Fiction
Johnny Porno by Charlie Stella. 1973 New York City and unemployed John Albano is collecting mob receipts for illegal showings of Deep Throat. The newly nicknamed Johnny Porno has to deal with a vengeful ex-cop, a crazy ex-wife, and an angry mobster's nephew. Getting this dang novel took forever. First, I had to wait for publication. Second, the novel took forever to ship. Third, getting the book cataloged took forever. Stella does good work.
Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst. Furst also does good work. Spy novel set in World War Two.
Whiplash by Catherine Coulter. How many novels a year feature cover photos or illustrations of D.C. landmarks like the White House, Capitol Building and various memorials?
Crossing Oceans by Gina Holmes. Single mom with terminal illness returns home to try and find a permanent home for her young daughter. Daughter's father understandably shocked when he finds out he has a daughter.
Lowcountry Summer by Dorothy Benton Frank. Sequel to Plantation.
Our Red Hot Romance is Leaving Me Blue by Dixie Cash. When I was selecting (picking out books to purchase) I looked up this author in our catalog. The only other novel of Cash's that the library has is from 2005 but has checked out 33 freaking times! That is a lot for a small place like this.
Frankenstein: Lost Souls by Dean Koontz. What, no dogs?
That Perfect Someone by Johanna Lindsey. Shirtless guys from paperback romances sure have started to sneak onto hardcovers like this one. I first mistyped shirtless as shortless. Maybe that will be the next trend.
NonFiction
