The Monday Mashup

Welcome to another installment of the Monday Mashup. Today we bring you a book to check out and a video perfect for this time of year!


Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff:

If you like your fiction gritty and real, you don't want to miss this story. Lily, Noah, and Simon have been good friends for a long time, and all of their lives are defined by some sort of tragedy. Simon's dealing with a family member's illness; Noah's got an abusive parent; and Lily's folks are not going to be keeping their marriage together for anything. Oh, and both Noah and Simon have the hots for Lily, even though she only has eyes for one of them.

This is a story told through three voices and all are very beliable and realistic. You won't soon forget it.

And if you dig it, check our book mark holder since Steve was kind enough to send our library a ton of bookmarks about this book, too.


And for this week's video...check out how to wrap your cat (it's totally harmless). Can you believe a cat would sit that still and let someone do that?
