I'm so behind! At least I have a new faster laptop from which to write my tiny book reviews.

I've hit 29 books so far this year...woooohoooo!!!

Sleeping with Ward Cleaver, #16

I first heard about this book in Writers Digest. It was a contest winner. Ienjoyed this story and I really liked the characters; however, the language left something to be desired. I don't think I'm a prude, but good grief there was a LOT of not-great language in this book!

The Book of Dead Birds, #15 of 2008

This book is quite literary and very sad, yet still has an optimistic tone. Brandeis is an amazing writer. I really enjoyed this book.

This is the second in Sharon Dunn's Bargain Hunter Mystery series of books, and I enjoyed it MUCH more than the first book (which I found to be sad). More comedy in this one! Sharon Dunn is an author to watch out for!

I picked this up at the library and enjoyed it for the most part. It's a cute story with a twist that I was proud of myself for figuring out just before the heroine did! :) It's also my first Crusie book, and won't be my last.

Someday is the third in the Sunrise Series, the final series about the Baxter family. I jokingly call these books "Christian Crack" and I'm only halfway kidding...they are amazingly addictive! I love them all, and if I actually kept each one, my house would be more overrun with books than it already is!

Decaffeinated Corpse is the fifth in the Coffeehouse Mystery series by Cleo Coyle. More adventures with Clare Cosi, the manager of the Village Grounds. These books are a LOT of fun!
