Book fair!
Because I'm wallowing in all my new books, I'm going to list them.
Fiction
Citizen of the Galaxy, Robert Heinlein
Devil's Web, Mary Balogh
The Maltese Falcon, Dashiell Hammett
Searching for Dragons, Patricia Wrede
The Diamond Throne, David Eddings
The Charm School, Susan Wiggs
The Isle of Stone: A Novel of Ancient Sparta, Nicholas Nicastro
The Scions of Shannara, Terry Brooks
The Centurion's Empire, Sean McMullen
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling
Angel With Attitude, Michelle Rowen
Storm Glass, Maria V. Snyder
Elvenblood, Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey
The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Michael Chabon
Non-fiction
Apollo 13, Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger
Royal Panoply: Brief Lives of the English Monarchs, Carlly Erickson
The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels, Thomas Cahill
In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World it Made, Norman Cantor
The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View, Richard Tarnas
Two Sides of the Moon: Our Story of Cold War Space Race, David Scott and Alexei Leonov
The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic - And How it Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World, Steven Johnson
I actually found some decent nonfiction selections this time, which is rare. Book fair nonfiction tends to consist of three million copies of last year's Ann Coulter book, plus a great selection of thirty year old mathematics textbooks - but nothing current or interesting. (Seriously, I saw all of Barak Obama's bios, and a ton of copies of The Truth About Hillary Clinton, which I'm sure is very amusing.)
