Eva Montage

I show the kids at work how to do different things with photos and I always use Eva as my example. I've been wanting to put it all together in a slideshow for awhile. Animoto was so easy and fun.

August Reading Status

I'm definitely not going to make the September deadline for the 999 challenge, but I think I do stand a chance for the end of the year! I've read about 78 books this year, and 10 books this month. I've shuffled a few books into other categories. Here's my status by category:
Award Winners: Adult 0, Youth 1
Bio/Memoir: Adult 9, Youth 3
Classics: Adult 0, Youth 3
Historical Fiction: Adult 1, Youth 1
Graphic Novels: Adult 8, Youth 8
Mystery Adult: 9, Youth 5

Catchall Adult: 10, Youth 12

Biography/memoir Adult FINISHED--My Life in France, Split
Historical Fiction Adult--1916 (20th C)
Historical Fiction Youth--Luxe (19th C)
Mystery Youth (In Adult I'm reading mysteries from different countries, but it's too difficult to find for youth, so I'm just reading any mystery)--Case of the Left Handed Lady, Last Shot, I am the Messenger (pushing it in the mystery category, but I'm desperate!)
Fantasy Youth--Sabriel, Silverwing
Misc Youth--Dark Dude
