We end bookit week with another of bee’s favorite books, also in diary format, chronicling the life and times of a teenage girl. bee gives us all reasons to read the book, whether girl or boy, woman or man, teenager or non-teenager. That means you out there. We wonder aloud, should we call you a user or a listener? This is podcast No. 25: 2November2007.

It’s day three of bookit week, and bee talks about a book she reads over and over, but never from start to finish. Always in bits and pieces in odd order. Maybe that’s because the book is in the form of a diary. And, just for Halloween, bee explains why she finds the trip inside the diarist’s head a little creepy. This is podcast No. 23: 31October2007.

It’s day two of bookit week, and we talk about one of the most sacred books of the last century. It’s the book that made us all feel like we weren’t completely alone and crazy out of our minds at a time when we really needed not to feel alone and crazy out of our minds.

Once upon a time, says bee, there was a reading incentive program for youngsters called “bookit.” She remembers it fondly and bemoans the fact that it no longer exists. bee will be relieved to know that the bookit program is alive and well, thank you very much, and bee simply outgrew it. But not her love of books. It’s bookit week here on Daily Lights, and bee talks books. Including this one, which she is reading now. This is podcast No. 21: 29October2007.
