Simon & Kirby Library Science Fiction by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, 351 pages

I reviewed this for Night Owl Reviews. This is not my normal cup of tea because I'm not really a scifi fan (except for the original Star Trek) but this was a comic collection and featured some of the earliest sci fi comics, so I thought I'd give it a go. It was interesting to read and see what the writers/artists of the 40s and 50s foresaw in the future, and comics are kind of timeless.

Heirs and Graces by Rhys Bowen, 295 pages

I'm a big fan of the Lady Georgiana Rannoch mystery series. As 35th in line for the crown, Georgiana is unlikely to ever rule, but it does mean she can't really work for a living but is expected to live up to a certain standard. So when she is invited to a posh estate to help groom a long lost heir from Australia, Georgiana jumps at the chance, especially when Darcy turns up. But a murder quickly follows with the heir as the prime suspect. Georgiana and Darcy must work together to prove the Australian heir's innocence and find the murderer before they strike again.

Affliction by Laurell K. Hamilton, 570 pages

I got to review this for Night Owl, which means I have a nice hardback copy of a book by an author I've been reading forever. I've enjoyed the Anita Blake books since they first came out, but have been a little turned off by the extremely sexual turn the series has taken. This one lightened up a little so I enjoyed it more than I have the last few ones.
Anita has dealt with zombies for a long time, and is an expert on them. But the zombies attacking a Colorado area are unlike any she's ever seen before. And Micah's dad is the latest victim of their attacks. Anita will face a challenge unlike any other, and could lose some of men closest to her, if she doesn't die herself.

Candy Freak by Steve Almond, 264 pages

This book explored some of the history of candy in America, and was just a homage to candy in general. I really enjoyed just how passionate he got about his favorite candy. It was funny and I just enjoyed the whole thing, but I was really craving a Twix or KitKat by the end.

All-of-A-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor, 189 pages

There is just something about children's books based in the early nineteen hundreds, especially about immigrant families. This family of five stepping stone girls are industrious, cheerful, and eager to visit their local library, so how can you not love this book. It was a sweet read.

The Coffee Tea or Me Girls Get Away From It All by Trudy Baker and Rachel Jones, 229 pages

These Coffee Tea or Me Girls books are a guilty pleasure of mine. Written in the 70s, it's the sexual escapades of two stewardesses and their friends. The books are funny and just a great bit of mind candy.

The Adventures of Buffalo Bill by Col. William F. Cody, 174 pages

This was an old book that I picked up at a garage sale because it looked interesting. This was a little disjointed and not the best book I've read, but Buffalo Bill did have a high opinion of himself.
