Over the summer, we had some Lego clubs at the library and remembered how much I love Legos. We went to a Lego store yesterday and there were so many things I wanted to build. So in light of that, I thought I'd share a few fun Lego books. Some I've read and some are wicked popular in the library.

Top Ten Tuesday: Gifts under the tree

This week's topic is Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree This Year. I think it's super hard to be a book lover a gift if they read as many books as so this list contains books that I want to read but aren't in the library system (yet) or books of ARCs that I would devour in a heartbeat.

Chocolate:

Not in the library:
Neverseen (Keeper of the Lost Cities, #4)

In my dreams:
