Ganong, by David Folster
This captivating coffee table book has wonderful pictures of chocolates and especially of old advertisements and chocolate boxes - some of them made me laugh out loud. The text is competent and interesting but unabashedly cheers for the company. Perfect for reading while lazing about and eating Chicken Bones.

Inside Job, by Connie Willis
Charming little story about skepticism, debunking, and H. L. Mencken, not her very best work but still up to par.

Prince Edward Island Memories, by Laurie Brinklow, illustrated by Hannelore Kennedy
I was feeling a bit homesick so I decided to finally read this little book about PEI in the hopes that it would soothe the urge. Of course, it just made me INCREDIBLY homesick (especially because of the pretty pretty art and my grammy's name on the acknowledgements page) and I even got a bit weepy. Oops. Still, it is a neat little book.

Colter, by Rick Bass
If you care at all about a) dogs, b) hunting (I mean good hunting, not dumb shit that passes for hunting these days), or c) being outside in less than storybook-perfect weather, this book is more than worth reading. I absolutely loved it and Rick Bass continues to shine in my estimation.

I'm going to have to look for that little P.E.I. book. :)
