3. Murder Between the Covers by Elaine Viets



This is the second book in the Dead End Job series and it was delightful. I love Helen Hawthorne and this time she is working in a bookstore (dream job if you ask me). The owner of the bookstore, a real jerkface anyway, ends up dead and Helen's friend Peggy is charged with the crime. Helen sets out to prove that Peggy is innocent and learn some interesting things about her former boss, coworkers and friends along thw way.
5/5

2. Snow Blind by PJ Tracy



This is from the Monkeewrench series although it primarily involves Detectives Roseleth and Magozzi. Grace and her gang only make a couple of brief appearances throughout the book. This story starts out with a snowman making contest gone haywire and ends with a tale of murder, lies, and destruction of an entire generation.

4.5/5

1. Bake Sale Murder by Leslie Meier

This is book number 13 in the Lucy Stone series and it brings no bad luck to Leslie Meier's wonderful character. This book was great from beginning to end. We meet some new neighbor's in Tinker's Cove and they are great additions. I am reading this series out of order so this is my first lucy Stone myestery set in Tinker's Cove. I plan on starting at the beginning with Mistletoe Murder now that I have read the most recent. 5/5

#31 Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin



This is my final read for 2008 finished at 9:41pm on the 31st!

I picked up this book because I have read two others by her and really enjoyed them. In this story Ellen has moved on from a long-term relationship with Leo to marry her best friends brother Andy. All things are going well and Leo is the past until one day years later their paths cross in a New York City intersection. Ellen is faced with the decision to choose between the two and she picked wisely (at least I think so). I really enjoyed the storyline although there were some dry patches along the way. I think that this is one others can definitely relate to about the "one that got away." 4/5
