  1. Wow! You are so organized. You are my idol 🙂
    I really do love your blog and how you have everything laid out.

  2. Well, reading this entry sure has given me some great ideas for my reserve list at the library!

    You have a number of thrillers/mysteries on your list, so let me recommend Some Kind of Angel by Melvin Harter. This is a post-9/11 thriller with threatened weapons of mass destruction and a terrorist who wants radical public policy change or there will be group assassinations on a massive scale. The killer isn’t two-dimensional, which is a nice change. And the heroes (young forensic doctor teamed with older investigative journalist) are guys you can cheer for.

    The author is kind of an interesting guy. He’s a retired doctor who spent nearly 10 years in forensic/workmen’s comp/disability and death evaluations work, so he knows about the legal-medical arena.

    Give this a try. You’ll be turning the pages.
