Bossypants. Tina Fey
by

Has to be one of my favorite reads of 2011. I always suspected Tina Fey was really smart, and here's proof. These essays exemplify not only her humor, but also her brain power. There's a lot of wisdom in these pages. One of my favorites is the prayer for her daughter--both witty and wise.

My favorite scene is the one in which Henry, the youthful Bible salesman, has been asked to bury a farmwife's beloved cat. The cat has a snake stuck in its mouth, and its head is swollen to the size of a melon. Henry is trying to keep the woman from seeing the grusome corpse.

Great mystery! I love a mystery that keeps me guessing and surprises me at the end. Amy, the writing teacher, would be a fun teacher to have, just as long as my classmates didn't start dying.

In 1917, 19-year-old Martha leaves home looking for work breaking horses. Gloss does a wonderful job presenting the people of Elway County, Oregon, and the joys and hardships of ranch life.
