Dear Librarian,

Yes!  Many writers also keep up a daily blog.  Here are a few of the best ones that I’ve found.

Laurie Halse Anderson
	Maureen Johnson
Scott Westerfeld
	E. Lockhart

This book, in the 25th Anniversary Edition, definitely looks interesting.  First, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy falls under two interesting genres: it’s both sci-fi and humor.  The plot is quite difficult to condense.  Basically, earth is about to be destroyed, but the main character, Arthur Dent, is saved before this happens by a strange friend named Ford Perfect.  What ensues is their crazy adventure through the galaxy.  According to a writer on Teen Ink, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy provides nonstop humor and entertainment for the mature (and sometimes immature) reader. Adams captivates readers with his zany writing style and keeps them coming back for more.”

What makes this edition so special, are the graphics, photos, and informational sidebars that accompany the actual novel.  It’s like visual and textual nonfiction mixed in with entertaining fiction which makes for a stunning book. 

We all love the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer!  And there is good news: there will be a fourth book entitled Breaking Dawn.  Its release will be on August 2, 2008.  Besides this good news, there is more: Twilight will also be a movie!  The release date is December 12, 2008.  Here’s the cast posted on MTV.com where you can leave a comment about each character.  Kristen Stewart will play Bella, and Robert Pattinson will play Edward.

There’s one more interesting aspect of Twilight that you might not know about.  Stephanie Meyer has started Midnight Sun–this will be Edward’s story…Click here to read the first chapter in its rough draft: “First Sight.”
