Reintroduction

Well, you've probably noticed that there was a big gap in the time frame that I posted reviews.    When I first started the blog, I posted an introduction, as such:  Also, I suppose I should mention a little bit about me.  Name's Tonya.  Oh, and the reason it was so important that I connect with the blog name is because I've never connected with my own real name.  Anyway, I'm currently 30 years old, living in Northwest Louisiana with my husband of 10 years and our 4 dogs (Sassy, Sasha, Ben, and Boots).  I love to read and write when I have the time.  I work at a public library in circulation, reference, and teen services.  As the sole person in teen services for my library system, I'm constantly trying to come up with ideas and find the time to implement them.

Why did it take me so long to get this thing up?

Well, the main reason it took me forever to create the blog is that I couldn't come up with the perfect name.  Everything I wanted was taken, so I kept stalling, hoping the perfect name would come to me.  I liked a lot of suggestions, but nothing ever really clicked.  Then a friend of mine suggested I use a title of a song or the name of an episode of one of my favorite tv shows.  So today I started browsing episode titles, and finally something inspired me to try "Across the Library".  Something about it really connects with me, and so, here we are. So what will I be posting here? Read the sidebar! Book reviews. New books. Books I'm crazy about. Library craziness. Teen services at the library. Program ideas. Workshops I've been to. My favorite book of the moment. Fiction. Non-fiction. Historical Fiction. Mysteries. Science Fiction. Fantasy. Romance. Graphic novels. Anything and everything else related to books or the library. For a while...
