And the Winners Are---

OK, guys, we Carolina fans are disappointed after Monday night's game but we guy readers are not because the results are in from the March Madness of Reading Contest. What a great time we had this year! We heard from two old friends and one new friend and learned about some cool books. And now we have prizes waiting for the winners! This year we had prizes for first, second and third places so guess what? That means all the boys who participated this year are winners!

Here are the final standings:
REID-First Place with 10 points
GRAM--Second Place with 2 points
JUDE--Third Place with 1 point

WELL DONE, guys! Be sure to come by the Myers Park library and claim your prizes. (check out what the prizes are here)

And let us keep hearing from you! There are lots of cool books, graphic novels, biographies and nonfiction out there that other guys may not know about. The Iron Guy is counting on you to tell us about terrific reading!

The Iron Guy wants YOU to send us more cool book reviews!

PS--note to JUDE. Since this was your first review and, since every guy gets a free book the first time he sends in a review, you can claim a free book out of our ultra-cool prize box when you pick up your other prizes.

Here's How Our Blog Works

If you don't know how to post comments or reviews to our blog or if you want to read what we and other boys have written, here's what you do:

1. Every post has a place underneath it that says "Comments". Click on it and it will take you to a place in which you can write something. When you're done, click on a way to identify yourself. You don't have to create a Blogger/Google account (unless you already have one); you can click on "Name/URL" or even "Anonymous." Then click "Publish Your Comment." We try to get your comments and reviews posted right away, but sometimes we get busy with other duties. So, if you don't see your comment right away, don't panic. We'll post it soon.

Don't forget--any boy can get a free book the first time he writes a review. If you live too far away to come to the Myers Park library, go ahead and write to us anyway. We'll try to find a way to get a book to you. Besides, all the other boys out there would love to hear from you.

When you tell us about a book, please give the title, author, what the book is about, and why you did or didn't like it.

2. Blogs go "front to back"; that is, the newest post comes up first and the older ones are put further back. You click on the "Blog Archive" to read older articles. The posts for this month have the titles listed. You can click on other months to catch our other posts. (Our introduction is in June of 2007; if you're new to this blog, you might look it up.)

3. Underneath each post you'll see a line that says "Labels" and several other words such as "graphic novels" or "Andrew Clements." These extra words are links to a subject; for instance, if you clicked on "graphic novels," it would pull up all the posts about graphic novels. There's also a section below on some of our best posts on the most popular subjects

4. Did you notice that the posts from last year don't show up month by month as they did before this year? If you click on the triangle next to the previous years, the months will drop down and you can go back and see what we and your fellow readers have written.

The Iron Guy's Review Policy

1. Since the Iron Guy works for the terrific Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, I review only books that the library already has or will get soon.
2. If you are an author or publisher or agent and think you have a book that boys will go crazy over, please leave me a comment (with your email address so I can contact you) under any post. I will look and see if we have the book. If not, and if the book looks good, I will contact Those Who Order Books and see if CML would be interested. (Please note--CML does not usually order self-published books) PLEASE do not just send me a book! I appreciate the offer but but first I want to see if CML has it or will get it soon.
