Ah…..the joys of summer reading!

It’s a good thing that I love to read because I have added more books to my list…On May 1, the Mystery Writers of America announced their 2008 Edgar Allan Poe Award Winners. Wow! These books look great and I can’t wait to read them!

 Best Novel

 Best Paperback Original

Best Fact Crime

Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Vincent Bugliosi

 

Best Critical/Biographical

I also finished reading The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen and I loved it! It was just as magical, tender yet bittersweet as her first book. Look for my review in our Reading Room Database.

 Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.

Happy Reading!
