Cautionary Tales for Children by Hilaire Belloc, 72 pages

I picked this up because Edward Gorey had illustrated it. A totally irreverent read, that was lots of fun.

The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo, 362 pages

Victorian Murderesses by Mary S. Hartman, 318 pages

I was very excited to read this nonfiction look at thirteen French and English women who committed murder. The only problem is that the book read more like the author's thesis than a book. It was way too dry to be truly enjoyable, and serves best as a research tool. By the end I was really having to push myself to finish the book.

The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls by Emilie Autumn, 264 pages

Rebecca was telling me about this book that she'd heard about. It sounded really intriguing so I borrowed it from her after she was done. This was huge disappointment. It alternates between two stories, one girl in a asylum in current day and one in Victorian time, both committed after trying to commit suicide. The storyline based in Victorian time was a good read, I could have completely done without the modern day time.

Kabbalah by Lawrence Kushner, 194 pages

A Readers Without Borders book club book. Everyone else seemed to enjoy it a lot more than I did.

Queen of Hearts by Rhys Bowen, 295 pages

The latest Lady Georgie book has her traveling to America with her mother. Caught up in the bright lights of Hollywood, murder soon follows.

Cat Person by Seo Kim, 144 pages

This was a very difficult to follow graphic novel/comic collection. There were a few that were funny, but most just left me scratching my head and thinking "huh?"
