Soon I will be invincible, Grossman
Thoughtful novel featuring superheroes and supervillains in a real world. I liked it a lot. Four stars.

The book stops here, Sansom
The third mobile library mystery by Sansom, but the first I have read. I liked it enough that I will be seeking out the first two. While it says right up front that it is a mystery, the actual mystery doesn’t start until a good halfway through the book. More of a character driven book with some mystery. Our Hero is Israel Armstrong, a librarian on the bookmobile (mobile library) in the north of Northern Ireland. He’s living in a rented room at a farmhouse and has now been relegated to the chicken coop since the former resident of the room is home from college for the holidays. When we meet him, he’s wearing his corduroys, patched brogues, and a t-shirt (borrowed from the returning college student) that says “Smack My Bitch Up.” I like Israel. Three stars.

And here we have an interlude of six months where my reading ability is impaired. No reviews, and I may have forgotten some books I read or partially read.
