"Uglies is the first book of the trilogy. The second book is Pretties and the third is Specials. It's about a world in which everyone has an operation when they turn sixteen, making them supermodel beautiful. Big eyes, full lips, no one fat or skinny. This seems like a good thing, but it's not. Especially if you're one of the uglies, a bunch of radical teens who've decided they want to keep their own faces. (How anti-social of them.)"This trilogy is no longer a trilogy since the forth book,
Extras, has been published.
Extras is still for the Library to acquire though.
By the same author, we already have
Peeps (vampires again) and it's sequel
The last days in the MS library. I am reading
Peeps at the moment, and I think I would have liked it more if I was a teenager, the author tries a little too hard to sound like someone "cool" for my liking.
Uglies was checked out the moment it arrived, so I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I will.
Early this semester we got a bunch of new Robotics books for the library. These are the titles:

If you haven't been to the library recently you might not know that we now have a new display for new books. This one shows the covers better and gives an easier overview, in my humble opinion. Thanks to Alphonse who made it for us!
We are working on a section for non english books in the library, and we are adding quite a few books in Tamil. This is one of the recent purchases of Tamil books - Obama by Senthil Nathan. (blog in Tamil). Unfortunately my Tamil needs some work, so I can't actually say anything more about this book than the fact that it is about Barack Obama and in Tamil.
