#58 The Stupidest Angel

The Stupidest Angel: A Heatwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Chistopher Moore. I heartily recommend this book as an alternative to the regular pablum that surrounds the holidays. My only regret is that I bought it at a church sale so Mr Moore doesn't get any royalties. Maybe I should send him a check...

#57 I Am Not Myself These Days

I Am Not Myself These Days: A Memoir by Josh Kilmer-Purcell. I wasn't sure I'd be able to read this book when I started - it seemed like it might be a bit too outside of my experiences for me to enjoy. But the writing is sharp and the emotions are all too human for me to not find something of myself in it. I hope the author has found someone who has helped him find himself.

#56 Easter Island

Easter Island by Jennifer Vanderbes. I really enjoyed this one, even though I wanted things to happen, to come together, that never did. I'm still not sure I'm happy about it but in the end it doesn't matter. It's a good story about several women finding themselves on this speck of land in the middle of the ocean. It really makes me want to go there for myself.

#55 Death Comes As Epiphany

Death Comes As Epiphany: A Catherine LeVendeur Mystery by Sharan Newman. I picked up the 3rd in the series at a library sale and the husband was kind enough to checkout the 1st for me. It started slowly but I finally got into it and really enjoyed it. I'll be getting the 2nd one as soon as I can so I can read the 3rd one.

#54 Birds Of A Feather

Birds of a Feather (Maisie Dobbs Mysteries) by Jacqueline Winspear. The second in what turns out to be a longish series. I have to say I liked the 2nd one better than the first - more character development and less revelations about the past.
