you are in for a treat. Author Michael Davis a television insider tells the story of Sesame Street in his new book STREET GANG. Whoever thought of this adorable title deserves a raise.
Michael is touring on the East Coast in January so you can come out and hear his engaging and entertaining stories . While there you will definitely want to pick up a copy of the book for yourself or anyone that grew up with these adorable and lovable puppets in their lives. Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2009 so there are many of us out there that were influenced by this special street and the brilliant individuals that brought it to PBS.

Oprah has done so much for the book world and we hope that she continues to do so for years to come. In her December issue of O she lists five books among her O List choices. The books are: STILLNESS S SPEAKS and A NEW EARTH both by Eckhart Tolle; TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee; THE BLUEST EYE by Toni Morrison and THE STORY OF EDWARD SAWTELLE by David Wroblewski that has been topping all of the best of ’08 lists.
Thanks Oprah, a book is a great price point and it makes a great stocking stuffer too.
Happy Holidays!

This is a belongs to the between the numbers series. All are enjoyable but why not just continue with the numbers, why the in between? Who cares, right? The series is so much fun, I am always delighted with each installment. But I am finally approaching current releases and that makes me sad. So if the in between books means they come more often because they are shorter then so be it.
To keep up on the comings and goings of Janet Evanovich viist her site, http://www.evanovich.com/index.html. For fans of Stephanie Plum there is a cute 12 Days of Christmas video posted there.
