As it’s Thanksgiving the public library is going to be closed for two days, so what do I do today? Well, make a run to the library to stock up on books of course. I have plenty of reading material but I don’t need to explain book madness right?

Here’s what I got:

• The Dragon Man by Garry Disher. This is a police procedural set in Australia. I do love crime/mysteries set outside of the U.S.
• Forests of the Night by David Stuart Davies. Another mystery, this one is a whodunit set in WWII England.
• The Museum of Dr. Moses by Joyce Carole Oates. Short stories of mystery and suspense. I haven’t read any Oates in a long time.

Hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has a great one. I plan to read a lot and maybe dash out for some coffee. No big to-do at Casa Bookgirl but that’s kind of nice too you know.

I’m sorry for the short post tonight but I just got back home from a very fun evening with my best friend Christine. We had a bit of an early birthday celebration for her and indulged in some comforting Rooibos Vanilla tea at this great little place. I’m more of a coffee girl but I think I need to drink more tea. I really feel very relaxed this evening.

So I’ll leave you instead with The Book Design Review where you can vote for your favorite book covers of the year. I am leaning towards The Chess Machine and Words Without Borders.

I’m off to continue with Don’t Look At Me Like That. A great book so far. It sort of reminds me of some books I’ve read by Gail Godwin, Barbara Pym and Anita Brookner.
