January 22nd Meeting

Hey you guys,

Hope you all enjoyed your break! Sorry for the late email. We will be having club tomorrow after school in the media center. Thank you Marisa for signing up for snacks!!!

Shout out to Marisa: thank you for your review of Looking for Alaska! I will be giving out candy tomorrow. You all can check it out here http://ahsreviews.blogspot.com/. I give candy for every review that is posted. Everyone needs at least one review to get pizza. 18 reviews to go! Some of you asked about getting an account for the review blog. If you haven't gotten one yet, then I will gladly send you the link 

An exciting opportunity has been presented to us! Bringing YA to You is having a contest! Vote for our hometown and we could win a live event with bestselling and award- winning YA authors! Voting is until the end of January. You can enter here http://ya2u.blogspot.com/p/contest-entry-form.html. Some of these authors include Marie Lu (author of Legend and Prodigy), Marissa Meyer (author of Cinder and Scarlet), Megan Shepherd (author of The Madman's Daughter), Beth Revis (author of Across the Universe, A Million Suns, and Shades of Earth), and Victoria Schwab (author of The Archived and The Near Witch). I signed Apex, NC up as my first city, then Raleigh, NC as my second, and Apex High School as my preferred location. 

Ms. Ziegler should be receiving some Advanced Reader's Copies soon. This is really exciting! These are literally books that haven't been published yet that we get to read now. 

Also, make sure to welcome Jasmine tomorrow! She is a new member of our little family.

Wednesday 9th Meeting

Hi everyone,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh it's exam time again! I wish you all the best of luck. We will be meeting this Wednesday in the Media Center from 2: 30- 3:30. Can't wait for you all to share the books you have been reading. Maddy has generously signed up for snack. 

At the beginning of club, we will be talking about a few important things and possible changes. Hope to see you there. Also, Ms. Ziegler received a notice for a contest that, if we won, would have some popular authors come to our school. We will talk about it more at club. Very exciting!!! 

Snack sign up is available. Respond to this email or sign up on facebook or the blog. 

Don't forget to do your reviews. I know that everyone is busy, but we have a few days off after exams. It only takes five minutes. Plus you'll be eligible for pizza at our pizza party at the end of the year :D. Blog authors will also receive a piece of candy for every post they write. ahsreviews.blogspot.com 

Ms. Ziegler has gotten some Advanced Reader's Copies. For those of you who don't know, these are books that haven't even been published yet that we have access to!!

Books For Soldiers was a great success! Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Looking forward to seeing you all!
