January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by reading some great YA books that feature dogs? If you are like me, you love dogs and want to spend more time with them because they just get you. This awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues, read a few good books, maybe go out and adopt a new dog, or if you already have one start taking him/her out for more walks. It's a fun way to get out of the house and your dog will love you for it! Here is a list of YA books that will have you begging for more! Last Chance by Norah McClintock In this charming YA novel by Norah McClintock, the main character Robyn is scared of dogs—like, really scared. But she agrees to spend her summer working at an animal shelter anyway. (It's a long story.) Robyn soon discovers that many juvenile offenders also volunteer at the shelter—including Nick D'Angelo, a boy from Robyn's past. A boy she hoped to never see again. Ni...
I love to write, it is one of my favorite things to do. I am a librarian so I am an avid and natural born researcher. I am also very passionate about weird and wacky things and love the history of folklore and legends. I have a master's degree in Consciousness Studies, so I have a strong background in psychology, philosophy, and dream studies. My thesis for this degree was all about the history of fairy folklore and the origins of the dark fairy Morgan LeFay. I love poetry and literature and enjoy reading very much. I'm very in tune with the young adult world and have been a teen librarian for many years. I have so many ideas that I could write about.
Right now I am very interested in researching Urban Legends. I feel that these legends are interesting, upbeat, and engaging for teen readers. I think it would be great to write about different legends each week and find out more why these legends are important and how they relate to teens in today's world. I also think it would be really cool to come up with craft ideas that relate to the legends. One urban legend that always sticks with me is the one about the lady with the beehive hairdo that ends up having a spider's nest in her hair! It would be great to pair that story up around Halloween time with a creepy spider's nest craft.
I think researching urban legends will help to find the answer to whether urban legends are important to teens. I will further this idea as we progress each week.
