20 short mystery stories featuring papas as the protagonists--detectives or culprits. Various authors, including Ruth Rendell (which is why I bought this).

Ahhh! It's good to be free after all these weeks on the road. Haven't had a chance to see much of Brazil yet. I've come straight from the Post Office to my new Reader's home.

I'm afraid there aren't any cats in this household. However, since there are books everywhere, I guess my new Reader isn't that bad and will take good care of me during my stay.

Now excuse me while I go chat with that cute copy of "Pretty Maids All in a Row" over there.

Nothing like a nice book of short stories on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I was particularly amused by "The Raven Takes Over". This book might sit on my shelf for a while until I find a good home for it.

Mailed yesterday to another brazilian bookcrosser in a trade.

Received today. Thanks, Spiegel!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Thanks so much for sending! Seeing it was a bookcrossing book was the main reason I requested it from BookMooch! I look forward to reading it!
