The Books

I know I keep telling you how great they are, but seriously, I can not wait to put them on display in the Library. I already have it cleared by everyone up there and on Monday right at the beginning of class we will be putting your books up with a write up on thier meanings.

I will also take pictures so we can post them here as a slideshow to show off how cool they are.

You guys ROCK!
