Bossypants,, Tina Fey

The reviews said hilarious, laugh out loud funny. My daughter liked it a lot. I thought it got a little tedious, and very self-involved. I guess I learned more about Tina and Saturday Night Live than I really needed to know.

The Bid Tent Saturday Wedding, Alexander McCall Smith

Another in a series about a lady detective in Africa-but mostly she is a wise, peaceful, graceful woman, proud of her country of Botswana. Lots of detecting, but also lots of description about her country, its people, and their customs.

Mystery; an Alex Delaware story, Jonathan Kellerman

I love these for the story line, and the descriptions of locations in LA, many of which I know. And after all the books about this character, I feel I know him too.

Room; Emma Donoghue

This one is really interesting, but it took me a while to get into it. Certainly a current topic with the Jaycee Duggar case going on, and I thought they did a good job talking for the five year old child; told a lot about how he would feel, never having been in the world, adjusting to family he didn't know he had etc., and the problems both he and his mother had with media attention etc.

The Drinker, Hans Falada
