Fiction
These Boots Weren't Made for Walking by Melody Carlson. Chick-lit novel where career girl loses job, dumps cheating boyfriend and moves back to her ski-resort hometown and her divorced and dating mom.
The Dead Whisper On by T.L. Hines. Hines' Waking Lazarus has been checking out prety well so I bought this latest one. Seems like a sort of horror or suspense novel. Maybe both.
Knife Edge by Malorie Blackman. "Persephone Hadley is six months pregnant with a mixed race baby...the baby's father, Callum, is dead. He was hanged for terrorism months ago...Callum's brother Jude, blames Sephy for the death and thirsts for revenge." Shelved in the YA section.

NonFiction
Running With the Devil: The True Story of the ATF's Infiltration of the Hell's Angels by Kerrie Droban. I was living in Peoria, AZ in 2003 when there was a major bust of Hell's Angels members and club houses. The bust was possible through the infiltration the Angels' clubs by the ATF and Phoenix PD detectives.
Sharpe's Challenge starring Sean Bean. Whoa. Sean Bean is looking old. I don't recognize the storyline and the credits say "based on the novels by Bernard Cornwell" so I think this is a mix of the novels and the screenwriter's imagination. Anyway, Wellington sends Sharpe to India to investigate a local Maharajah's threat to British power.
Firehouse Dog starring Josh Hutcherson and some hairy dog with floppy ears. This is a kid's movie but that's okay. Hollywood's star acting dog Rex gets lost in an unfamiliar city. Rex is taken in by 12 year old Josh who's dad runs the local fire station. Hijinks ensue.
CDs
Daughtry by Daughtry. So, what's the deal with this guy? He was on American Idol of something? Well, his album has been selling real well.

Fiction
Mysteries
Innocence by David Hosp. Boston attorney Scott Finn takes on convicted El Salvadoran Vicente Salazar. Salazar wants a new trial after being convicted fifteen years ago for shooting an undercover cop. Finn uncovers a trail of corruption from Central America to Boston.
Water's Lovely by Ruth Rendell. More of a suspense novel than a mystery, really. Nine years after her sister Heather found their stepfather drowned in the bath, Ismay and Heather live in the same house with their mother and aunt. When Heather has her first serious relationship Ismay's repressed memories of that drowning start to return.
Night Ferry by Michael Robotham. Robotham wrote Lost about an amnesiac London police detective - it was pretty good. In Night Ferry Ali Barba is on leave from injuries sustained during her police work. Ali gets an invitation from high school friend Cate to attend their reunion. Cate and her husband are run over and killed shortly after Cate's strange plea to Ali for help. Ali investigates and finds that obviously pregnant Cate was faking it, and that Cate may have been pregnant before and her infant taken.
Careful Use of Compliments by Alexander McCall Smith. Curious philosopher Isabel Dalhousie investigates a possible art forgery.
Fiction
Blaze by Richard Bachman (Stephen King). Since King wrote this under his pseudonym we did not have it automatically delivered to us upon publication. Well, here it is. Late but intact. Especially late since King wrote the novel in 1973 then found it and revised it a bit.
Justice Denied by J.A. Jance. I know Jance is really popular for several mystery/detective series. But, I heard her speak at a "liberrian" program at Burton Barr and she really annoyed me. This is one of her J.P. Beaumont books set in Seattle.
Thursday Next: first among sequels by Jasper Fforde. I've never read Fforde's novels. They are supposed to be humorous.
Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell. Both novels in teh same volume. They are certainly not new but we did not have a copy of Animal Farm so I bought this.
What Matters Most by Luanne Rice. The cover has a picture of a lady wearing a straw hat and sitting on some oceanside rocks. Figure it out yourself.
My Summer of Southern Discomfort by Stephanie Gayle. Well reviewed chicklit. Big-time New York City lawyer Natalie heads to southern Georgia after a disastrous romance. Bored with her new job prosecuting small town crooks she has a new suitor with a nervous tic and a new capital case causing her heartburn.
