How to make a librarian happy, September 2012 (part 2)

As promised in my previous post, today I'll share with you the books the library received from the Superiorland Preview Center.  These books are free to the area's libraries, and funded by a memorial endowment.  Again, all links are to Goodreads, unless otherwise stated.
