Shiver

I finally read Shiver, the prequel to Linger. It did explain some of the things mentioned in Linger, but not all.
All in all I think Linger is the better book.  Had I read Shiver first, I don't thing I would have read the sequel.  However, I can't wait until the third book in the trilogy, Forever, comes out.

Glogs

Last Friday, Monday (today), Tuesday, and Wednesday I am  introducing glogs to the classes of one of the ELAR teachers.  The kids really like it.  It was surprising  to learn  that none of the students had ever heard of glogs before. I also sent out overdue notices for local and foreign patrons. I would like to clear up the books before Christmas break..

Linger (Book Review Correction)

I just found out that Linger is a sequel to the book Shiver and Forever  is the sequel to Linger. I am now off to fine a copy of the book Shiver and hopefully Forever.

Linger (Book Review)

I found the book to be a delightful read.  The rewriting of the werewolf thing was a little refreshing.  The book focused more on a scientific view - trying to determine why the shift from human to wolf occurs. I was a little upset because some of the events that occurred in the book were never fully explained.  For example, under what circumstances was the heroine bitten, why was she left in the car by her parents, what happened to the parents of Sam, etc. I smell a sequel.

Equipment

When I was out because my niece had surgery, one of the teachers helped himself  to one the the TV/DVD/VHS combos.  I had no clue who took it. I waited for about a week for the TV to be returned.  Needless to say it was not. After talking with one of the ladies in the main office, we decided that a school wide announcement was to be made at the end of the day stating  that the TV was missing. That same morning I was  talking to one of the teachers who had come down to get a video, I complained that one of the TVS was missing and I didn't know who took it.  He sheepishly admitted that he had the custodian open the equipment room so that he could get the TV.  I had a talk with that custodian.

Apologies

The teacher brought the very contrite students into the library and one by one they apologized.  If you have been in the library when they came in, you would have thought that I dreamed the whole thing up.  The students she brought in were the exact opposite of the students that came to class that Friday. Oh well, its good to know that students still respect their teachers.

Well, its Monday morning. I went downstairs to talk with the teacher whose class I held on the Friday we got out for Thanksgiving. She assured me that her class never acts that way with her.
Maybe not, but when the class isn't afraid of security, I wonder. Anyway, she said that she was going to bring them down to apologize and that she was going to remove each of their names from the field trip list. I can't wait until 8th period to see how they act and what they say. I'll blog about it later.
