Casual Cat Died Again

AudioBook on CD

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling.  15 CDs at 18 hours.  I was listening ti BBC news yesterday and there was a conversation guessing what reader reactions would be to this, Rowling's first adult novel.  Especially since the novel has sex scenes. Phooey, her work was already popular with adults.

Fiction

What the Cat Saw by Carolyn Hart.  We have a saying in my house, "Cats are evil."  Okay, I have that saying in my house and the others say, "Aww, he's [one of two cats] is so cute and lovey."

The Woman Who Died A Lot by Jasper Fforde.  Fjords?  New Zealand has those.

NonFiction

America Again: re-becoming the greatness we never weren't by Stephen Colbert.  3-D photos in color.  3-D glasses to go with.  Great, libraries loooove it when little extra things like glasses and cards are added to books and have to be tracked.  We really love it when we have to bill people for losing those pieces.  We really, really love it when people contest those bills.  Because of that I'm not going to worry if the little cardboard and plastic glasses go missing.

We do but we tend to call them Sounds as in Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. Dunedin
