American Buzzard in Training
Feb. 3rd, 2009 09:39 amPrincess-in-Training, by Meg Cabot
Floof, pure floofy floof. But fun. I am relieved to discover that it wasn't that I was sick of the series when I stopped reading before, but just that Anne Hathaway was so much better at reading them than Clea Lewis turned out to be.

American Widow, by Alissa Torres (ARC)
Sad graphic novel, non-fiction by a woman whose husband died on 9/11. Very well put together. Not much else to say about it - I read it in chunks and I think I would've been more affected/impressed if I'd read it all at once... but I suspect the reading it in chunks was a deliberate distancing on my part, so.

The Old Buzzard Had it Coming, by Donis Casey
Excellent mystery, first in a series starring a just-past-the-turn-of-the-twentieth-century Oklahoman farmwife named Alafair Tucker. It reads really easily and the mystery kept me engrossed - I had a pretty good idea who I thought did it about halfway through, but she kept me second-guessing right up til near the end. And the characters are supremely endearing... like reading the Little House or Anne books, only for grown-ups. Er, and with a murder mystery attached:). Homey but not cutesy.
