We are still waiting on books for the grownup: Current wait list number 154 and 150 for "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" and "Never Let Me Go" respectively.

For the Kiddo:
1. Robots: Clive Gifford--Good descriptive book about all the different types of robots.
2. Skeleton: Steve Parker-One of the discovery series which breaks down all the different bones in bodies and how they are connected. It also covers exoskeltons.
3. Car, Richard Sutton--This one is all the different types of cars. Not as great as we hoped.
4. Ultimate X-men: Peter Sanderson--Superheros and amazing information.
5. You Read to Me and I'll Read to You; very short scary tales to tell each other: Mary Ann Hoberman--FANTASTIC

We also picked up three books for school about the autumn season, thankgiving and holidays in general.
