MORE POSTS FROM DECEMBER 2013
The last 3 blogs of the 12 Blogs of Christmas – though certainly not the least – are brought to you by Robin. Robin joined us earlier this year to add a school librarian perspective to TLT. Plus, we like her. Blog #10: Terrible Minds Chuck Wendig is the author of numerous adult novels and […]
Blog #9: The Daring Librarian One of the blogs I adore, and one of the people that I completely admire and hope to be like one day is The Daring Librarian. AKA Gwyneth Jones, she is one of the most vibrant people online that I follow, and has awesome energy and creativity- and when I […]
Blog #8: Women Write About Comics (Seriously, a lot) I adore comics. I mean, seriously love them. I read them, I watch movies made from them, I follow story lines and alternate time lines and research them. Gail Simone and other female comic writers are personal heroes of mine.

This is Heather’s final blog in the 12 blogs of Christmas, and it is Blog #6: BookBlather I met Drea of BookBlather briefly at ALA this summer and she brings the same energy and perceptiveness to her blog as she did when wrangling a slew of teens into the city and up onto the dais […]
Blog #5: Make It @ Your Library All I really feel like I have to say about Make It @ Your Library is… how freaking cool is that?! I swear these people are listening to my thoughts. How many times have you said, “I need a list of maker programs that take about an hour. […]
Tagline: Harmless pranks or murder games? Publisher Annotation: The first time she is blindfolded and kidnapped, star-athlete and posh boarding school newbie Sadie is terrified.
