Weekly Round-Up 11/22

Weekly Round-Up is my wrap-up of last week's activities and includes what I'm reading this week, reviews I've posted, books in the mail and anything else of interest plus From the Library, my weekly listing of what I've checked out from the library.

This week I'm reading The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (Meyer), Tennyson (Blume) and The Moonstone Castle Mystery (Keene) and listening to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Rowling) and A Season of Gifts (Peck).

Last week I read Crime Wave at Blandings (Wodehouse) and The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes (Keene) and The Clue of the Dancing Puppet (Keene).

I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I too last week.

The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney

Some schools have honor codes.
Others have handbooks.
Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds.Themis Academy is a quiet boarding school with an exceptional student body that the administration trusts to always behave the honorable way--the Themis Way. So when Alex is date raped during her junior year, she has two options: stay silent and hope someone helps her, or enlist the Mockingbirds--a secret society of students dedicated to righting the wrongs of their fellow peers.
In this honest, page-turning account of a teen girl's struggle to stand up for herself, debut author Daisy Whitney reminds readers that if you love something or someone--especially yourself--you fight for it.
