Hunger Games: Jennifer, Liam and Josh
So, it's official: Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone) will star as Katniss; Liam Hemsworth (Last Song) will play Gale; and Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are All Right) will portray Peeta. Plenty of folks are torn over the casting, including a few teen librarians here at SCLS. What do you think? Are they the right actors for the roles? Who would you like to see cast?

Gossip Girl Mash-Up
Gossip Girl author Cecily Von Ziegesar is jumping on the mash-up bandwagon this fall. She is giving her popular series a new twist by making the main characters serial killers. Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer will be a tongue-in-cheek look at "beautiful, rich girls who supposedly have everything-but they go crazy, and sardonically, killing becomes a competition between them," according to the publisher. The new book will come out in October.

If you thought the January snow storms were bad ...
try reading Michael Northrop's "Trapped" about a group of kids snowed in at school for a week! Coming out in February after the country's snowy-est January in decades - makes this a timely tale and quite the coincidence for the author. Read this new book someplace warm and let us know what you think.
