One NonFiction, Four Fiction, and One YA Misplaced in Fiction

YA in Fiction

Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan. "A companion to The Forest of Hands and Teeth." Not a sequel to Forest but with a new main character and told from a different community surrounded by the same zombies of Forest. This book came up on the holds list with my wife's name on it. I'm going to check Dead-Tossed out for her but not let her have it until after I read it. I can write that because my wife never reads this blog.

Fiction

The Silent Sea by Clive Cussler and Jack De Brul. Max Allan Collins posted an interesting piece on his blog about co-writing novels. Collins has been finishing some manuscripts left behind by Mickey Spillane and also collaborating with Matthew Clemens. Collins writes that you cannot tell by the cover who is doing most of the work.

Deep Shadow by Randy Wayne White. Another Florida mystery. Who is it that started all this? John D. McDonald? I have yet to read one of his books.

Hell Gate by Linda Fairstein. The cover has some sort of stone tower building on the cover. I'm going assume someone was tied up and thrown off the roof.

Bone Fire by Mark Spragg. A novel set in rural Iowa with meth-heads, Alzheimers disease, and other stuff. We have two copies of this because I screwed up the order. Spragg should be happy about that. Maybe we'll get a thank you note but I doubt it.

NonFiction

Ad Hoc at Home by Thomas Keller. The last back-order of that big cookbook order I did a month or so ago. Ad Hoc is the name of the author's restaurant in California. A big book with lots a pretty pictures. I have a 1.75 liter bottle of Dewar's at home that I got over the weekend. I have not cracked it yet.
