NonFiction

World Atlas of Musical Instruments by Bozhidar Abrashev and Vladimir Gadjev.  We had an older, similar book that was kinda dingy with black and white photos.  This one is new with great color photos.

Fiction (Release date for tomorrow, March 26th)

Leaving Everything Most Loved by Jacqueline Winspear.maisie Dobbs investigates the death of an Indian woman in 1933 London.

Killer Honeymoon by G.A. McKevett.  Now that plus-sized P.I. Savannah Reid has finally walked down the aisle, she's ready for aromantic island getaway with new husband Dirk Coulter...but finding a dead body on the beach can be a real killjoy.

Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout. I read some references to this recently, maybe in the Sunday newspaper.  Speaking of the newspaper, the delivery person for the Madison paper seems incapable of getting the paper onto the porch.  The paper usually lands in the snowy yard or on the snow and up against the far side of the porch.

Death of Yesterday by M.C. Beaton.  Cover painting has a bicycle on the side of a rural road.  Maybe the newspaper carrier in this novel ditched his bike to go fishing on the background stream.

Let the Dead Sleep by Heather Graham.  Some sort of mystery or something.  Maybe I would know what the novel is about because maybe a review was in the Sunday paper.  But, since I did not want to traipse across the snow for the paper before church yesterday morning, and was busy the rest of the day, I did not find out. 

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger.  A brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world [or newspaper delivery] that seems to be falling apart around him.

DVD

Roman Holiday starring Gregory OPeck and Audrey Hepburn.  Peck and Hepburn tool around Rome on a scooter stopping to drink espresso and complain about newspaper delivery back home.

A New Kind of Love starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.  Romantic comedy.
