The LEGO Story: How a Little Toy Sparked the World's Imagination
by Jens Andersen (out November 15)
I was a huge LEGO fan as a kid. We had a giant bin of LEGOs that my sister and I would spend hours creating buildings, cars, and anything else we could think of. I think LEGOs may be the best toy for children, and I’m excited to dive into the company’s history.

The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time, and Motion
by Sean Carroll (September 2022)
