Books will be matching every dollar our school donates to this charity. Which is AMAZING! You can read more about the fair and the see the goodies I purchased for it here.
Here is what I've received for review the past two weeks: (not everything is pictured here)
