Book Review: Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner

In the book Good in Bed, Cannie Shapiro has had a pretty good life, in spite of the fact that her mother has come out of the closet and her father is now where to be found in her life. She has wonderful friends, including Nifkin, her faithful rat terrier. She works for The Philadelphia Examiner.

One momentous day she see "Loving a Larger Woman" in a woman's magazine, written by her ex-boyfriend. Being larger, Cannie comes down to earth, but deals with the year in front of her. She travels round trip to Hollywood and begins a new life beginning to see who she is right now and who she wants to be.

I enjoyed this book, the serious and the fun parts. Weiner does such a good job writing realistic characters. In this case dealing with a size 12 woman who is viewed as large. I like how she was turned around to see what a valuable person she is.

This is a well-written book and I recommend it.

Book Review: A Hiss Before Dying

A Hiss Before Dying is a cozy mystery in the Mrs. Murphy series.

During the Autumn, while the world is going about its normal routines of cleaning and preparing for winter, the annual rabbit hunt takes place. During this event the beagles and the hunters come up with a different find of find....a dead body.

Previously a missing truck driver's corpse was found, although it could not be identified. Where these too connected? Harry Haristeen finds some clues which go back to the area right after the Revolutionary War.

Through the help of the cats, Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker, the mystery begins to unravel.

I enjoy reading about the likeable characters and the interesting parts about the history involved. I did not want to put this book down once I started.
