1. The Stand by Stephen King. The best of the best. I've read it several times and will read it several more times. It's just that good. Otter agrees with me, by the way.
2. CSI: Secret Identity. Steven Grant, Gabriel Rodrigues and Steven Perkins. CSI in manga form. Otter checked it out at the library, then she told me I had to read it. It was good.
3. Stalking the Plumed Serpent & Other Adventures in Herpetology by D. Bruce Means. Waste of time, I didn't get very far before I gave up. Not well-written and for an expert, he doesn't seem to know much!
4. Water Dogs by Lewis Robinson. OK, a quick read but not the best.
5. The Roots of Desire, the Myth, Meaning and () Power of Red Hair by Marion Roach. Can we say total complete waste of time? Most of what was in this book is stuff that I have seen many times over, a lot of it is on the internet. The author is a redhead, but she didn't do any research. At all. Filled with extremely incorrect information.
6. Spiders, the Ultimate Predators. Stephen Dalton. Interesting, lots of cool pictures. We like spiders.
7. Lone Wolf, the Search for Eric Rudolph. by Mary Anne Vallers. Rudolph is the person who bombed the Atlanta olympics and also several murder factories (abortion providers). I don't agree with his tactics, by the way. But the book was interesting. The author was pretty obviously pro-death (choice) and most likely feminist. But the book was well written and she obviously spent a lot of time researching it.
8. Wedding Belles by Haywood Smith. The was actually part 3 in a series and the first I've read by this author. It was funny.
9. The Red Hat Club by Haywood Smith, part one.
10. The Red Hat Club Rides Again by Haywood Smith. Part three. I hope that she writes more in this series, it was funny.
Frasier is not happy. He's confused. Seems he discovered the hamster cage this morning. We've been moving them to the office the last several nights, since the wheel that was attached to the cage could probably be heard all the way in Texas. We move it back to Otter's room in the mornings. I was checking my email this morning before the cage got moved back, Frasier was in his usual spot - trying to get all my attention - when he caught sight of movement inside the cage. He sat and stared at the cage for about 10 minutes. Then he scooted closer. The cage was sitting up on something, so he couldn't reach it. But then he started getting into the position that prefaces standing on his back legs. Which is when I grabbed him by the collar and then took the cage back to Otter's room. Where it sits on top of her chest of drawers and is much higher up. Frasier has very seldom gone into Otter's room for more than a few minutes. But when we got home this afternoon, we cleaned the cage and also attached a new set of climbing tubes which have an external wheel and it's very quiet. The dogs are shut out of Otter's room while we clean the cage. Frasier waited patiently, then he immediately went to sit in front of the chest of drawers and stare at the cage. At one point, Otter said he was about to stand up on his back feet so she stopped him and chased him out of her room. He doesn't seem to understand why he can't have the scooby snacks that he can clearly see and smell. Life's not fair! Poor dog is so spoiled...
Toadles arrives the day after tomorrow! We can hardly wait. Maggie and Frasier are eager to meet him. Frasier probably will ask Toadles to take the snacks out of the cage for him, and Maggie will probably spend her time trying to monopolize his attention and then sneak into bed with him so she can steal the covers. She does that.

My suggestion for your reading- 8 in a Box. I can't remember the author, but it was a mystery that I could not put down. Child3 read it and enjoyed it also. This book gave you the clues to the mystery. You have to read between the lines and go back over some parts but you can solve the mystery. I highly recommend it. Froggy
