The Help This was the best book I have read in a long time! I thoroughly enjoyed it and have recommended it to all my friends. It was a selection from our book club and it was an excellent choice. If you like to read about the South during the Civil Rights era, this is the book for you. I really, really enjoyed the women in this book, their characters are so enigmatic. I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did!

Colfer, E. (2001). Artemis Fowl. New York: Hyperion Paperbacks for Children.
Artemis Fowl is not only to tale of the ingenious and villainous Artemis Fowl, but also the Story of Captain Holly Short, the first female to protect the magical people by joining LEPrechaun force.
Artemis, whose mother is unwell since his father was lost in the Arctic, searches with his friend and protector, Butler, to restore the Fowl fortune. This leads Artemis into trouble with the magical world when he takes Holly hostage. From there Artemis must match wits with LEP’s best agents and one of the magical community’s sneakiest criminals.
The book allows students to question their own cultural norms, as humans are called Mud People and their (our) practices are called into question.
The story includes subtle environmental messages. It also blurs the lines between genres, as it includes both sci-fi and fantasy elements. But most of all, this is a fun series for the young action-adventure lover to become addicted to.
Plus, Artemis is a Mac user, the clever boy.
Activities to do with the book:
This is a book is a great adventure story to help to get students immersed in a story. It lends itself to role-play since students can have fun being a villainous and powerful child genius.
Since some complain that the Artemis Fowl books are hard to visualize, students could create their own illustrations to help with this or create their own adventures for some of the supporting characters.
Favorite Quotes:
“How does one describe Artemis Fowl? Various psychiatrists have tried and failed. The main problem is Artemis’s own intelligence. He babboozles every test thrown at him. He has puzzled the greatest medical minds, and sent many of them gibbering to their own hospitals” (p. 1).
“The Mud People destroyed everything they came into contact with. Of course they didn’t live in the mud anymore. Not in this country, at least. Oh no. Big fancy dwellings with room for everything–rooms for sleep

I read this during banned book week. I had not read it before, but it’s a classic. And hey, I wanted to see what could be so bad in it to ban it.
Hoo boy! Did I ever figure out. This book was obviously banned for being the single most boring book ever written. Or perhaps the incidence of boredom induced coma was so high, they felt the need to ban it. I don’t know. But I never did see anything horrible or even questionable in this book – nevermind interesting.
I’m sure people will comment about what a great piece of work this is. To them, I say “meh”

Bought this SD card when I bought my Canon DSLR. Worked well and the write speeds were really good. I was able to continously shoot 3 RAW+JPEG(~13Mb) frames in a second. But, the big day comes and I am preparing to shoot an event. Formatted the SD card, kept it all ready. Took may be 10 pictures at this event and I get a card error. Tried to format again and it failed. Luckily I had a smaller 2GB Kingston with me and ended up just shooting JPEGs.
Tried formatting the SD card at home on the desktop and still no luck. Looks like its corrupt.

This book was so well written, it just pulled me in. It was insightful, honest, whitty and sad all at once. A must read!
