when will there be good news?, by kate atkinson (this is the third book in the jackson brodie series and i enjoyed it. mystery without being formulaic and with a depth of characters you don't always find. i'll be continuing with the series!)
before i forget, by tory henwood hoen (this was a book of the month club pick and i liked it more than i thought i might. it's about going home again, our relationships with our parents, and how the past impacts our present. i won't be running out to recommend it to anyone, but i'm glad i read it.)
