    Wondering: Could you begin a "discussion" on the FB page to share
    eBook reading suggestions? Agreed +Lynette Young Librarians really rule :) Lots of great programs, things for children and also teens — great, cool things! Our library system has ebooks, too. IKWYM RE: getting a library card. Took going back to the library with our children to re-up on one. Enjoy!

    Oh man, I don't even know where to start! First, the Portland Public Library, my local main branch, is social-media-savvy, but what I follow more closely are the Portland Library Teens accounts, since my brother frequents their teen center. +Justin Hoenke is one of the most amazing people I've met since returning to Portland – so passionate about the teens, the library, and just an all-around rad human being.
    I also renewed my San Francisco library card literally the day before I moved back to Maine do I could continue to check out their ebooks and audiobooks. Definitely a great way to discover new favorites before buying.
    Books: Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series. YA fantasy that grows with the readers, the stories are fun, clever, and super engaging. For a higher reading level but still technically YA fantasy due to the adolescent protagonists, Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus trilogy (Amulet of Samarkand is the first, I believe).
    LOVED The Weird Sisters – are you connected with Eleanor Brown on Twitter? She's down to earth and fun and engages with her readers. Adore her.
    Finally, what lip gloss are you wearing, because I need it.

    I just did a double-take. Even since I've moved, I still hold my card. They let me keep it when they realized I was keeping a New Jersey address with Mom but leaving the country for Sweden. :)
    Glad they are here!

    +Kirsten Griffith I'm connected with Eleanor Brown, her partner is a really good friend of mine – he's a writer also. (That's how I first found her.)

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'm putting them in my list!! I have an Audible subscription so I get audiobooks quite often, and between that and +Podiobooks.com – Serialized audio books I'm set. It's the Kindle books from the library I want to look into!

    PS – Lipgloss is Maybelline "Cool Watermelon" D160 with a coat of Smashbox "Timeless" lip gloss. Total suggestion from +Jane Ellen ;)

    Love the tip for Day#4. I'm SO excited you are getting a library card! I think everyone should have one! Love the reminder, too, about feeding the non-business side our brains with some different reading.

    Thanks +Jennifer Bailey – they are +Julien Smith's tips, I'm just applying them to my life & business ;)
