Zombies!
The Zombie Survival Guide: recorded attacks by Max Brooks. Selected zombie outbreaks from 60,000 BC to 1992 at the Joshua Tree National Park. I really need to buy a good AR15 and stock up on ammo.
Girl Music on CD
Crazy Love by Michael Buble. I'm not curious enough to find out how to put the accent mark on the "e" in his name.
Young Adult
Ruined: a novel by Paula Morris. Your favorite Teen motifs: Teenage girl with absent parents. New Orleans. Creepy house. Tarot reading aunt. Cemeteries. Prep School snobs. Best friend is a ghost. Wrong that must be righted.
Morris is from New Zealand and teaches writing at Tulane ( I wonder if she knows future Nobel Laureate Victor Gischler?). Did I ever mention my fondness for Lion Red beer?
Flora's Dare by Ysabeau S. Wilce. I read the description but have no still have no idea what the heck this is about. I don't know where Wilce is from but she lives in Chicago. Have I ever mentioned my fondness for Goose Island beer?
How to Not Be Popular by Jennifer Ziegler. Hell, that's easy, act like Gerard Saylor.
Large Print
The Professional by Robert B. Parker. Another Spenser novel. Crider will be happy. The regular print version has a big map of Boston on the inside cover so I assume Spenser travels around the city a lot in this one.
Ladies of the Lake by Haywood Smith. Another one of those "Do this or you do not get your inheritance" novels.
Vela Jean Learns to Drive by Jennifer Nevin. "It is a poignant story of a spirited young girl growing up in the gold-mining and moonshining South". Did I mention I just checked out two books on distilling and moonshining?
Hot Pursuit by Suzanne Brockmann. NYC bodyguard is protecting an Assemblywoman when an old murder case gets intertwined. "Suzanne Brockman is widely recognized as a leading voice in romantic suspense." What a coincidence, Gerard Saylor is unrecognized as a trailing voice in online snarkiness.
Acts of Mercy by Mariah Stewart. Serial killer novel with religious overtones.
Case of the Missing Servant by Tarquin Hall. "Meet Vish Puri - India's most private investigator. Portly, persistent, and unmistakably Punjabi, he has the exacting nature of Hercule Poirot and the provincial appeal of Precious Ramotswe."
Rooftops of Tehran by Mahbod Seraji. Teenager in 1973 Tehran hangs out on the roof and lusts for his neighbor before attracting the wrong attention of the secret police.
