Sound and Vision (apologies to Bowie)
Music CDs - there are more titles waiting on new CD cases to arrive.
High School Musical 2: non-stop dance party. Dance remixes from the second movie. In the kid section.
High School Musical 2: soundtrack. The original soundtrack, also downstairs.
American Gangster by Jay-Z. Rapper dude raps. I'm not sure if I've heard any of his tunes or not.
Double Wide and Live by Southern Culture on the Skids (SCOTS). SCOTS is known for being a live band. I've never seen them live so I figured I'd buy this one. I have Dirt Track Date sitting around if anyone wants to borrow it.
Definitive Collection, 1983-1987 by Steve Earle. Lake Mills does NOT have this collection by roots rocker Earle. But, you can reserve it on our catalog and Germantown Public Library will send it over. How does a fat, balding, old, junkie like Earle get a pretty, young wife like Allison Moorer? Earle has a radio show on Sirius satellite radio and, I just found out, has a small role on HBO's The Wire.
DVD
Blonde Ambition starring Jessica Simpson, Luke Wilson, Andy Dick. Judging from the back cover's synopsis this is a remake of Legally Blonde. Ditzy Oklahoma blonde visits boyfriend in New York. Blonde finds boyfriend with other girl. Blonde gets big job and new boyfriend as "revenge".
GamePlan starring Dwayne Johnson, Kyra Sedgewick, NFL quaterback with massive ego is suddenly saddled with his previously unknown 8-year-old daughter.
Inside Man starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe. A highly planned bank robbery falls apart into a hostage situation.
Once. Once is on several best of the year lists for 2007. Follows an Irish guitarist and keyboardist who spontaneously team up for a week and write songs together.
Oswald's Ghost. "How could someone as inconsequential as Lee Harvey oswald have killed someone as consequential as John F. Kennedy?" Forty years of obsession over the assassination is studied by PBS' American Experience.

Four More Fiction Including a Bill Crider Recommendation
Fiction
Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett. Queen Elizabeth chases her corgis into a bookmobile and feels obligated to borrow a book. The Queen starts to read widely and finds her world view changed and her Royal routines questioned which "soon leads to surprising and very funny consequences for the country at large."
Notes From the Backseat by Jody Gehrman. Gwen travels to a wedding with her boyfriend Coop and his best friend, Devil Blonde Dannika. The normally confident Gwen goes "psycho jealous".
Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George. Based on a Nordic fairy tale. A woodcutter's daughter agrees to live with a polar bear for one year in exchange for wealth for her family.
School for Scumbags by Danny King. Teenage delinquent Wayne ends up in yet another school. But the Gafin School for Misdirected Boys seems intent on teaching the wrong things. Crider has a good write-up.

Graphic Novels
Vampire Hunting
Guilty Pleasures, Volume One by Laurell K. Hamilton with Brett Booth, Stacie M. Ritchie and Jess Ruffner-Booth. "In a world where vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures are legal citizens of the United States, Anita Blake is an animator - someone who literally raises the dead for a living. But she moonlights as a vampire hunter, called in to resolve situations that are too much for conventional police to handle." I think Hamilton is one of those prose authors who add lots of sex to the vampire violence. I looked for sex stuff in this one but found nothing good.
Four HellBoy Titles
Troll Witch and Others
Strange Places
Right Hand of Doom
Conqueror Worm
Hellboy is demon who was brought to Earth as an infant by the Nazis in 1944. Hellboy was raised by the U.S. Army and the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. With red skin, stumps on his head from his filed down horns, and a tail Hellboy works as an unflappable investigator of paranormal threats. A fun series.

Large Print Fiction by the Dozen (minus four)
Large Print
Power Play by Joseph Finder. The executives of Hammond Aerospace are attending a retreat in a remote lodge. Their opening night dinner is taken over by gunmen intent on ransoming the lot of them. Junior Exec Jake Landry's mysterious past comes to the rescue.
Robert Ludlum's The Arctic Event by James H. Cobb. Lt. Col. John Smith searches Wednesday Island in Northern Canada to recover a spy plane with weaponized anthrax. Also searching are an arms merchant and the Russians.
The McKettrick Way by Linda Lael Miller. Meg McKettrick wants a kid but not necessarily a husband. Meg and neighboring cowboy Brad are attracted to one another but Brad wants marriage and family together.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz with Janet Mills. This is NonFiction not Fiction. Some sort of self-help book on "the self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy."
The Vanishing Act of Lesme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell. I think we have the regular print version of this. Iris gets a phone call saying her great-aunt Esme is being released from her mental institution after 60 years and would she please come pick her up? "I have a great aunt?" Esme replies. Why was she locked up? Why was Iris never told of Esme? Why was Esme forgotten there?
Protect and Defend by Vince Flynn. I'll take a guess at this one. There is a threat to the country by terrorists or traitors. Federal officials - either Special Forces, CIA or lawyers - fight the enemy against their own bureaucratic and shortsighted leaders. There is a beautiful, brave and plucky woman character.
A Time to Die by Beverly Barton. Deke shot and paralyzed Lexie during an African coup. Deke was a soldier working undercover and his guilt follows him after retirement to his job at Dundee Private Security. Lexie now heads an international charity when the son of a coup leader threatens her. Deke is hired to protect her.
Still Summer by Jacquelyn Mitchard. Is this the lady who lives in Madison? Yep, it is.
