New music?! Are you crazy? That is classic Nirvana! I am culturing you children of the '90s.
Finish your home reading book soon, J. Holcomb. What are you planning to read next? What's on your Someday Book list???
I'll be there! Even though I don't have any points yet, I'm reading Chicken Boy and the Sarah Dessen novel Just Listen which should give me some points and then I'll read another and be there. :]] S.Ashley
I'm working on gathering some AR points, I have to test on some books I've finished. Hopefully I can start getting "on- the- ball" and reading more. E. Moles

However, I am trying to procure a hard back, so I may take off the dustjacket and replace it with a different one -- maybe one with tanks or bombs or something masculine. :-)
