We had a great time with a visit from our friend Monty who showed us a selection of graphic novels and junior comics. We are getting a lot more of these in the collection and it was fun to see so many different styles. Black and white, no words, full page illustrations, panel illustrations, true stories and super heroes, were just some to flick through.
We also played charades, reviewed the historical books that we had read over the last month and had a little party for our mid year – the chippies went pretty quickly!
Here’s a selection of some of the comics we recommend:

We had a great first session for 2011. It was lovely to see everyone after the holidays and I loved hearing about all the cool books you have been reading.
The theme for this meeting was fantasy and as a group we created a huge brainstorm of ideas about what makes an awesome fantasy novel. We also had a look at lots of the libraries shiny new fantasy books.
Here’s a selection of the books our BookSeekers have been reading lately:

We had loads of fun talking about books and playing games.
There was balloon volleyball, a race to blow ping-pong balls across the floor using enormous straws, and guessing which character from a fairytale you had on your head.
Then there was food and drink, and mystery prizes to celebrate the end of the year.
