The only one of the three that could be considered a mystery is Eli Gottlieb's NOW YOU SEE HIM, about a man trying to uncover the truth behind a murder-suicide. <br />The other two books that I received underscore the fact that I wasn't always a middle-aged wife & mother (ha-ha): My husband gave me a biography of the late Joe Strummer (founding member of The Clash) and a book about the somewhat shadowy business side of hip-hop music.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-80974664562732328052010-12-27T00:44:11.340+10:302010-12-27T00:44:11.340+10:30I didn't get a book either - strange ;-) But ...I didn't get a book either - strange ;-) But I had some lovely gifts and I hope you did too, Kerrie. <br />Best wishes<br />Maxine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-69710365905075614772010-12-26T11:10:50.750+10:302010-12-26T11:10:50.750+10:30I didn't get any books either - for the same r...I didn't get any books either - for the same reason as you - people never know what I've read. I too got some crime fiction DVDs though - AN UNSUITABLE JOB FOR A WOMAN which is the series inspired by the PD James Cordelia Grey character (more than the 2 stories she wrote though) and the Danish series THE EAGLE.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-78102722999998956082010-12-26T10:45:32.753+10:302010-12-26T10:45:32.753+10:30Normally my husband avoids giving me books like th...Normally my husband avoids giving me books like the plague...but this year he came through: Three Kerry Greenwood books (Phryne Fisher series) and Detection Unlimited by Georgette Heyer. He earned major brownie points this year. In addition he gave me sets 3 and 4 of the Agatha Christie's Marple DVDs. Good husband! Still have two present opportunities ahead (tomorrow with his family and Tuesday with my mom & dad)...so maybe there'll be more.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-65067244964800590412010-12-26T10:23:38.068+10:302010-12-26T10:23:38.068+10:30I didn't get any books, but i did get a nifty ...I didn't get any books, but i did get a nifty e-book reader.<br /><br />btw, the visitor map in the sidebar is awesome!iasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199686429685990360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-23575811787260541432010-12-26T10:04:16.929+10:302010-12-26T10:04:16.929+10:30Kerrie - Oh, you are fortunate!
