Whatcha Reading: 206 Bones by Kathy Reichs

206 Bones
Just finished a great book: 206 Bones by Kathy Reichs. I'm so excited to have stumbled onto this book because it's a series! Hooray! Apparently there are 11 other books starring the intrepid forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperence Brennan. Now you guys know I love me some homicidal maniacs, but 206 Bones adds a new angle to the classic homicide detective drama. I am truly a science geek at heart and I thought all the anthropology stuff was fascinating - there may have been a visit to a scanning electron microscope in this book - be still my geeky little heart. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the series.   

What are you reading lately? I'm always up for recommendations. Go ahead, spill. Come on, I admitted my love of the embarrassing teenage vampires series.

  2. I just finished "Hit by a Farm" by Catherine Friend. It's a true story about the author and her parter, who have always lived in the city, and they up and buy 53 acres and build a farm on it. The author is constantly torn between her love of writing, and her feeling of obligation to her farm. I am **sooooooo** sad that I'm finished with it. It was one of those books, ya know? Where you love it so much you don't ever want it to end. Before that one I read "The Help" by Katherine Stockett (which I just found out is being made into a movie...yay!), and before that one was "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen. Both great books as well.
