I am almost finished with The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda. If you read her first novel, All the Missing Girls, you will love this one. It has captured my attention and I haven't been able to put it down. Miranda does an excellent job slowly revealing bits of information that allow the reader to piece together the story. Fans of psychological thrillers won't want to miss this one.

I'm thoroughly enjoying How To Be a Tudor: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Tudor Life and its insights into the day-to-day life of a bygone era. Myths are dispelled, recreations are experimented with, and history abounds. Fun and informative!

Currently I'm fascinated by Nabokov's Favorite Word Is Mauve: What the Numbers Reveal About the Classics, Bestsellers, and Our Own Writing -- perfect for book or number geeks!

I am in the middle of reading Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America. The book provides significant information about how the LAPD tries to solve crimes while digging into one case in depth. I would recommend this book to true crime fans as well as those wanting to learn about the inner workings of homicide units and particulars about how crimes are looked into.
