I was giving him a quick hug the other day, when I suddenly realized that my teddy qualifies for Medicare. His name is Mish, Polish for teddy bear.

| This isn’t the kind of book I normally choose, so I will say right now that I bought it and read it when I met the author. It’s hard for me to categorize, being something of a space adventure, steampunk thriller, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. ...more | |

| I enjoyed this, but not as much as I like Phillip Kerr’s Bernie Gunther novels. Although the historical background is well portrayed and characters are based on real people., they are not as convincing as Bernie. They don’t have the same depth of cha ...more | |

Just not that good I wanted to like this, especially when our old hero, Joe Leaphorn, is shot early on. But the book couldn’t hold me enough to keep reading, so I’ve no idea whether he lives or dies. That’s not good when you’re reading a detective sto ...more |
