There were 4 short stories in this book:

Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson

I have nol idea how to describe this book.
So I’ll start with the plot summary: Lena lives in Chicago, where she is a grad student.  “Home” for her is Alabama, where they call her Arlene and where there are a lot of secrets: such as Lena’s mother’s mental illness and whatever happened to the boy [...]

Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost 09/27/08

Once again, I loved this book.  It’s only the 2nd of a series, the 3rd not due out until the end of the year, damn it all.
Cat has been working with the government for 4 years, since she faked Bones’ death.  Suddenly, there is a murder that appears to be committed by Bones, so Cat [...]

Return to Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux

This doesn’t have the same three women as the first book but a similar premise.  The therapist sends them to her house.  This time, they are all strangers who think they won’t like one another but do. They find Madame Zoya and all go together back to one place, then 2 go separately.
A bit trite [...]

The Outlaw Demon Wails by Kim Harrison (audio) 9/22/08

I read the first two of this series and thought I wouldn’t read the rest.  Then, I got one on CD and I’m so glad I did.  I’ve read all of them now and this was among the best.
Again, it’s a complicated plotline but the essence is that Rachel agrees to go to the Everafter [...]

Book 6 of the series.

For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison (audio) 09/07/08

The thing with these books is that there is so much going on, I can’t keep track of it later.   At least, what happened in what book.
In this one, all I can remember is that Kiston dies and so does Piscary.  Oh, yeah.  This is the one where the reader screws up alot.  She said [...]

The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian (audio) 08/16/08

Yes, I’m aware that this is out of order.  I realized that I didn’t write the last 2 audio books.  This one and the next.
This book was weird.  It’s about this woman who is attacked brutally. She then gets a job as a social worker and meets a homeless man who has some photographs that [...]

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society 09/20/08

I have no idea how to describe this book.
I’ll begin with the basics, I suppose.  Juliet is a writer.  She also is a woman who sold some books to a used book dealer and someone in a town across the English Channel bought one and sent her a note.  It was just after World War [...]

A Bone to Pick by Charlaine Harris 09/18/08

It’s kind of weird to read a series out of order. 
This is the 2nd book of the series.  Roe’s good friend Jane dies and leaves Roe all of her money.  Which is a considerable amount, just more than half a million dollars.  Along with her house, which had a skull hidden in a window seat.  [...]
