Coffee Guy Writes a Book

Fiction

Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler.  Four men in Wisconsin.  Butler's novel has gotten a lot of attention, my father even saw a review.  I read something in the Madison paper over the weekend about Butler formerly being a poetry writing coffee roaster.  That article was talking about this.

Missing You by Harlan Coben.  Some sort of conspiracy, murder, lost love novel. 

Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi.  Woman marries guy.  They have dark skinned baby.  Guy was black passing as white in 1953.  Things happen.  Helen has long hair and is English.

Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett.  Another Discworld novel with a steam engine.  Pratchett has a SciFiGuy beard.

Cairo Affair by Olen Steinhauer.  Steinhauer writes some fine spy thrillers.  This one is mainly set in Cairo.

NYPD RED 2 by James Patterson Literary Prodcuts, Amalgamated and Marshall Karp. 

Kill Fee by Owen Laukkanen.  Crime novel. With a name by Laukkanen I wonder if her spends all his spare time in a sauna.

NonFiction

Psychology: a very short introduction by Gillian Butler and Freda McManus.  Page 80 says, "Cases of extreme neglect have also been used to help understand the reversibility of early deprivation."
