Footprints by andy_5322I love a great mystery.  More than almost any other genre, I will pick up a mystery without hesitation.  If you’re a mystery-o-phile, like me, or you’d like to put your toe in the mystery waters, you might consider looking for one of these books that have just come out or are new to our shelves.  What do you recommend?

Quick Picks: Stranger Than Fiction

Macro by Hachi GatsuAlthough these days I love to read a great novel, many years of my reading life were focused on nonfiction – the true stuff, things that seemed utterly unbelievable but actually happened or existed, people who made an impact, or the history of strange things.  If you are looking for a quick read, you might consider browsing the nonfiction section.  We have many nonfiction books at the library that are filled with pictures and quick blurbs; you can pick and choose to read about what you find the most interesting.  What would you want to learn about?

On My To Read Pile

Genetics Exhibit, San Jose Tech by Thomas HawkI don’t know about you, but I always seem to have an ever-growing “To Read” pile at my house.  Some things get shifted around within the pile (i.e. “this one is due next week and I have to read it ASAP” or “I’ve heard such great things about this, I just can’t wait to read it”), but, without fail, as soon as one book disappears from the pile, I’ve got something new to readily take its place.  What is on your “to read” pile?
