Isn’t it weird how quickly Mondays come along? Sometimes it seems like there are two Mondays per week, doesn’t it? I mean really, it couldn’t be Monday again… could it? But it is! And between last Monday and this Monday, big things were a happenin’! Like the Olympics started on Friday! And the movie Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief opened in theaters! And I have a whole stack of really good books to read! (Plus, it won’t stop snowing! Which leads to shoveling. Which leads to not having time to go to the movies, watch the Olympics on television, or read my stack of books! Grr!!) But now I’ll share my pain by sharing some really interesting books that were recently entered into The Reading Room! (Then you’ll have to make some hard choices too! Like: should I shovel? Or should I read? Or should I go to the movies *and* make time for the Olympics?)
Fallen by Lauren Kate
The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw
Dial H for Hitchcock by Susan Kandel

Good luck making your tough choices! And if you come up with a clever solution on how to get it all in before next Monday, please let me know!
