Our STABcast this week is of the creepy What happened to Cass McBride? by Gail Giles. This book is espcially for fans of CSI and shows of that type.

Our STABcaster, Leslie, even discussed this particular book at ALA when it was in Seattle which no doubt had a great deal with it making the Best Book for Young Adults 2007 list.

My little Daemon.

The Golden Compass movie is coming! And on the official website you can find out what your daemon is. Here is mine:

This week's STABcast

Our STABcast this week is Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill.

Problems, with the player? Try and listen to it from Twango.

Cry of the Icemark is available from KCLS in audio, large print, as a traditional book and also as an enhanced book (which includes a CD-ROM with maps, timelines and an author interview).

On a personal note, Cry of the Icemark was my favorite fantasy novel of 2005. Nonetheless, this review was not coerced from Jackie. (Though I probably would have paid her to give the book a favorable review.) In fact, this is all the payment Jackie will receive: Thanks for the review!

Our newest STABcast!

Our STABcast this week is a review of The Silver Donkey by Sonya Harnett .


Problems with the player? Try getting it directly from Twango.

Thanks, Chelsea, for providing the review.

Sorry, but I canceled the meeting for today, Tuesday, April 3rd. However, we will have 2 more meetings this month:

a STABBBYA Meeting on April 10th

and

a STAB meeting on April 17th

Both are from 4-6pm.

Hope to see you there!
