Anyone else going to join in this month?

A Colder Kind of Death by Gail Bowen
Another of the mystery series set in Canada/Regina. I like them -- just enough actual substance that I don't feel like I'm reading total fluff, too.
217 pages

Money Changes Everything: 22 Writers Tackle the Last Taboo with Tales of Sudden Windfalls, Staggering Debts, and Other Surprising Turns of Fortune edited by Jenny Offill & Elissa Schappell
Interesting essays. Just a warning. Don't spend 4 days in a row looking on Craigslist for a apartment you can afford while also reading this book and then go to a party in an enormous two story house with a lovely finished basement where the people are talking about their iphones and how their kids have way too much stuff -- it may leave you over analyzing your place in this world. 283 pages

The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King
The first in a mystery series about a young girl who meets and develops a friendship with Sherlock Holmes. I liked it and the next two are waiting for me at the library. 405 pages.

Buffy in Denver
