Used to be the definition of a good summer read was a trashy romance novel or a good mystery. With the economic turmoil of today, more and more people are chosing to bring career search books along with them to the beach or on vacation. This NYT article offers some good suggestions to start you off. Who knows, maybe you will be starting a new job this September when the kids go back to school!

Megan Fox star of the Transformers is in a new film called Jennifer's Body. There is also going to be a comic based on the film....Synopsis: The perfect cheerleader gets posessed and starts feeding on boys one by one. The film is a horror/comedy. Diablo Cody the writer of Juno also penned this script.

This is the new decepticon! These robots in disguise have powers to transform into whatever....why didn't the decepticons win???? Oh well so much for the story in the new movie.

Looking for a good old fashioned 'chick lit' kind of read this summer? Here is a list of the latest and greatest books that have, what one of our chick lit loving librarians likes to say, no redeeming value but are highly entertaining reads!

And the critics like the latest Potter movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It has a 98% rating from Rotten Tomatoes, which gathers the reviews of multiple critics. They're describing the film as dark, romantic, funny, respectful to the book, emotional, visually stunning and of course magical. I can already hear the strains of John Williams's score in my head. Maybe I'm so excited because the movie was originally supposed to come out in November, but for reasons unknown (ahem, Twilight, ahem, money) it was delayed until July.
This movie is rated a more family friendly PG, whereas the last two were both PG-13. I'll be going to see it in IMAX on Sunday, but if any of you nightowls see it tonight at midnight, drop us a line with your own review.
Enjoy this pic from the premiere. Who knew the Weasley twins weren't naturally ginger? When did Neville become a cutie? (And maybe got some braces?) And "Draco" smiles, sorta.

My idea of a summer read is usually a light, breezy book that doesn't take too much concentration. There are, however, those people who love to read more intense, non-fiction titles. For you ambitious readers, a contributor to NPR developed this list of five books that will shock, appall and delight you, wherever you chose to "relax."

Did anybody here about the new movie from James Cameron(Director of Aliens)??? Well he is making a new science fiction film that is geared for the 3-D film format. It is going to be out by December.
