Goldberg's Shining Furies

Fiction

The Scam by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. The latest in the very popular series. I follow Goldberg on Twitter. Goldberg is visiting his in-laws in France and posting lots of photos. Well, the photos are on Instagram but get shared on Twitter.

McKnight in Shining Armor by Tami Hoag. I've never read a Hoag novel. I always think of the Monty Python pronunciation of knight. Kuh-Nig-It.

The End Game by Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison. I think Coulter has a new author photo. You can tell Coulter is a big deal because the photo covers the entire back cover.

Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie. Rushdie was on TV the other day.  He must live in New York now.

Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff. Groff is from somewhere the author bio won't tell you. I'm from Central Illinois.

Dishing the Dirt by M.C. Beaton. Well, Champaign is always described as being in East Central Illinois.

Dance of the Bones by J.A. Jance. You know what else is in East Central Illinois? Soybeans and corn.

Devoted in Death by J.D. Robb. You know what else in the rest of Illinois? Soybeans and corn.

NonFiction

Kaplan ACT 2016: strategies, practice and review by Kaplan, Inc.  You know what's in Wisconsin? Dairy farms and lakes.

Some Girls Read Large Print

Records Made in 1977 are Digitized for Further Distribution on Compact Disk

Some Girls by The Rolling Stones. Englishmen sing songs about decaying New York. The liner notes say: Jagger liked to play loud and mean. "Oh, here comes Lou Reed agin," engineer Chris Kimsey would say every time the singer strapped on his guitar.
