Dénes Szász tanith — It's almost a genre, right? Feelgood, dogood, with a happy ending. The bad people exit stage left in a hurry and are never allowed to do permanent damage because love conquers all, good intentions count, and all bitter comes with a double dose of sweet. I like the way Billie Letts basically tells the same story again and again. It's a sweet story, a nice break from more "realistic" and of course far deeper examinations of human nature. And she tells it with heart. The author shows through her characters and, since she's a darn likeable author, that's cool by me. I was listening to an NPR piece about "genre busters," the other day; authors who, like Ursula LeGuin, get pigeonholed into a genre but accomplish far more than the genre requires. Seems to me there are two ways to be a genre buster: you either offer far more substance, or you craft your story far better, than your genre requires. Billie Letts is a solid craftsman, better than your average bear. I'm not sure she's quite deft enough that I'd call her a genre buster, but at the very least she's in the top ranks of her genre. Ohh, and let's call the genre, Oprah sugar (because there's also an Oprah vinegar)!

Mohamed Elwan _ — Delafield writes about the trials and tribulations of life in the country between the wars. Witty and charming (are all books by English female authors about pastoral life witty and charming?).

Lachell Reed lachell — An intricate and lovely mystery. Solid plot with lots of twists and turns. Lord Peter Wimsley is on a mission to exonerate his brother the Duke accused of murdering the fiancee of his younger sister. The period, early 20's is very well described without being heavy and awkward. The characters we've met in the previous book, Parker, the Duchess, Peter we come to care a lot about. A little less of Bunter in this one but we do meet Lady Mary and learn a little about Lord Peter's past. I loved it. I kept rationing my chapters because I didn't want it to end and have one less book to read.

Javier Castro javiercastroj — A well-written thriller that would appeal to readers who enjoyed Larsson's Trilogy. This first in a series and is a page-turner. It's a fast read, good escape and another Scandanavian mystery thriller.

Jamie Hawke _4_ — Just couldn't get into this book. The old-fashioned language/writing style seemed to get in the way of me getting to know the characters and understanding what what going on. Which is odd because I read a lot of classics. Hmm. Maybe it's me... Got about 1/3 through and I was still mixing everyone up and dreaded reading it every day, so I'm abandoning. For now.
