Listen to the Wind and Gallop! have been making themselves comfortable at the top for some time. The latest Marley release runs wild at #3, while the newest addition to the “ilicious” series takes #4. Oceanology follows in the popular footsteps of Dragonology (and a host of other -ology titles) at #5.
On to the more generously paged.
One of the most anticipated books of the fall, Catching Fire, hits #1 with it’s predecessor following closely behind at #2. Folks have also been waiting on book 2 in The Missing series, Sent, from Margaret Peterson Haddix, which places nicely at #4.
Back to the cave.

Oooh, I didn’t know Haddix had that one out! Sadly, our system has cut way back on book ordering so I don’t even know if we will be getting it. More sadly (wait, is that right?), I have been downsized to part time 🙁
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been seeing so much lately about libraries seeing an increase in popularity – it’s too bad they still have to face cutbacks.
