When Maidens Mourn by C. S. Harris, 341 pages

I think this might be one of my favorite mystery series now. I especially enjoy watching the growing relationship between St. Cyr and Hero.

Still fun years later.

Little Archie Comic Digest Magazine, No. 35, 128 pages

I may be older but I still enjoy these.

How the Post Office Created America by Winifred Gallagher, 326 pages

A really interesting look at the history of the Post Office, at its early creation and help in shaping America, up to it's struggle to change and stay flexible for the future. The author did an outstanding job of bringing this huge entity to life, and giving me a true appreciation for what the Post Office done. I won't complain about the the rising cost of stamps in the future.

Killer Look by Linda Fairstein, 383 pages

I might be petty, but it's kind of nice to see Alex Cooper not so perfectly put together.

The Elf Queen of Shannara by Terry Brooks, 359 pages

I've really enjoyed working my way back through this great fantasy series.

Emma by Jane Austen, 506 pages

One of my favorite Jane Austen books. I was so glad my book club picked this one, it's probably Austen's funniest and wittiest book.

A new take on the Rapunzel story. Very dark and compelling.

A prequel to The Mammy series by this author. Looking at Agnes' Brown's childhood and such. I love these books, I'm very sad now that I've read them all.

Kilt at the Highland Games by Kaitlyn Dunnett, 279 pages

These aren't bad mysteries, just not my favorite anymore. I'll still pick them up though since they're a fast read.

The Wicked Boy: The Mystery of a Victorian Child Murderer by Kate Summerscale, 378 pages

This is one of the books that has me very grateful that my library takes suggestions for purchase, because it sounded interesting but I can't afford to buy all the books that sound interesting. It looks at the case of Robert Coombes, who at the age of 13, in 1895, killed his mother and then spent the next 10 days having fun and hanging out at home while his mother's body moldered upstairs. The sad thing is that the justice system was much kinder with him than ours is now with juveniles.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl by Ryan North & Erica Henderson, 128 pages

I'd seen a lot of talk about this book, and while I'm not really a Marvel fan I decided to give this a try. One thing I have to say about Marvel is they have a lot of fun with their characters. Imagine a girl with the power of squirrels, trying to start college while saving the world. I totally want to cosplay her now.

Around the World in a Bad Mood by Rene Foss, 200 pages

One of my guilty pleasures is nonfiction books about people with interesting or odd jobs. This book is told by a flight attendant and while it's not as funny or risque as "Coffee, Tea or Me" it's still pretty good.

Something From the Oven, Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America by Laura Shapiro, 306 pages

Picked up this book at the Outlet Mall in the Lake of the Ozarks. It was an interesting look at how the food industry worked at changing how people looked at cooking in the 1950s. Pushing processed foods was a business that needed women to believe they hated cooking and/or it took too much time to cook from scratch. Very well done and an intriguing read.

The Granny by Brendan O'Carroll, 192 pages

The second book in the series by the man who created Mrs. Brown's Boys. A great read.

Mammy by Brendan O'Carroll, 174 pages
