The Cereal Murders (Goldy culinary mysteries, book 3) Diane Mott Davidson

I have to admit, this series is what I consider fluff; filler, if you will. This is what I go back to between meatier novels. We're up to The Cereal Murders (Goldy Culinary Mysteries, Book 3).

Although I do like Goldy better than other mystery chefs I've run across, she's probably not someone I would be friends with in the really real world. She's a bit stuffier than I am, and maybe unbelievably PC. As a character, she does move forward a bit in this book, but I'd really love to see her let her hair down and have some fun.

Pride and Prejudice...and Zombies?

This was a super fun read! I've never read the original classic, because I just wasn't sure I could deal with a Gothic romance. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Deluxe Edition (Quirk Classics) combines that classic with the wonderful world of flesh eating undead in a literary mash-up that puts a fresh spin on Austen's characters and language. Lizzy kicks butt and takes names, thanks to her ninja like skills keept honed with daily training.
