Hello BBers,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! As we look forward to a little festivity and presents to unwrap in the next week or two, we also want to take a moment to celebrate the great books of this year. Check out our consolidated list of great books of 2012. (Hopefully some of these great titles are already under your tree just waiting for you to rip into them.)
And let's not forget - Happy New Year! Time to celebrate the turning of the calendar (not the Mayan Calendar but the one leading us to 2013)! Throw the confetti and shake your noise makers, BookBundlz is looking forward to some great things in 2013! The Author contest will open in January... some great changes to the site are in the works... and look for a renewed energy and involvement in Literacy. Oh, baby, how does it get better than this? It is going to be like opening Christmas presents all year long!
Enjoy your Holidays, and get ready to rock it New Year's style all 2013!
Putting on our Santa suits and getting ready to dole out the fun,
All of us at BookBundlz

Literacy News:
Our Mission
Literature for All of Us brings the rewards of reading and writing through book group discussions to teen parents and other young people in underserved neighborhoods. We build communities of readers, poets, and critical thinkers. We develop family literacy by providing children’s literature and child development resources to teen parents. We open worlds by opening books.
Our Vision
We envision a future when all young people have opportunities that enable them to access their voices, write their stories, embrace meaning in their lives, and imagine possibilities for their futures. In safe environments, they have the support of responsible adults as they grow into caring and empowered individuals.

Oh, if the whole world could read, what a world it would be!

Cold Quiet Country
By Clayton Lindemuth
On his last day in power, with a blizzard threatening 18 inches of snow, Sheriff Bittersmith is called to the scene of a crime. A farmer has been stabbed clean through the neck with a pitchfork. Two sets of tracks lead from the barn, and the dead man's frantic wife exclaims her daughter is missing.
|
The Lawgiver
By Herman Wouk
As Wouk and his characters contend with Moses and marriage, and the force of tradition, rebellion, and reunion, The Lawgiver reflects the wisdom of a lifetime. Inspired by the great 19-century novelists, one of America’s most beloved 20-century authors has now written a remarkable 21-century work of fiction.
