Saw the movie the other night, thought I better read the book! Good story of very smart little girl.

Story of the discovery of a hoard of Roman silver by a fellow plowing a field, and more interestingly, how he didn't profit much from it.

Murder at the Oz Festival in Chicago. There should be an apostrophe between the D and the A in the last name.

A 1903 guide to setting up a town library. Many of the procedures were very familiar as they are the same ones I was taught in Library Technician classes. I read the Project Gutenberg e-book edition.

Well, things don't quite end up as planned, but there ya go. I hear there's a prequel?

A prequel to the Maze Runner series. Too much killing just made me glaze over in the last twenty pages.

Second book in the series. Thomas and the boys (and girls) have to cross The Scorch, after which they are promised a cure for The Flare. The cake is a lie, my friends.

Thirteen fairy tales retold by authors I've actually heard of. Very good. I esspecially liked the girl who recommended learning how to use the card catalog for research as fairy godfathers were sometimes rather undependable.

A bartender/musician and his friend build a time machine. Story didn't work for me. I don't even have any good quotes to share!
