Finished “Dead Even”

Dead Even by Brad MeltzerI finished another book yesterday afternoon late, the second Brad Meltzer book I have read, called “Dead Even”. I had checked this one out of the library after reading a Meltzer that we own, called “The First Counsel”. Both are good legal thrillers, along the lines of a good Grisham book. I think I will eventually check out another Meltzer book from the library, called “The Tenth Justice”. All of his books seem to be pretty good. I will work on a review and put it up on Hambones soon. 🙂

For the record, this is book #10 on the year, with a total of 3,528 pages read. I finished reading Dead Even while we were at the driving range. We ran and picked up some fast food for supper, then Tim graciously agreed to go to the library with me to return the three books I had finished, and get 3 more. He also browsed through the golf section and got himself a book called “The Perfect Swing”. I have added the 3 new books to my sidebar that I picked up. They are “Remember” by Karen Kingsbury (2nd in a series of 5 books called the “Redemption” series), “One Tuesday Morning” by Karen Kingsbury (a book about 9/11) and a book that they had just put out, and I was the first one to check out! This book is on the NY Times Bestseller list and is a historical fiction book about a woman in 1500’s Italy. Not sure I will like the genre, but it’s a best seller and my library just got their copy in this week, so when I saw it on the “New Arrivals” shelf, I grabbed it. The lady checking me out had trouble getting it to scan, and then I told her where it was and she goes “Oh, that one is brand new, I’ll have to set it up in the system for circulation”. So, I think I’m the first one to read it. Cool, for a library nerd like me 😀 Anyway, it’s called “In the Company of the Courtesan” by Sarah Dunant, and I’m going to give it a shot. If I like it, I like it and if I don’t, nothing lost, I’ll just return it to the library.

As always, my philosophy remains. Every time I go to the library I think the same thing — “So many books, so little time”!!!
