Four Books
Fiction
Fools and Mortals by Bernard Cornwell. I've not read a Cornwell book in a while. A novel about William Shakespeare's brother, Richard. I bet there are sword fights.
Take by Christopher Reich. Doesn't Reich do corporate and financial intrigue novels? According to the dust cover he lives in Encinitas. I wonder how his house faired in the recent fires.
City of Endless Night by Preston and Child. Cover image is tinged blue. The author photo is the two dudes posing in black shirts against a black background.
The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin. No idea what this is. I'll look... Woman leaves for 1914 Los Angeles, becomes successful screenwriter, makes pals with Marion Pickford, both have love affair troubles.

Books and Photos. Photos and Books.
Fiction
Robicheaux by James Lee Burke. Another mystery novel featuring Dave Robicheaux in Lousiana. Does Burke's daughter teach full-time? Because she publishes regularly and that's a full-time job already.
The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. I wonder if this is a pen name. The author bio never uses a gender pronoun and the bio is skimpy. I guess I could go to the Twitter, Facebook and Instagram links. But, I don't want to.
Promise Not To Tell by Jayne Ann Krentz. Is Krentz the one posing with her small dogs for her author photo? Let's check... Nope. Krentz is Amanda Quick. I'm not sure which name is her real name. Or, if both names are pen names. There is another woman who uses a few pen names. I can picture her face but cannot remember her name. She writes romances, romantic mysteries, and sets one series in a futuristic Dallas. I think.

Crumbling concrete care requires competent and quick repair. These are the front stairs. Good thing they were already slated for replacement.
A fitting bookmark. A piece of cardboard from a box of .22LR that I found in a book on gun care.

New Year, New Books, New Photos
Fiction
Green by Sam Graham-Felsen. Is Sam a male of female? I don't know, let's check... it's a dude. Only white kid in middle school ends up being friends with a black kid. White kid slowly learns about his advantages. My write-up makes the novel sound hokey and preachy. The dust cover write-up makes the novel sound interesting.
Death at Nuremberg by WEB Griffin and William E Butterworth, IV. Cover photo has a guy with a shadowed face pointing a P-38 at the camera. To be fair it might be one of those P1 pistols, the post-war version of the P-38.
Unbound by Stuart Woods. Someone checked out a Woods book a week or two ago and mentioned how each novel is paint by numbers simple.
The Wanted by Robert Crais. Crais puts out some darn fine novels. I am behind on reading the books. This story has both Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.
Carnegie's Maid by Marie Benedict. I have no idea what this is about. Probably one of those "Look inside the world of the rich through the eyes of a long term servant." You know, I first typed term as tern. That could be a neat book; life with the Carnegie's through the eyes of a tern.
-----EMERGENCY MUSICAL INTERLUDE----
----END EMERGENCY MUSICAL INTERLUDE-----
The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce. Cover has someone, presumably a woman, in a green coat. Dust cover says, "1988... run-down suburb... adrift... shop... Ilse... music... wounds... behind... incapable... that... in... their... to... fiction."

Fiction Done By Touch Typing - oops, I looked down
The War Bride's Scrapbook by Caroline Preston. Graphic novel by bride who marries Army engineer. Told in scrapbook form. That's why the book is called "Scrapbook". Of course, it's not really a scrapbook, this is a printed book.
NonFiction
Queen Victoria's Matchmaking: the royal marriages that shaped Europe by Deborah Cadbury. Victoria tried to match up her 30 grandchildren for royal dynasty. Her grandchildren did not always agree.

The touch typing is going okay. I've had to backspace less than 15 times.

Romance, Murder, Mystery, Amish, and Christmas Fiction
Fiction
A Place At Our Table by Amy Clipston. Amish farmer who works as a firefighter is in a romance novel.
The Paris Secret by Karen Swan. Something about an art mystery and rich people.
A Duke in Shining Armor by Loretta Chase. A paperback romance and the library barcode is right on top of the author's first name.
The Plot is Murder by V.M. Burns. A mystery with poodles - according to the cover.
Year One by Nora Roberts. There is a crow with swept back wings on the cover. That image and the font makes this look like a fantasy novel. Let me check... Yep. Some sort of worldwide plague and "magick" replacing science.
The Noel Diary by Richard Paul Evans. Some sort of Christmas themed romance.

Been A While, Huh?
NonFiction
Promise me, Dad: a year of hope, hardship and purpose by Joe Biden. A year of Joe Biden's Vice Presidency as his son was dying with a brain tumor.
Fiction
Enchantress of Numbers by Jennifer Chiaverini. Another historical novel by the lady from Madison. Lord Byron's only legitimate child is a math genius and works with Charles Babbage.
Hidensee by Gregory Maguire. The font for the main title is very difficult to read on the cover. I suppose that does not much matter for a big name author like Maguire.
Mrs. Osmond by John Banville. A sequel to Henry James's Portrait of a Lady.
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty. Chakraborty is easier to spell then I first thought. You just end "borty" on the end of "chakra". Chakraborty is on the Twitter. Let's randomly find a "tweet". Here is one from November 28th: "My nerves and the#StrangersThings2 lab are not doing well together."
Beau Death by Peter Lovesey. Lovesey is difficult to spell. I want to omit that second "e". I like the cover.
In the Midst of Winter by Isabelle Allende. You know who is a big name writer? Allende.

Books and Morrissey
The Magic of Computers Will Translate This Digital Code Into Magnificent Sound Waves
Low in High School by Morrissey. English singer sings in English about spending the day in bed.
Fiction
The Library At The Edge of the World by Felicity HayesMcCoy. Make up your jokes about lost books. This is about a book mobile lady on the West Coast of Ireland. Seems like I recently read about or watched a film about a city in Western Ireland. Let me think... Oh, yeah, it was the Jack Taylor movies. They are set in Galway which is on the west side of the country.
Whispering Room by Dean Koontz. I've read some of Koontz's books but not lately. Koontz really likes dogs.
The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth Berg. Some sort of Lonely Hearts Meet and Make Friends novel.
Past Perfect by Danielle Steel. I always want to stick an 'E' on the end of Steel.
The People Vs. Alex Cross by James Patterson. The tag on the cover says "Alex Cross goes on trial for murder."
Secrets of Cavendon by Barbara Taylor Bradford. Some romance. I think.

New Fiction with Blathering Comments
Fiction
Ghosts of Christmas Past by Rhys Bowen. Rhys is pronounced rees right? I cannot add in the proper pronunciation markers. Dang, I thought Rhys was a male name. Or, is it kinda like Chris or Pat?
End Game by David Baldacci. Another one of those novels by Baldacci about hired killers. Baldacci started a foundation to promote literacy, that's pretty groovy.
Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich. The popular bounty hunter returns. At least I think she is still a bounty hunter. Maybe she became a radio host. Let's check... yep, still a bounty hunter.
Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich. I don't think I have ever read an Erdrich novel. Let me check her pub list... Nope, not yet, I'll get to it later. Plague of Doves has a great cover though.
American Drifter by Heather Graham and Chad Michael Murray. Graham has a new author photo, that's cool. I wonder how this collaboration worked. Max Allan Collins has written before about his collaborations and I think learning about about those working relationships is interesting.
Artemis by Andy Weir. The Martian was a massive, massive hit as Weir's first novel. I hope he does well with this story. Crime novel set on a lunar colony.
Count to Ten by James Patterson and Ashwin Sanghi.

Reacher is Reachs Wisconsin
Reacher
Midnight Line by Lee Child. Reacher sees a West Point class ring in pawn shop in a "small town." I call BS on that. There are not many pawn shops in WI let alone small town WI.
Fiction
In This Moment by Karen Kingsbury. Looks like some sort of romance. The cover sasy "The Baxter Family" so this must be part of a series. Hey, let's critique Kingsbury's author photo... it's a nice one. Kingsbury is wearing blue and a real photographer took the photo, it's not a cropped family snapshot like on some books. Well done.
The House of Unexpected Sisters by Alexander McCall Smith. Latest novel in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Now let's critique Smith's photo... Same photo as usual. Smith is outside and wearing a hat. The image is kinda grainy though. I wonder if that is a problem with the printing or the image quality.
NonFiction
State of Craft Beer by Matthew Janzen and Chris Walker. Wisconsin Wisconsinites write about Wisconsin beer and Wisconsin breweries by driving Wisconsin and visiting Wisconsin people in Wisconsin. Except Lake Mills, according to the index anyway. The book has lots and lots of pretty photographs and the entire book was produced in Wisconsin.

Here Are Some Books
Fiction
Hope at Christmas by Nancy Naigle. Another one of those single older-person-meets-someone-new-(or old friend)-at-hometown.
Two Kinds of Truth by Michael Connelly. Another Bosch novel.
Crazy Like A Fox by Rita Mae Brown. Another one of those novels with a nice drawing on the cover.
A Christmas Return by Anne Perry. Another Christmas novel featuring Perry's Pitt characters.
Typhoon Fury by Clive Cussler and Boyd Morrison. The cover image says, "Trains. Train Tunnel. People running on top of the train."
Every Breath You Take by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke. What is the deal with Alafair Burke? Does she teach full time? Because she publishes on a regular schedule and that has to take a good amount of time. If she is teaching law full-time and publishing that is very impressive.
NonFiction
What Unites Us: reflections on patriotism by Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner. Essays on being a citizen and American.
