Oh, Yeah!

This was posted on a friend's Facebook page.  He got it from David Stebbings' 'I Love Libraries' website.  I agree wholeheartedly!  YA novels are wonderful!  I enlarged it so you can read it easily.

Sorry for the lack of posts

I just wanted to apologize for not having posted anything for a while.  A couple of days after my last post, we received word that my mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and we were under the distinct impression she would probably not last the week.  I rushed out to Wisconsin from Rhode Island to be with her.  We have been very lucky that she has actually recovered to the point that we are working on removing her from Hospice and getting her into Assisted Living with Hospice where she can meet new friends and participate more than she can now.  She has been in the current location for 3 weeks now, and we were told the average stay is just 6 days.  To all my friends and colleagues, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  We have been blessed with extra time with her.
