An Abundance of Katherines by John Green: (Young Adult) Loved it. It has buddies. It has angst. It's quirky. It's witty. (Don't be afraid of the math.) Try it. John Green has a blog too.All We Ever Wanted Was Everything by Janelle Brown: Just when her husband hits it big, he divorces her. A much edgier book than most of its type.
Death's Autograph by Marianne MacDonald: I thought I might try a new mystery series, but it wasn't that exciting. Set in an antiquarian bookshop. (Maybe that should have been a clue!)
Murder with All the Trimmings by Elaine Viets: Didn't like it as much as the Dead End Job series, but it was okay. The main character is a mystery shopper.
Accessory to Murder by Elaine Viets: See, I didn't hate it! I read a second one. I liked this one better, because the mystery shopping was more integrated into the plot.
The Invisible Wall: A Love Story that Broke Barriers by Harry Bernstein: A memoir about a street in an English town where all the Christian families live on one side, and all the Jewish families live on the other. Great book.The Anglo Files by Sarah Lyall: Subtitled "A Field Guide to the British," it has its moments, but was not what I expected. I mean, no chapter about tea?

I have ben trying to read all the Anne Perry "Inspector and Charlotte Pitt" books that I have never read. My friend came over New Year's Day and loaned me one of the Anne Perry Christmas books (which I gave her for her birthday) - but her husband also loaned me one of his Christmas books ( as in present) which was actually fun. It was written by Robert Parker and was a "Spencer" book. Tough guys, very funny,easy read, clever mystery. I don't know that I will want to read about Spencer obsessively - but, if another one passes my way, I'll probably read it.
