Big Pile of Stuff

Fiction

The Cuban Affair by Nelson DeMille. Army vet takes a job to go into Cuba and recover millions in dollars left there when Castro took over.

The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson.  Christmas themed romance with a dog and a trailer on vacation trailer on the cover. A horse, too, there is a horse in the background.

Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben. There seems to be a lot of Coben titles with the word 'go'. Let me check... well, I sit corrected. This is the only title with 'go'.

Sleep Like A Baby by Charlaine Harris.  Aurora Teagarden solves crime. I heard Harris speak a few years ago. Her talk was entertaining and interesting. I had all the coffee I could drink and sat next to a nice lady from Chicago who writes mysteries, Clare O'Donohue.

Holly and Ivy by Fern Michaels. Lonely heiress makes a connection before Christmas.

Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions by Amy Stewart. Woman Deputy Sheriff in 1916 New Jersey fights against anti-women laws concerning "waywardness".

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. Aristocrat in 1922 Moscow is under house arrest.

The Essence of Malice by Ashley Weaver. Is Ashley male or female? Let's see... Ashley is a she and works in tech service in Allen Parish Libraries. You what that means? Yep, she is a cataloger. I do so love making jokes about catalogers. The novel sounds interesting: Man and wife travel to Paris when his old nanny suspects murder in the death of her current employer. Great title, too.

A Casualty of War by Charles Todd. Bess Crawford meets an English Army Officer as she travels back to the front in WW1. She meets him a couple more times in medical facilities and wonder if his brain injury is causing his belief that his cousin shot him.

Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. 700 pages. Owen should have just sat there with a red pen to cut down on all the pages his dad keeps typing up.

Comic Book Novel

Batman, the Dark Knight: master race by Frank Miller, et al. "Third chapter" in the Dark Knight series.

NonFiction

Altered Traits: science reveals how meditation changes your mind, brain and body by Daniel Coleman and Richard J. Davidson.
