Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick, 637 pages

Jacque had mentioned she was getting ready to read this because she'd heard great things about it. I gave it a look and was intrigued. It was an outstanding read. I loved how the two stories were told via different mediums, one through words and one through pictures. I highly recommend this book.

The Handsome Man's De Luxe Cafe by Alexander McCall Smith, 371 pages

I really enjoy the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Each one continues to be a solid read, and the character development is wonderful. I'd never really cared that much for Charlie before, but he's really starting to grow on me after this book. All in all, a great read.

This is Your Captain Speaking by Gavin MacLeod with Mark Dagostino, 261 pages

I admit it, I'm a sucker for the Love Boat. I'm working my way through the series again in fact. So when I saw that Captain Stubing, aka Gavin MacLeod wrote a book about his life I had to read it. Unfortunately, it was okay but not fantastic. But I'm glad to know that the actor seems to be as nice in life as the character he plays on the Love Boat.

The Best of Archie Comics, Book #3, 416 pages

It was interesting to see how much Archie has changed over the past 70 years, while still staying true to itself. The comics are just good, clean fun.

Cookie Dough or Die by Virgina Lowell, 295 pages

I'd gotten this book for my husband because the mystery series features a store that sells cookies and cookie cutters. Unfortunately, it didn't include any recipes or really center that much on cookies I felt like. While it wasn't a bad series,
I won't be getting any more for my husband.

Archie 1000 Page Comics Extravaganza, 1000 pages

I've been an Archie's fan for many, many years now. It was entertaining to read some old favorites and see some of the strips I'd missed over the years.
