The new Rosner Estate books are coming in

     Not too long ago I told you about a gift from the Estate of Joanna Rosner.  Well, the books are coming in!  Ms. Rosner's gift was to definitely include books by Anne McCaffrey and I see several on the list of "here now."
     If you're a fan of McCaffrey, you'll be delighted to know that we have on our shelves the following books:  All the Weyrs of Pern, Dragondrums, Dragongirl, Dragonheart, Dragonquest, Dragonsblood, Dragonsdawn, Dragonseye, A Gift of Dragons and Dragon's Fire.  And there are more to come.
     If you like to quilt, be sure to pick several of Jennifer Chiaverini's books.  She has a series about the Elm Creek Quilters.  On the shelf we have The Aloha Quilt: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel, The Christmas Quilt, Circle of Quilters, The Cross-Country Quilters, and The New Year's Quilt.  All of these books seem to fit right in with our holiday season.
     For all you coffee lovers, you'll be delighted with the books by Cleo Coyle.  Look for Decaffinated Corpse, Espresso Shot, French Pressed, Latte Trouble, Murder Most Frothy, Roast Mortem, Through the Grinder, and Holiday Grind, with more to come.
     Susan Conant has the Dog Lover's Mysteries: The Barker Street Regulars, Evil Breeding, Gone to the Dogs, and Ruffly Speaking.  And Denise Swanson has the Scrumble River Mysteries: Murder of a Barbie and Ken, Murder of a Royal Pain, Murder of a Small-Town Honey, Murder of a Sweet Old Lady, and Murder of a Wedding Belle.
     Be sure you look for the Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton (Aunt Dimity is a ghost), the Hope Street Church Mysteries by Jennifer Stanley, and the Chet and Bernie Mysteries by Spencer Quinn.
     And for all you food lovers, be sure to look for the Wine Country Mysteries by Ellen Crosby, the books by B. Haywood (Town in a Blueberry Jam and Town in a Lobster Stew), Jeffry Cohen's Some Like It Hot-Buttered, Avery Aames' The Long Quiche Goodbye, Riley Adams' Delicious and Suspicious, and Julie Hyzy's Eggsecutive Orders.
     Of course, there are many more books to list.  Instead of me listing them here, you can find them listed in our Pines System.  Look for books by Mary Clay, Emilie Richards, Mary Maffini, Jessica Conant-Park, Elizabeth Lynn Casey, Christy Evans, Jennie Bentley, Laura Childs, Richard Castle, Kate Carlisle....  The list goes on and on.
     You really need to come visit us and see all these new books on the shelves.  If the titles don't draw you in, the fascinating covers certainly will.
     And I can guarantee you this...we have so many books from the Rosner Estate gift that we can keep you reading for the entire year of 2011.  Well, maybe not all of it, but the biggest part anyhow.  Enjoy reading!  You'll never regret making the time to lounge in your favorite place and hold a good book in your hands while you get totally involved in a magical place called imagination.
