It's that time of year again! No, not when you should start getting your Halloween costume before all the good ones are sold out and you're stuck being the guy with the funny nose and mustache attached to your glasses ... again. (Although, yeah, you probably should start getting your Halloween costume before all the good ones are sold out.) It's Teen Read Week!

Every year, the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA--like salsa, just not as yummy) urges teens to, well, read. This year, YALSA's theme is LOL @ the Library.

I know I love to LOL, especially when I'm reading. Don't you? Sure you do. And what better place to do it than the library. (As long as you're not laughing too loudly--it is a library after all, and you don't want to be shushed!)

Not that you guys need an excuse to read, because I know you are all constantly reading and writing. But it's kind of nice to have an official reason to saddle up to a good book in the library. So, what are some of your favorite humorous books?

Well anyway, if you'd like to participate in the official Teen Read Week, you better hurry off to the library because it runs from October 14-20. (I know, I know. Bad WORD bloggers! We should have told you sooner. Sorry, we were just so excited about our awesome 1,000 word writers that we just plum forgot.) But there's always time for reading!

Are you still waiting around? Get yourself to the library and read!
