INCOMING

A quiet week.  I hope fires, drought, floods, and torrential rains have not embuggered your week.

• Peter E. Abresch, Names Games.  A James P. Dandy Elderhostel mystery.
• Russell Banks, Affliction.  Novel.
• Bill Bryson, Notes from a Small Island.  Non-fiction.  It's Bryson v. England.
• Jim Butcher, Wizard for Hire.  Omnibus volume of the first three books in The Dresden Files:  Storm Front, Fool Moon, and Grave Peril.
• Tim Dorsey, Orange Crush.  Mystery.
• Lee Goldberg, Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants.  TV tie-in.
• Stan Hugill, Shanties from the Seven Seas:  Shipboard Work-Songs and Songs Used as Work-Songs From the Great Days of Sail.  Non-fiction.  This is a revised and condensed edition.  Great history, great songs, many not PC.  Makes me wish I had a modicum of musical talent or ability.
