So if it’s not already easy enough to come to the library and borrow free books, now you can join publisher Simon and Schuster’s new Pulse It site and they will offer 2 new books every month for you to read.
Here’s the catch — you have to register and create a profile, be between the ages of 14 and 18, and you have 60 days to read the book you choose.
After that, you can comment, review or share whatever else you thought about it with other teens on the site.

Summer Reading 2009 is here! I know you are all excited – please try and contain yourselves…
In the past, when you signed up for Summer Reading, you got a reading log (had to read 4 books) and when you turned it in received a small prize — usually a pencil, bookmark or something like that.

So, get to registering, people. Here’s the link. Happy Summer Reading!

If anything can make people feel better, it’s chocolate, right?
Well, have I got good news for you! Mars, the maker of such classics as Snickers, Twix, M&Ms and 3 Musketeers, is sponsoring “Free Chocolate Fridays” from now until September.
