New York City Restaurants: 2014 by Micheline Guides. Page 133 says, "Those who wax poetic on the virtues of the perfect roast chicken need look no farther."
Let's Go London Oxford and Cambridge by Beatrice Franklin and William Locke. "The student travel guide." I presume that means lots of coverage of bars and cheap hotels. Page 123 says, "Lodging options in Cambridge are notoriously bad. There are few affordable rooms near the town center, and overpriced, occasionally sketchy bed and breakfasts fill the area to the north and south of town."

Another Lansdale? Another Abbott? An Oates?
Made Up Stories
Dangerous Women edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. Stories by Joe R. Lansdale, Megan Abbott, Lawrence Block, other people I have never read. Because we don't already have shelf fulls of those first three.
Perfect by Rachel Joyce. This cover reminds me of The Bell Jar. Not sure what the story is about. Something about a 11-year-old suddenly seeing adult realities. Or something. Joyce is English.
The Dead and Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley. This title reminds me of one of Lee Goldberg's Monk novels that is partially set in the Parisian catacombs. I was reading one of the 39 Clues novels aloud to Boy #2 and they went into the catacombs as well. I've never been to Paris but was in the Frankfurt airport for a couple hours. Yeah, I know it is a different country.
Carthage by Joyce Carol Oates. Is Oates so experience and skilled she barely even revises anymore? She writes so much I wonder if all that experience has things falling right together. Or, when she does end up in stuck she can quickly surmount the problem. I've been intending to read her book on boxing.
Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan. Another historical novel by Horan who hit it big with Loving Frank. This has Robert Louis Stevenson as a main character. I listened to Kidnapped a few years ago. That is a good tale.
Worthy Brown's Daughter by Phillip Margolin. I don't think I've read any of this guy's novels. None of the titles are familiar. Margolin's glasses frames do not surround his lenses.
Large Print
Prince of Risk by Christopher Reich. I just read a blog post today by someone attended a book talk by Reich and did not enjoy the talk at all.
Bellman and Black by Diane Setterfield. I think this is kinda sci-fi/fantasy/horror. Or, maybe not.

Shooter's Knives
NonFiction
The Breastfeeding Bible by Dr. Penny Stanway. I was so sure we had recently bought a book on breastfeeding. We did add one a year ago but I thought it was more recently purchased. Dang, this is the sixth edition.
Ask A Science Teacher: 250 answers to questions you've always had about how everyday stuff really works by Larry Scheckel. I'm going to take this home for Boy #1. Page 13 says, " In 1900, Austrian doctor Karl Landsreiner found a basis for classifying human blood into four groups."

London's Secrets: Museums and Galleries by Robbi Atilgan and David Hampshire. Couldn't you just throw a rock in the and see whatever historic place it lands on? Probably, but the rock will not provide neat little reviews and photos.
Paris: 2014 by Eyewitness Travel. Great travel guides.
Crash and Burn by Artie Lange. The latest autobio update by the comedian. I assume he discusses his breakdown and suicide attempt.
Financially Fearless by Alexa Von Tobbel, CFP. Financial planning exercises to have a "realistic financial game plan tailored to your priorities, your dreams, and your lifestyle."
The Kick-Ass Writer by Chuck Wendig. I cannot recall why I bought this. I think I read a recommendation online. No author photo but there is an index.

Two Rivers and a Crocodile
Fiction
Dead To Me by Cath Staincliffe. Manchester UK detectives investigate murder of a teen girl. Difficult to tell from the author photo if Staincliffe has red or brown hair. The photo is kinda small, what's up with that? Why post the author photo and make it super tiny? Not like the inside back dustcover is filled with other information. Staincliffe lives in Manchester.
Hazardous Duty by W.E.B.Griffin and William E. Butterworth IV. Another shoot'em up by the writing duo. Page 209 says, "Castillo then turned to the women taking sun in lounge chairs beside the swimming pool."

Paytton lives in Vancouver and has greying hair. His grey hair stays straight, I suppose he doesn't need haircuts as often as I.

Stack of Books on My Desk
Fiction
A Star for Mrs. Blake by April Smith. Dang. I don't think I ever heard about this, "The United States Congress in 1929 passed legislation to fund travel for mothers of the fallen soldiers of World War I to visit their sons' graves in France."
Mrs. Lincoln's Rival by Jennifer Chiaverini. Daughter of Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury was a political and social rival of Mary Todd Lincoln.
Delivering Death by Julie Kramer. Kramer lives in White Bear Lake. White Bear Lake is named from an Indian Romeo and Juliet style tale with an attacking white bear. Rowr!
Pagan Lord by Bernard Cornwell. Did Cornwall write another novel about Englishmen killing Frenchmen? Let's take a look... Nope, he's still doing Vikings versus Englishmen. I cannot tell if this is a new story or continues a series. Read it and let me know.
Death Trade by Jack Higgins. Higgins "lives on Jersey in the Channel Islands". The summer's there look fantastic.
Standup Guy by Stuart Woods. These are ghostwritten, right? There is a new one every four months or so.
Andrew's Brain by E.L. Doctorow. I did not like Homer & Langley but thought The Waterworks was fantastic. I tried listening to The March but the audio file was corrupted and I did not finish the book. Billy Bathgate was good.
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. I kinda missed the boat on this one because the novel came out further back in 2013. But, Catton won the 2013 Booker Prize. Catton is from New Zealand. New Zealand is relatively small so maybe regular blog reader Dunedin has met her.
Hollow City: the second novel of Miss Peregrine's peculiar children by Ransom Riggs. Ransom uses old photos, or photos made to look old, or photoshopped photos and incorporates them into his story. I watched a program on BookTV once about how dead children were often photographed and posed for families' to have an image of the kid. I just searched the BookTV website and could not find the dang program.
First Love by James Patterson and Emily Raymond. Cover has a picture of two people standing in water and locking lips. Patterson cranks out novels all the time but I give the guy big credit for naming his co-authors and not hiding them behind a curtain.
Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. According to a the sticker on teh cover this is part of "Oprah's Book Club 2.0". Oh, yeah, Secret Life of Bees, I knew she wrote a big name novel. Kidd lives in Florida and has short hair.

Restless by Kasey Lansdale. Singers sings songs of country. "Another Lansdale?" you say. "Yeah," I say. "Why not? We've got all of His Ownself's recent books. We even have a movie his son did." Here is Lansdale in Italy. Lansdales, apparently, are big in Italy.

The Dead Man: volume 6: Colder Than Hell: Evil to Burn: Streets of Blood by Lee Goldberg, William Rabkin, Anthony Neil Smith, Lisa Klink, and Barry Napier. Latest print editions of the e-book originals. Klink wrote an earlier Dead Man novella, Slaves to Evil. I read that hoping it would stink and I could write Klink goes clunk. But, the story was good, so I didn't. Smith has a story in here that I've put off reading because I think the e-book stuff is a hassle.
Zora and Me by Victoria Bond and T.R. Simon. This is actually a kid's book. But I already incorporated the book title into into the blog post title and I don't want to change anything. Girl thinks a gator-man killed someone.

Melodies and Voices Purposefully Blended Together and Then Recorded
Wildewoman by Lucius. Two girl singers sing songs of pop. I think they might be hipsters. They live in Brooklyn. I cannot recall how I came to order this. When looking them up I found a brief radio interview.

NonFiction
Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: what everyone needs to know by P.W. Singer and Allan Friedman. "Provide[s] the kind of wasy-to-read yet deeply informative resource book that has been missing on this crucial issue of 21st century life."
Hydrofracking: what everyone needs to know by Alex Prud'homme. My cousin started a drilling services company and does a lot of work with hydrofracturing operations. He was mentioning how the method is only worthwhile because oil and gas prices are high. He said that about 1.5 years ago though, maybe extraction costs are down.
Musical Interlude Extra
I got to thinking about The Kinks.
One Davies sister moved to Australia. They missed her.
I had thought David Watts was joke about a guy dating another sister. I just read a different story that was a pal of the band. Heck if I know the truth, the sources are murky.
