All Right! The First Comment of 2008! And the Second in the Running for the FREE T-SHIRT!

Yes, sir! We have the first comment of the new year! This is from cyber kid 303. Let's hear what he liked:

cyber kid 303 has left a new comment on your post "Don't Forget Our Contest!":

Swear to Howdy by Wendelin Van Draanen An over all good book, Swear to Howdy, is a adventurous book, but also sad. Rusty & Joey, 2 adventure-wanting, full fledge pranksters, pull pranks such as putting beetles in their sisters' cokes. They also shot Joey's cat by mistake while shooting squirrels with a .22 rifle (a gun). Each chapter is a different story so it doesn't matter what order you read it in (except for the last chapter).

Very well done, cyber kid 303! I really want to read this book now. Come in and get your free book! You are also tied with Cab, who wrote one comment, (posted on 12-31-07) for our free T-shirt. Let's keep them coming!

PS--Wendelin Van Draanen was at our Novello Festival Book Brunch last October. Did you get to see her?
PPS--Are you really part cyber and part kid? How much of each are you?

Don't forget--the boy who sends us the most comments about books by January 21 wins a free T-shirt that looks like this:

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
