Murder in the Dark by Kerry Greenwood, 266 pages

This had an outstanding quote that I loved. Some of the characters are talking about trying to catch a killer.
"We can't have the scum of America coming here," protested Jack Robinson.
"You might be a bite late," said Bert, sardonically. "By about a hundred years. Mind you, we started with the scum of Britain, so we might as well vary the mix."
This had be laughing out loud and reading it to my husband.

Death By Water by Kerry Greenwood, 259 pages

Another great entry in one of my favorite series. It's a toss up as to if I like the show better than the books, and that's a sign of how great both are.

The Three Musketeers With Zombies by Alexandre Dumas & Mike Rogers, 258 pages

There's very few things that can't be improved with zombies, but I wish this had stayed truer to the original book.

Why My Third Husband Will Be A Dog by Lisa Scottoline, 288 pages

A collection of humorous essays, a nice switch for my book club. Lots of fun.

Away With the Fairies by Kerry Greenwood, 241 pages

Another great read featuring Miss Phryne Fisher. I want her wit and her clothing.

The Breaking Point by Jefferson Bass, 373 pages

I really like this series but I hate it when authors write books out of series order.

The Marriage at the Rue Morgue by Jessie Bishop Powell, 289 pages

A murder mystery that takes place at a chimp reserve. Wasn't bad, was different.

izombie, uvampire by Chris roberson & Michael Allred, 168 pages

Very different from the show, evidently if you're any sort of a supernatural creature or such, heavy black eyeliner is a must.

China Dolls by Lisa See, 383 pages

Chinese girls trying to deal with coming to age in America at the onset of WWII. How American can you be when you don't "look" American?
This was an outstanding read. Really kept me engaged the whole time.

Blood of My Blood by Barry Lyga, 472 pages

An amazing ending to a fantastic trilogy that started with "I Hunt Killers". I did not see the ending coming at all, but it fit completely.

The Job, True Tales From the Life of a New York City Cop by Steve Osborne, 253 pages

True stories about working as a New York City Cop. Really fascinating, I always love these behind the scenes stories.

The Legend of Sheba, Rise of a Queen by Tosca Lee, 328 pages

What little I know about Sheba comes from the Bible. I always enjoy reading historical fiction, especially ones that look at biblical figures. This was really good. It stayed true to the Bible, while exploring what might have laid behind the minds and hearts of the main characters.

The Curse of the House of Foskett by M.R.C. Kasasian, 408 pages

A very different English murder mystery. It has almost no likeable characters and the plot is very odd, but it's a very good read. I find myself enjoying it almost against my will.

Armada by Ernest Cline, 355 pages

This was another great read by the author of Ready Player One. Still video game based, and not as geektastic, but pretty entertaining.

Zombies of Byzantium by Sean Munger, 238 pages

Very fun take on the zombie genre, 8th century A.D., the Muslims are trying to take Constantinople, and undead creatures are trying to eat everyone.

The Martian by Andy Weir, 369 pages

I saw the blurb for this upcoming movie and saw that it was based on a book. The movie looked intriguing but I don't watch movies until I've read the book. This was more science based than I would normally pick up and when my husband read it first he said he wasn't sure I would enjoy it. It turned out to be a great read.
Astronauts are sent to Mars, there's an accident and one is left behind, believed dead. It turns out that he's still alive but has to figure out a way to survive on a lifeless planet for years until the next mission. The book was scientific but not overwhelmingly so, the inner dialogue for the astronaut was hilarious twisted, and the plot was very exciting. I can't wait to see the movie now.

Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller, 386 pages

I came across this on the new shelf and there wasn't a description on the front, but from the cover and the blurbs on it, I thought it would be a slightly darker Little House on the Prairie. Boy, was I wrong. It turned out to be set in late 1970s London, with an 8-year-old girl whose father is a survivalist. He ends up basically running away with his daughter to the woods, and the book explores the story. Very dark, creepy, and pretty depressing. Not bad, but a shock to the system when you're expecting Little House.
