100% Whole Grin Rose is Rose by Pat Brady, 128 pages

I like comics, what can I say.

Rose is Rose in Loving Color by Pat Brady, 128 pages

I have like Rose is Rose since I lived in Jefferson City and took the St. Louis newspaper, mainly for the huge comic page. Glad to revisit an old friend.

Rose is Rose 15th Anniversary Collection by Pat Brady, 128 pages

I especially like the family based comics, they hit closer to home. There really is nothing more relaxing than reading a nice comic collection before falling asleep to help you have pleasant dreams.

Brace Yourself by Jan Eliot, 191 pages

This Stone Soup collection features the newest addition to the Stone clan, Joan and Wally's baby. I'd started following this comic after this, so it was interesting to get this back story. Still one of the funniest comics I've read, especially with two teen daughters myself.

A Soul of Steel by Carole Nelson Douglas, 395 pages

The best recommendation I can make for this book is that I had a huge pile of books to read, including library and review books, and I still picked up this book I've read before to enjoy. Nell Huxleigh continues to narrate her life with Irene Adler and her dashing husband Godfrey Norton, enjoying their new life in France. A figure from Nell's past stumbles into her arms, propelling Nell and Irene into what could be their deadliest mystery to date. And what's a mystery without Sherlock Holmes showing up?

A Great Deliverance by Elizabeth George, 413 pages

I'd had this book on my want to read list for about a year and finally got around to it. I don't remember what put it on my list, but I can't say I would have been upset to have missed it. It was an extremely dark and depressing, and didn't wrap as happily and nicely as I like.

When the Maquess Met His Match by Laura Lee Ghurke, 374 pages

I'm a fan of Regency romances, so I'm always glad to get a new one from Night Owl. This was pretty well-written and funny, a combination I always like in a book.
