At this point we’re pretty much right in the middle of the summer break. Yes, we’ve had fun. Yes, we’ve been waking up late. Yes, we’ve been watching bad television. I don’t know about you, but at about this time during the summer I get a little stir crazy and restless. If you are feeling bored, check out a suspenseful tale of adventure or survival. It might just give you the jump-start you need.

Most of us have had to read our fair share of “classic” literature for school. It might have been Shakespeare; it might’ve been Mark Twain; it might’ve been one of the Brontë sisters. Whether you’ve read the classics (and are looking for a new take on the originals) or you’ve never been forced to read the classics (but are curious what some of them are about), I highly recommend checking out some remixed classics. What are your favorites? What do you suggest? *Bonus points if you can name the original tale that corresponds to the remix*

I’ve always been a little resistant to fairy tales. The whole “happily ever after” thing never sat well with me. But often the versions of fairy tales I saw or heard growing up bore little resemblance to their origins (which were sometimes just down-right creepy) and there are many retellings of fairy tales that put a whole new twist on some tired old tales. What fairy tales do you love or hate?
Join us every Thursday throughout the Teen Summer Reading Program in the large Meeting Room for video games, board games, card games, food, fun and raffle prizes! Have a suggestion for a great game we can play? Let us know!
I wasn’t born in Texas and most of my life was spent living elsewhere. I certainly can’t claim to be a Native Texan. I’m a transplant, but one who has come to deeply enjoy the uniqueness and diversity of the people, cultures, and environments within this Lone Star State. I’ve picked several books that (at some point) take place in Texas; hopefully you’ll find one you enjoy, too. What do you love about Texas?
