Amy Diegelman's fangirl tendencies date all the way back to sneaking into her brother's room to steal his comic books and have never wavered. Amy is a high-school drama nerd from Missouri, who somehow ended up with Bachelor's degree in Political Science and a Master's Degree in Library Science. She is a Teen Librarian in Chicago, IL where she lives with her computer, video games, and a cat-shaped monster named CJ. Amy reviews books for School Library Journal, tweets at @amydieg, and once breathed the same air as LeVar Burton. Twitter: @amydieg

As the departure of the United States’ 44th President draws year, many of us lament. From Barack’s dad jeans and Thanksgiving puns to Michelle’s dynamite gowns and inspiring arms, the first black First Family will be sorely missed. But let us not despair of what we lose, but rejoice in what we could gain! With a sudden wealth of free time, think of the books the Obamas could write. Seriously. Think about them:
