Freebie Friday for Fathers!
No, I don't think the alliteration is too much, why do you ask?
Happy Friday, everyone! And it's an especially happy Friday for Rachel! You're the lucky new winner of Robin Hemley's Do-Over!
Meanwhile, I've been reading The Collected Stories of H.P. Lovecraft. That man's prose is maze-like, and I'm having fun getting lost in it. But I've been careful not to read any of his short stories right before bed; I don't even want to think about what kind of dreams they'd inspire.
And on to this week's giveaway, and it's another two-fer: The Nine Lessons: A Novel of Love, Fatherhood and Second Chances, by Kevin Alan Milne; and The Wonderful Man, by Edward Monkton. And in order to ensure that these fatherly tomes can get to you before Father's Day (which is next Sunday, for you slackers out there) I'll be announcing the winner on Wednesday.
So you can impress Dad, or just keep the books yourself. I'll never tell.

Mine isn't a contest entry, but I do love to share what I'm reading, especially when it's something great like this Friday. I've just discovered (can you believe it?) Reed Farrell Coleman! I'm reading WALKING THE PERFECT SQUARE and I love it!

Am currently reading a cozy by Mary Jane Maffini, The Cluttered Corpse. Organizing clutter, making space for kids' boots, books, toys, bags, coats, gloves, and hats - Charlotte Adams takes care of these problems and more while solving murders and giving neat organizing tips! Printed in April 2008, it's her second book in the mystery series.

I've been reading Elinor Lipman's The Family Man which is not at all what I expected. It moves right along and doeesn't do a lot of touchy-feely stuff. I'm not usually a big fan of slice-of-life stuff but this has humor.

I'm reading "Fatal Lies" by Frank Tallis. It's a beautifully written mystery story about murder at a military academy in early 20th century Vienna. The time and place setting is fabulous. Also, a very good detecting duo: a police inspector and a psychiatrist. This is the third in the series, but it's the first one I've read.
