Did you write a book review for one of your TSR Rocks! Choose 5 activities? We'd love to read it, so post it here!
Have you ever seen a book video trailer? It's kinda like a movie preview, only just for a book. Here's a one on the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgci5Z2ukOU And another great one on A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qPtH4vJregY
Speaking of movie previews, a bunch of teen librarians are GIDDY with excitement awaiting the release of Twilight as a movie on 12/12/08! Bella is being played by Kristen Stewart and Edward is Robert Pattinson (Cedric from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!) See the trailer here: http://twilightthemovie.com/ and watch a scene from the movie here: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?vid=237340

Choose 5 Activities!
Part of TSR is to choose 5 activities to do at home or at the library. One of those activities is to make a soundtrack for your favorite book. Did you do this activity? Please post your soundtrack to the blog, we librarians would love to read them! (So will other teens!)
I heard that one teen from Jeffersontown Branch Library not only made a soundtrack for his favorite book, Eragon, but he made a CD of that soundtrack. Louisville teens ROCK!
You, of course, don't have to make a CD! If you choose this activity, all you need to do is think of songs that would fit with the book you've chosen to create a soundtrack for; then list those songs on the inside of your TSR folder.
