I really like Jennifer Garner, but WTF is this that she has been cast as the new Miss Marple. ( http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=30544 ) I'm sorry, but as a TRUE Agatha Christie lover (both literary & film) this is an awful decision on someone's part. 1) she's TOO YOUNG & 2) she's AMERICAN! Why not Helen Mirrin or Judi Dench.
LORD!

The Witch's Daughter
Just finished The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston. I really did enjoy it, but it took a while for me to get into it. Then the ending kind of disappointed, but overall I gave it a 3/5 on Shelfari. As far as an overall sense of the book I found the writing well done and the story was easy to get wrapped up in after the "story in the story" began. I'll defiantly read more by this author.

Discovering Aunt Dimity!
I'm really not sure how I've managed to overlook Nancy Atherton's Aunt Dimity series for the last 15 years, but I have! However, I'm so excited to have discovered it. What fun, lighthearted mysteries! I've just finished Aunt Dimity's Death and am excited to get the next book in the series tomorrow, when I'm a Saturday Librarian.
In the mean time.... I'll be reading Murder Past Due by Miranda James and finishing up Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk the newest book from the AMAZING David Sedaris. There is also a new R.A. Salvatore I've got checked out - but I'll save that one for Sunday.
Cheers for a peaceful weekend! Right now, my prayers are going out to everyone in Japan. Such sad news to wake up to today.

Gawd I'm a bad blogger.....
I know I'm a horrid blogger.... That said - if you LOVE mysteries make sure you pick up 2 fantastic new series reads: Death of a Chimney Sweep by M.C. Beaton and Bless the Bride by Rhys Bowen. They are both well written and take you away from the daily grind.
Next up? Don't know yet. I've been taking an audio book journey through the Harry Potter series and I can't say enough good things about Jim Dale and his oratory skills. :)
Right now I'm stuck in Library Land and just hoping to get through the day.
Peace.
BUT - On an amazing note... George R.R. Martin's much anticipated (for 6 years) Dance with Dragons is set to publish in July 2o11. YEAH!!!
