PattyMacDotComma I am on tenterhooks now, waiting to see where Gregg Hurwitz takes the Nowhere Man next! Terrific, disturbingly real warfare concerns in Prodigal Son.

PattyMacDotComma Frederik Backman's thought-provoking short novella, The Deal of a Lifetime is about a meeting between a somewhat estranged father and son that happens to take place on Christmas Eve. Loved it!

PattyMacDotComma Jennifer just wanted to kill someone, make the world a better place, but Judy Fitzwater's aspiring murder mystery writer, who was Dying to Get Published, had a lot of (amusing) trouble getting her act together in real life.

PattyMacDotComma Tweet-length "fiction". I love, love, love wise sayings, witticisms, simple fun. I am too wordy - these guys are not. A Small Fiction by brothers James Mark Miller and Jefferson Miller is a sheer delight. Funny, clever, excellent!

PattyMacDotComma John Lennon by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara is a beaut little kids' book about his life and the Beatles. This is a lovely little tribute to the musical genius we lost to a gunman 40 years ago this month. 40 years!

I loved this one too. The only thing I will say is that for me they went a bit off the boil by becoming too unlikely later on in the series but the first five or so are brilliant.
