I had a library hold to pick up this week but as you can see from my book bag which could barely hold all of my books, I walked out with a few more books than I intended.
Here are my library loans:
Night Life by David C. Taylor. Life for NYPD detective Michael Cassidy is black and Red all over in this thriller set during the McCarthy era of the 1950s. This is the July read for my mystery book group.
The Dove’s Necklace by Raja Alim. When a dead woman is discovered in Abu Al Roos, one of Mecca’s many alleys, no one will claim the body because they are ashamed by her nakedness. As we follow Detective Nassir’s investigation of the case, the secret life of the holy city of Mecca is revealed.
Maestra by L.S. Hilton. By day, Judith Rashleigh is a put-upon assistant at a prestigious London art house. By night, she’s a hostess at one of the capital’s notorious champagne bars.
Murder in Morningside Heights by Victoria Thompson. Another entry in the Gaslight mystery series. This time Frank Malloy and Sarah are now married and adjusting to their new life while they investigate a murder of course.
Content, Inc. by Joe Pulizzi. Strategies for developing valuable content and building an audience. I figure that as I have an online shop this might be useful information.
Have you read any of these? Let me know what you think.
So what are you up to this weekend? I get to see a dear friend who is in town so that should be a lot of fun. Other than that, I’m hoping to do a bit of organizing and reading. Have a great weekend!
I love your book bag! I’m very curious of Maestra and I almost picked it up while visiting a bookstore the other day. Looking forward to your thoughts on it as well as the other books you’ve borrowed. 🙂
I love the bag, too! A great book bag lifts the spirits! I’m interested in Night Life–the McCarthy era always sends a chill down my spine.
I have not read any of them, but I hope you enjoy!
What an awesome bag! And a bunch of good books as well. I’m afraid I haven’t read any of them. I hope you have a good time with your friend! My mom’s driving into town on Monday. We’re looking forward to her visit.
Melody – I got this one on my trip recently and I love it. It was such a find too because I saw several people carrying one just like it and when I saw at the bookstore I knew I had to buy it!
Jenclair – It does, doesn’t it? I have a nice little collection of book bags going on. I did start the David C. Taylor book but not too far into it yet.
Kailana – I’ve only started one and at the rate I’m going I’ll have to renew most! Ack.
Literary Feline – Thank you! I like it too 🙂 Hope you and Mouse have a wonderful time with your mom!
