As an author (who happens to work in a fabulous school with amazing book loving kids), I couldn't resist creating a club dedicated to literature! Our club members discuss and rate covers and backflaps, play character charades, share fav book chapters, and rate/review books. Feel free to join our discussions, and become an online club member simply by following this blog. Happy Book Love!J.M.

Instead of sporting costumes today, we're to gather <b>after school on</b> <b>Wednesday, October 14th</b>, as our hero of choice. This will work better since an after school get-together will last longer than an afternoon greet. Parents, please sign your child's permission slip so they may attend.<br />
<br />
So... what did we do today?<br />
<br />
First off, we created an attention chant; it's super cool. Ready?<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I yell</span> "Whoop-Whoop!"</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Then Members</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">yell</span> "Books-Books!"</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We're brilliant!</div>

Next, everyone pulled a special book from the library's shelves which they would recommend to other readers in the school. We have our very own rack in the library! These cool favs are stickered with the club member's names who love them. We're spreading the book love :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I kind of cheated... I think I have four books on the rack...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This rack will be changed monthly, so if you're wanting something spectacular, but don't know where to start... <b>check out the I Love Books Club recommendations!</b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello fellow book lovers! You're visiting the info space belonging to Penson School's <i>I Love Books Club. </i>Here you will find much having to do with words, tales, new worlds, pages, authors, and anything you can possibly think up which has something to do with our bestie books!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are dedicated to good book karma, so there will be no bashing within our club. We aim to share the stories we love, and celebrate them through good old fashioned fun (you know... like costumes, play acting, art, music, and more).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yup; this ain't your average book club. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Word Up for the Book Love!</span>J.M. Lavalleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15340696587270642406noreply@blogger.com0
