It’s library day! *doing the library happy dance*
We picked up some good loot, today, too.
For A/K:
Book! Book! Book!, by Deborah Bruss/Illus. by Tiphanie Beeke
Rita and Whatsit, by Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vicnod/Illus. by Olivier Tallec
Paddington Bear, by Michael Bond/Illus. by R. W. Alley

The Beckoning Cat: Based on a Japanese Folktale, by Koko Nishizuka/Illus. by Rosanne Litzinger
Rotten Ralph Feels Rotten, by Jack Gantos/Illus. by Nicole Rubel**
For C:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5), by J. K. Rowling — this is the audio book; we discovered with Inkheart, that C really likes listening to long books in audio form. We told her she could watch the Order of the Phoenix movie if she read the book…she’s very excited.
Thora and the Green Sea-unicorn, by Gillian Johnson
For M:
Chronicles of Faerie: The Hunter’s Moon (The Chronicles of Faerie), by O. R. Melling — we discovered that the book she picked up last week was the third in a series. Well, of course we had to get the other two!*
Chronicles of Faerie: The Summer King (The Chronicles of Faerie), by O. R. Melling*
Long May She Reign, by Ellen Emmerson White — Help! Is this the first in a series? Or a later one? We can’t tell.*
Flavor of the Week, by Tucker Shaw*
Chalice, by Robin McKinley*
For me:
Mark Twain: The Gilded Age and Later Novels: The Gilded Age / The American Claimant / Tom Sawyer Abroad / Tom Sawyer, Detective / No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger (Library of America), by Mark Twain. Lest you get all intimidated: I’m only planning on reading The Guilded Age, but this was the only copy in at the library.
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, by Jacqueline Kelly
The roundup is either at Reading Adventures or A Striped Armchair.
*Ones that M eventually read.
**Picture books we really liked.
The Book Nut 
Long May She Reign is the final book in The President's Daughter series. The series is not super-new, but was reprinted recently and has been getting a lot of good buzz!
1. The President's Daughter
2. White House Autumn
3. Long Live the Queen
4. Long May She Reign

Interesting: the library doesn't have the second or third in the series. That's odd.

It seems as though some weeks I have more than one library day! Maybe I should try and limit the number of visits and then I wouldn't pick up so many books!

Great list! When I'm having trouble figuring out series order, I use the Mid-Continent Library's Juvenile Series and Sequels page. It's fantastic. http://www.mcpl.lib.mo.us/readers/series/juv/book.cfm
