Books from Maple Street!

Well, you know I can't just go into a bookstore like Maple Street and not buy stuff. From left to right:

New Orleans City Park by Catherine Campanella - Cathy's third book for Arcadia. I was always more a "city park kid" than an "audubon park kid," having gone to school in Gentilly.

Render Unto Rome by Jason Berry - Berry was one of the best writers covering the clergy sex abuse scandals that rocked the Catholic church. His latest details some of the financial scandals plaguing Rome.

The Complaints by Ian Rankin. @beathhigh's lastest novel. It's a cop story, but not an "Inspector Rebus" tale. In Lothian and Borders police, "The Complaints" are the Internal Affairs cops. I was going to buy this one for the Nook. I downloaded the sample there, but when I saw it on the shelf last night, I couldn't resist. As much as I enjoy reading on my tablet, there are those times on planes when they tell you to turn off the electronics, or when the batteries go kaput on long flights.
