Tweets of the Week
@YABookLove Never thought I would say this… but Monday morning can’t come fast enough. Why? Bc@SLJsBoB will be back!@elockhart I am up. I have already made lemon-raspberry bread and read the latest#sljbob12 battle. Ridiculously perky. Should crash by 10 am.@Mizzou a March Madness we can still cheer for.@sarahsulliv But on a brighter note, I’m still rocking a PERFECT bracket in Battle of the Books.-
@elockhart Ms.@LaurenMyracle says the S-word a lot and also “slurpy ferocity” while judging books by Ness & Peet. @jwehrheim Oh man did NOT see this coming!@sljournal: RT@sljsbob: Round 1, Match 7: Life: An Exploded Diagram vs A Monster Calls.-
@brandymuses This one made me want to cry. RT@SLJsBoB: Round 1, Match 7: Life: An Exploded Diagram vs A Monster Calls. @thebrainlair Daughter of Smoke and Bone vs Chime? Awesome matchup.-
@Librariest I find I’m scared to death over the Wimpy Kid’s choice tomorrow@SLJsBoB. Please don’t let me down Mr. Kinney. @HannahlilyS@thebrainlair@sljsbob oh gosh. I love all of them (except Life, natch). But I think I love Chime a little bit more.@Librariest I HATE ALPHABETICAL ORDER! My three favorite books of the year dumped at the tail end@SLJsBoB. Third favorite beat up my true love.@PBS What’s your vote,@sljournal? RT@sljournal: So we have#sljbob12 –@PBS has#SandwichMadness-
@SLJsBoB Wow!@wimpykid really stirred up today! @DougSwieteck Off Twitter for a couple weeks & come back to see I’ve lost another battle, this one to Thunderstruck, a mediocre AC/DC song.-
@ReadingChick@DougSwieteck@sljsbob Doug, I voted for you in the Undead poll. I believe. Also the comments are all in your favor#doesnthelpdoesit#sad
