Thursday Library Overindulgence (Again)

Another day of complete failure at library restraint. I believe I am inching towards having 80 books out, with at least two known to be lost. Oops.

First, the hold shelves:

• Child of fire / Harry Connolly.
• Countdown to summer : 180 poems for every day of the school year / by J. Patrick Lewis (This one was completely worth it, since my fifth grader snuck it and started reading it. Reading POETRY.)
• Good poems / selected and introduced by Garrison Keillor.
• How to ditch your fairy / Justine Larbalestier. (Next book club book. Or the one after that, actually. Oops.)
• Sammy Keyes and the cold hard cash / by Wendelin Van Draanen.

Then, because I had too many books out already, I let some more fall into my bag:

• A weed by any other name : the virtues of a messy lawn, or learning to love the plants we don't plan
• Wanting Mor / Rukhsana Khan.
• Where the mountain meets the moon / Grace Lin.
• The necessary beggar

I'm ignoring any music CD's. I did get some more picture books, because I'm really enjoying them, especially when my kids read them to me:

• Jojo's flying side kick / by Brian Pinkney.
• A cold winter's Good Knight /
• The day I swapped my dad for two goldfish / [words, Neil Gaiman ; pictures, Dave McKean]
• Bad frogs
• Crazy hair
• Lousy rotten stinkin' grapes
• Most loved in all the world
• Only a witch can fly
• Pennies for elephants
• The great nursery rhyme disaster
• The prairie train /
