HIGHWAY CATS by Janet Taylor Lisle. I had HIGHWAY CATS on my list of books I had hoped to read before the Newbery announcement. I finished it today and it was a great read. I love lots about the book.
I got three Christmas cards this year. Usually I get somewhere between ten and twenty. This year I got three. And in a stroke of odd luck, all three cards arrived to my apartment on the same day. There was no spreading out of the Christmas cheer this year.I did not send out Christmas cards. I have no bothered to send out Christmas cards for at least a decade. Call me Scrooge, but I just fail to see the point. It takes up a lot of time. It costs money.

HIGHWAY CATS by Janet Taylor Lisle. I had HIGHWAY CATS on my list of books I had hoped to read before the Newbery announcement. I finished it today and it was a great read. I love lots about the book.
Here’s the Warner Bros. 2009 Film Preview. And woohoo that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" will finally hit theaters on July 17, 2009. "The Dark Knight" hits theaters — AGAIN! Zac Efron gets a chance to be young again in "17 Again" (uh, haven’t we seen that plotline in about 20 movies?), John Connor comes back in "Terminator: Salvation," Robert Downey, Jr. plays Sherlock Holmes, and Clint Eastwood is nowhere near retiring. He begins AND ends 2009 with new movies.
