Canadian Reader and I are happily working our way through The High Society Lady Detective series by Sara Rosett. We are up to book four: Murder in Black Tie. Olive has been invited to a fancy house party (you know this can't end well, right?). It's fun but soon turns deadly. Secrets will come out, the wrong man will be accused (and could well hang) ... Clear your schedule when you read this series, these books are hard to put down.

I was finally able to track down a copy of a book I read some decades ago: 100 Great Science Fiction Short Short Stories, edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin Greenberg, and Joseph D. Olander. If you are of a certain age, and read science fiction 'way back then' you should enjoy this collection, these authors were good! There's time travel gone bad, a twist to a bull fight, a 'be careful what you wish for', and so much more ... my favorite, I think, it what's at the end of the universe. ;-) And an aside here: this was a used book, obviously. It came from a site called Spraininc (via Amazon). The experience was great! The book arrived two days before the ETA and the book was as described. Two thumbs up for Spraininc!
