LIbrary Goodies
Kelly asked what I filled my backpack with when we went to the library on Monday, so here’s a list:
For me:
- Typing time (CD-ROM)
- Prep : a novel   Sittenfeld, Curtis. (Finished – excellent)
- The lost art of keeping secrets : a novel   Rice, Eva, (3/4 finished, excellent)
- On Yoolis night [sound recording] : medieval carols & motets   Anonymous 4 (lovely)
- Unnatural selection   Elkins, Aaron J.
- London is the best city in America   Dave, Laura.
- The cultured handmaiden   Cookson, Catherine.
- The Penderwicks [sound recording] (Very disappointing. The story seems very good but the reader is dreadful, so dreadful we had to turn it off after a few minutes.)
For Henry:
- Life in the Middle Ages. The castle   Hinds, Kathryn, 1962-
- Magical melons : more stories about Caddie Woodlawn   Brink, Carol Ryrie, 1895-1981
- The secret of Pirates’ Hill   Dixon, Franklin W.
- Cathedral: the story of its construction   Macaulay, David.
- Draw your own manga : beyond the basics   Nagatomo, Haruno.
- Dragon rider   Funke, Cornelia Caroline.
- A medieval castle   Jarrow, Gail.
- The further adventures of Hank the Cowdog   Erickson, John R., (Henry says this is very good)
- Midnight magic   Avi,
- The sun   Miller, Ron,
- The history of counting   Schmandt-Besserat, Denise.
- Math missions (CD-ROM) (Henry likes this game, although there’s WAY to much talking and he has to keep hitting “escape” to get to the actual math)
So there you go :)
