Naked in Death
I'm way behind in blogging about books I've been reading, but I did manage to finish one last night, J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts)'s Naked in Death, which BobbiLynn loaned me. A bit more intense than the mysteries I generally gravitate toward, but I loved the characters and the fact that it takes place in a high-tech future. Its the first of a series of 16 or more, so I may be hooked...
Thank you BobbiLynn for a great recommendation!
Other ones I need to write up from the last few weeks:
The Good Guide (which I read for my Reference class paper and which will be useful for my work at The Tech)
Miss Zukas and the Library Murders (I'm hoping the main librarian character gets a little less stereotypically uptight in later books)
Something from the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America by Laura Shapiro (fabulous! Makes me wish I had majored in sociology and gone on to do cool sociological research like that! Did you know that Betty Friedan and Julia Child came on the scene and published their revolutionary books eight days apart?)
Now that the semester is almost over, its definitely time for a "summer reading" meeting of the book club!
