Shakespeare's Counselor by Charlaine Harris - I'm pretty sure this is the last of the Lily Bard series, it was written in 2001. I think the author is concentrating on her Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series. Or she got tired of writing about this somewhat angry young woman. This time Lily deals with being newly married and trying to figure who is stalking her new counselor.

Girlchild by Tupelo Hassman - a very differently written book, told in short chapters or from social services reports. A young girl tries to escape from generations of poverty, abuse and a history of very young motherhood.
4 stars

The Black Box by Michael Connelly - one of my favorite authors. Harry Bosch is trying to solve a crime committed 20 years ago during the riots in LA. I like how he just picks at threads until finally one leads to finding the murderers. The murderers themselves are rather caricatures but the solving is what's fun.

An Unacceptable Death by Barbara Seranella - the last of the Munch Mancini mysteries, the author died shortly after this was written. I don't like when a character's life is just starting to go well and then something bad happens. Don't know if the author's illness was the reason for this.
2 stars - the story was okay but it irritated me because of the above.

Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evanovich - the books in this series usually make me laugh out loud because of the outlandish things that happen to the heroine. But I do find her waffling between the two men in her life irritating. Might be a little too much sex for some.
3 stars

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon - a really different book told from the viewpoint of a 15 yo autistic boy. He really goes off on tangents because that's the way his mind works and this particular boy takes refuge in math and actually explains several math problems. Really quirky so I gave it
4 stars
