How to make a librarian happy (Part 4)

This week was filled with a wonderful amount of cataloging.  A couple dozen new books found a new home in the library!  I'd made a Scholastic order with our Scholastic Dollars earned at the book sales, but my buddy Lynette at the Superiorland Preview Center also stopped by the previous Wednesday with a box of great, new books for all ages.

From Superiorland

Marissa Moss is going to be the visiting Young Author next month.

Heroes of Olympus
These were both checked out within an hour of cataloging - and the time was only that long because I was holding one for a student.  Rick Riordan's books are hot.  (I reviewed The Lightning Thief, part of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, last summer.)

Great books

The last of which was checked out within five minutes of cataloging it.

YA novels
Liar's Moon (sequel to Star Crossed, which I reviewed last fall)
Pie
The Scorpio Races
The Hunger Games (replacement copy; I reviewed this earlier this year)

What a great mass of books!  What looks good to you?
