Prizes for the March Madness of Reading Contest!

Hey, guys, things have been busier than an NBA offical counting Steph Curry 3-point shots, so I haven't had a chance to post what the prizes will be for the March Madness of Reading Contest. I bet you're wondering, so let me tell you:

FIRST PLACE: A set of Star Wars Blueprints posters--very cool!
And Out From Boneville, the first in the Bone graphic novel series (it's an awesome series!)

SECOND PLACE: A 20Q handheld game and the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. All guys love the Wimpy Kid books and this is a fun game.

THIRD PLACE: A "Joust Read" T-shirt and The Maze of Bones,
the first in The 39 Clues series, which is also awesome and all guys love.

GREAT STUFF! And it can be yours by sending in reviews. If you have any questions about how the contest works, click here. OK? Let's heat up that competiton, guys and see who will get the fabulous prizes in the MARCH MADNESS OF READING!

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.
