maribouZoo Tails, by Oliver Graham-Jones
I've come across better written zoo memoirs, but this one was quite charming indeed. And the design was fabulous. A pleasure to read.

High Five, by Janet Evanovich
I laughed out loud several times, appreciatively. What more can one ask from funny mystery fluff?

The Cereal Murders, by Diana Mott Davidson
I was expecting just more funny mystery fluff, but this was a cut above that. Only one cut, mind you, but I was happily surprised by the cultural richness of this novel. Also I really liked all the bits set in the Tattered Cover. Yay Tattered Cover!! It may've just been my mood, but I found this one difficult to put down.

Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-Gazer: A Novel, by Sena Jeter Naslund
I fell in love with this book to the point where I found myself avoiding reading it because oh noes, I was more than halfway through it and eventually there wouldn't be any book left. That happens rarely. I should've believed all those people who told me I didn't need to have read Moby Dick or even liked the Melville I had read to love this novel. LOVE LOVE LOVE. It was like reading The Poisonwood Bible, not because of similarities in content or style, but just a similar reading experience. Enveloping.
