3 Fic, 4 NonFic
Fiction
August Snow by Stephen Mack Jones. I wonder if this is set in the Southern Hemisphere. Let me check... nope. Set in the Detroit and the title is the main character's name.
Chilbury Ladies' Choir by Jennifer Ryan. This has a one of our "Recommended By" bookmarks with Marilyn's name written on the mark.
On Turpentine Lane by Elinor Lipman. Something about a woman with a lame job an absent fiancee. I think hijinks and romance ensue. I am not sure.
'Recommended By' Bookmarks
I stole the idea from Oconomowoc Public Library. Those of you from outside Wisconsin can find the pronunciation guide here: http://misspronouncer.com/cities.html. I created some images on canva.com then printed, cut and laminated. I was putting my name on these and the books would just sit there. So, I just start putting fake names on there.
NonFiction
The CHEW Approved: the most popular recipes from The Chew Viewers. This show is on TV when I get home for lunch. I immediately turn the channel. When Boy #1 was still 3 or 4-years-old I'd come home from lunch and I would watch truck racing on ESPN.
In the Company of Women: inspiration and advice from over 100 makers, artists, and entrepreneurs by Grace Bonney. Let's look for writers... aww, they are not grouped by profession. I'll do a brief scan of the names... nope, only poets. "Only poets," what an accidental slight that was.
Legends of Pro Wrestling: 150 years of headlocks, body slams, and piledrivers by Tim Hornbaker.
Art in Detail: 100 masterpieces by Susie Hodge. A thick book with a whole bunch of photos.

Quarry and a Bunch of NonFiction
DVD
Quarry: the complete first season starring Logan Marshall-Green. TV adaptation of the lead character from Max Allan Collins's fantastic novels about a hit man. Logan come back from Vietnam with no job and a cheating wife. He gets forced by The Broker to kill for a living. Cinemax posted the first two episodes on YouTube for a brief time and the show was very interesting.
NonFiction
The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood. Do you think the author ever considers adding a 'M' and being Wormwood? Wormwood is on page 635.
Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger. Well, if it was your mother's did you steal it?
Brew it yourself: make your own beer, wine, hard cider and other concoctions by Nick Moyle and Richard Hood. My brother went to the Czech and the Slovak Republics and tracked down sone distant relatives. The relatives gave my brother a bottle of home brewed vodka which he brought to WI when several relatives met here last summer. My goodness was that vodka vile. Yech. The bottle is still at my house.
The DC Comics Encyclopedia: the definitive guide to the characters of the DC universe. Wait. Should "universe" be capitalized in a subtitle? I suppose that depends on the relationship with the company name, DC.
Pojo's Unofficial Big Book of Pokemon by [no name]. People still dig this. I'm not sure why but they do.
Fiction
Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. Some novel that is supposed to be a big deal.
Heartbreak Hotel by Jonathan Kellerman. Another mystery or something. We also have the audiobook version.
Robots
Beep. Beep-Beep. Whirr. Beep. Beep. Whirr-whirrr-whirr. Beep.
