Patricia Wrede at ACPL
Patricia Wrede, author of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Dealing With Dragons, etc.), Thirteenth Child, and many more, including several fantasy titles for a broader (i.e. older teen to adult) audience, will give a presentation in Young Adults’ Services at the Main Library this Saturday, November 7, at 10:00 am.
She won’t be doing any book signing during her ACPL visit, but if you want to get a book signed, you will have the opportunity at this event to get a coupon for Saturday admission to PentaCon (November 6-8 at the Grand Wayne Center) for just $6, thanks to the PentaCon organizers – a real bargain compared to the normal $18 one-day admission. At PentaCon, Patricia Wrede will have another presentation AND a book signing on Saturday afternoon, and you’ll also be able to check out the dealer area for the latest cool games.

Get Candy!
If you are at Main Library today, stop by Young Adults’ Services. We’ve got some candy for you.
Just leave a comment on this post telling us the name of a scary book or movie you like and why you like it. If you don’t like scary stuff, you can get candy too. Just say what type of book or movie you recommend instead of the scary stuff.
Happy Halloween!
Mari
PS. Don’t forget to stop by Main Library tomorrow for our Day of the Dead program. Day of the Dead is not scary; it’s a traditional holiday honoring deceased loved ones. We’ll be making pocket shrines; bring a small picture of a deceased person you miss if you’d like to take part.

Miami Shark – Game
I have a lot of love for this game. Basically you’re a shark and the whole goal is to attack as many things as you can in the allotted time. Nothing brightens up my day more than bringing down an airplane with a shark. What’s your high score?
