What an exciting March this has been! There were some incredibly major upsets in the NCAA tournament. My brackets are shot to pieces. Not ONE of the teams I predicted for the Final Four made it! Ah, well, that's what makes it so exciting.
The March Madness Free Throw Contest has also been exciting.
Super Simran established an early lead and has kept it all month but there has been a lot of competition in the back court between
Michael,
Ryan,
Davidson and
Soccer Shawn. Here are the final free throws and the winners:

YAAAAYYYY!!! Super Simran,
you can come to the Myers Park library and claim your prize. Or, if you can't, I'll make sure you get it. Same for you, all you second placers. And you too,
Sarah! You're our third-place winner.
Hey, wait a minute--we have FOUR boys in second place! That's
Michael, Ryan, Soccer Shawn and
Davidson. Congratulations, guys! This has never happened before. Well, this is great! It shows that lots of boys enjoy reading and that's what this blog is all about. We have lots of prizes in the box, so there will be plenty for all of you. As I said, come to the
Myers Park library and get your prizes or I will find a way to get them to you.
Hey, wait another minute--Super Simran is the first-place winner and that means--
that means---
---a
girl is the overall winner at the
BOYS Read blog!! This has never happened before either. Fortunately, the Iron Guy is not made of inflexible metal (the iron is only for toughness!) and can enjoy any new situation. I think we can all be happy that kids, boys
and girls, enjoy reading. In fact, this just goes to show that girls can enjoy good reads as much as boys. And--celebrating a
girl winning the
Boys Read contest shows just how good-natured boys really are, giving the world more proof of the
awesome greatness of boys!!Seriously, though, this has been a great contest and I thank all of you for writing in. Now don't think this means you have to stop!! We still want to hear about good reads! So keep sending in those reviews and I'll keep posting them.OK?
OK!!
this worked up for long time, but this gn is fan-tastic! George O'Connor has started an enormous project, turning the stories of the 12 ancient Greek immortals into graphic novels. This one focuses on Zeus. It starts with the creation of the world and goes into the domination of the earth by the Titans, Zeus's quest for his birthright, and the great battle of Zeus and Kronos. Wow! What a story. And what artwork!! George O'Connor does both the story and art and he excels mightily. This is everything a guy could want. As it says on the back, "Epic battles, daring quests, and terrible monsters await you." What more do you want? And what a perfect thing to read during the weekend that The Lightning Thief movie opens!! (PS--I'll give a free book to any one who writes a review of the movie) Zeus, King of the Gods--go get it!! And Bill, Zack--I'd love to hear what you think of it.
... is another AMAZINGLY TERRIFIC graphic novel in his Olympians series.
