I think I've almost read too many of these to keep track of old plot details. It makes it really hard to enjoy the new ones.

Saga, Volume Five by Fiona Staples and Brian Vaughan, 152 pages
This graphic novel series is ripping the heart out of me. Can't we have at least one happy part in the book. Dang it, now I've got to wait months before the next one comes out.
Ornaments of Death by Jane K. Cleland, 291 pages
I've been reading the Josie Prescott Antiques mysteries from the very beginning. I've really enjoyed them over the years, but I haven't found myself loving the last few for some reason. With this book, I finally figured it out. The fact that Josie seems to have a perfect life, i.e., parents who adored her, the perfect man who loves her, an amazing business, and friends who dote on her, make her books almost a slap in the face for those of us who don't have such an amazing life. I'll keep reading the mysteries but not with such an eager attitude.

Reads Well With Others by Gene Ambaum & Bill Barnes, 120 pages
The newest Unshelved collection. They are spot on about the joys and dangers of working in a library.
The Ghost and Lady Alice by Marion Chesney, 222 pages
A co-worker checked out this book and it reminded me of how much I enjoy Marion Chesney's regency romances, so I checked it out as well. The Eighth Duke of Haversham is called back to help Alice, a cruelly treated servant to the Tenth Duke. The ghostly Duke comes up with a plan to launch Alice into society, but a growing love between the two could ring a death knell to his plans.
The Regency romances by Chesney are always fun, sweet and an enjoyable read. I think I'll have to go back and pick up some of my old favorites again.
