Happy Holidays from all of us at Teenreads.com. Many of you have just started your break; others will be getting out of school in the next couple of days. We can imagine you are breathing a huge sigh of relief about this --- and then feverishly running around to get last minute shopping and holiday preparations done.

If you are anything like me, these past few weeks have been really hectic. And now just when the wrapping, baking and card writing is coming together, school gets out! Thus you move into your new role --- entertainer extraordinaire. Not to worry, there is lots of reading for the kids at Kidsreads.com. Log them on and have them make lists of what they want to read.

I am trapped in the "holidaze." There are a pile of presents that need wrapping, some treats to be baked (the parking garage attendants have been asking for my brownies for two weeks now) and lots of merry ho ho ho to be had. My sister flies in this weekend from Atlanta with her family to kick off the festivities. The following week has family and friend celebrations where I will cook, bake and over create the holiday. The day after Christmas I escape. We are heading to the Outer Banks in North Carolina where I plan to read and sleep for a week. I have a stack of books ready to take with me. It has both books we missed this year --- and books that will be out this winter/spring.
