Mysteries
Of All Sad Words by Bill Crider. Crider's latest Sheriff Dan Rhodes novel. Rhodes is the sheriff of a rural Blacklin County in Texas. To Rhodes the saddest words are, "It seemed like a good idea at the time." More humor and adventure from Crider. I guarantee Rhodes will deal with idiots and get beat up by someone.
An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear. I like the cover illustration.
Carrot Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke. Another one of those recipe murders.
Fiction
Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella. Lexi went from working girl to big-shot executive in three years. Too bad she just lost three years worth of memory in a car wreck.
Honor Thyself by Danielle Steel. Release date of February 26th.
Fast Track by Fern Michaels. The Sisterhood goes after more revenge or something.
Large Print
First Patient by Michael Palmer. Judging from the title and cover illustration this is about the President's doctor and is some sort of thriller.

One DVD and One Book
DVD
American Gangster starring Rusell Crowe and Denzel Washington. Crime pays for a while, then you go to prison. Contains both the theatrical version and the "extended" version. This also has Cuba Gooding, Jr. in it. That guy is good in everything. Ted Levine is in this too. I don't think that Levine always dies like he used to in older flicks like Heat and Silence of the Lambs.
NonFiction
American Ruins by Arthur Drooker. Black and white photos from across the U.S. of ruined buildings. Indian dwellings in the Western desert, antebellum mansions in the South, the Bethlehem Steel Mill, a ghost town in Nevada.
