Books I Love

It’s February 14, a day necessitating the mass use of the word ‘love’. So, in that vein, here are the books that I simply love. (hey, I’m a re-read-aholic after all)

• Leave it to Psmith by PG Wodehouse

  Hilarious fiction by the master of prose who brought us Jeeves & Wooster. The flower pot scene makes me crack up.

• Foreigner by Robert J. Sawyer

  An alien world of intelligent dinosaurs. Featuring the best space elevator EVER. Not to mention the most well-written alien culture I’ve ever encountered in fiction.

• The Queen Jade by Yxta Maya Murray

  Adventure, Mayan archeology, a hurricane, family drama, political upheavel, mystery, romance. It has it all.

• The Harper Hall Trilogy by Anne McCaffrey

  Set in McCaffrey’s Pern world, and is about the survival and growth of a girl who loves music and her firelizard firends.

• All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot

  A great storyteller regales with humorous tales of his adventures as a veterinarian in Yorkshire. You might have seen the BBC TV series based on the books.

• The Garret Files/Garret PI series by Glen Cook

  Fantasy noir & my absolute FAVORITE cross-genre series. I reviewed Bitter Gold Hearts some time ago.

• Naked Once More by Elizabeth Peters

  Witty and fun mystery novel that’s also a bit of a poke at the publishing world. VERY enjoyable read.

• Yotsuba &! series by Kiyohiko Azuma

  LOVE this sweet day-in-the-life manga about a strange little girl, her single ‘dad’ and their adventures with their friends and neighbors.
