The Provincial Lady in Wartime by E.M. Delafield, 349 pages

I've reached the totally sad place of being at the end of this series. I've really enjoyed these books written as the diary of a lady in England during the 1930s and beginning of 1940s. This one covers England's entry into war against Hitler, and, as only Delafield can do, is completely hilarious and irreverent. These have been a wonderful treat to read.

Off the Grid by P.J. Tracy, 305 pages

I've been hooked on the Monkeewrench books since the very first one. I like seeing how Grace has grown and opened up, and the mysteries are dark and well-crafted. This one combined terrorists with the sex trade, and threw in an Indian reservation. I really enjoyed reading it.

The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury by Robert Kirkman & Jay Bonansinga, 277 pages

Lisa has reviewed this book already so I will just say I'm a big fan of The Walking Dead, be it tv, graphic novels, or books. It's people stripped down to their core essential, be it good, bad, or just plain human.

My Mother Was Nuts by Penny Marshall, 326 pages

I've been a big fan of Penny Marshall ever since I first saw Laverne & Shirley as a child. I can remember going as her one Halloween with a big L on my sweater. But I never realized just how connected she was to the Hollywood scene and what movies she had directed. Her book was just as funny and slightly twisted as she always had struck me as being. It was also enjoyable getting a behind the scenes look at Laverne & Shirley and an explanation for the final season that had only Laverne.

The Highly Effective Detective Goes to the Dogs by Richard Yancey, 329 pages

Teddy Ruzak is one of the most fumbling detectives of all times. But he is sweet and funny, reminds me a lot of Barney Fife. I really enjoy this series.

Last To Die by Tess Gerritsen, 338 pages

I've been a fan of the Tess Gerritsen books for probably at least 10 years now, but the last few books have just gotten really strange. It's not that they're bad books, they're just not as good as the first ones were, at least in my opinion.

The Daughters Break the Rules by Joanna Philbin, 276 pages

The daughters of the extremely wealthy and famous learn how to deal with their parents fame in their own life. Written by Regis Philbin's daughter, so it reads pretty true.
