This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

Summary
When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds.

Then Graham finds out that Ellie's Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs?


Mrs. Lassley's Thoughts
When I started reading this book, I needed a fun book that was not too heavy. I needed light and fun, and this book gave me just what I needed. There is nothing unrealistic about this book and it blends family and first love with great characters and a great setting. Read this if you enjoy Sarah Dessen!

Catching Fire Video

As we get closer to the release of Catching Fire, I get more and more excited. Subway has teamed up with the movie and release a clip using a song from the soundtrack...total chills.

I cannot plug the video in, but here is the link. Enjoy!

Goodreads: Here is why it is awesome!

I have had a Goodreads account for many years now, but not until this year have I seen all that it can do. I love that I can connect with so many readers who love books as much as I do.

Here are some of the things I use it for:
-Goodreads will keep an online journal of all the books that I have read and suggest new ones to me.
-I can see what other people who are connected to me are reading and what they have to say about the books they have read.
-I can read reviews about books I plan on reading. (Keep in mind that these are not censored so there might be spoilers OR not appropriate language.
- You can sign up for giveaways for books from some awesome authors.
-You can follow authors and what books THEY are reading and also their blogs.

Right now it is time to vote for the Goodreads Books of the Year. Many of the catagories are not books that we have in the library, but there are four catagories made specifically for Young Adults!

So take a second to go and vote here, https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-books-2013 , and maybe look to see if Goodreads is for you.
