The Hummingbird's Daughter

Thanks to a posting at the Bibliophile Bullpen blog, I read The Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea. What a great story! I had never heard of Teresita's existence and was happy to discover that she was a real person and that there are more accounts of her life to read. Thank you Mr. Urrea for writing about your ancestor.

I've got mysteries on the brain

Today while looking for something else (par for the course) I found another great mystery site set up by the Waterboro Public Library located in East Waterboro, Maine. Look for great mystery book reviews, cataloguing and other mystery links they've provided. A very useful reference for us mystery lovers!

The Mystery Reader

I must be full of piss and vinegar today. Two postings in one day! I just had to pass along this link about mystery books. They do a good job of listing and reviewing new (and some older) mysteries and rating them.

Wired for Books

Ohio University has a great site, Wired for Books, with author interviews and readings of authors' works. There are so many good interviews and books to choose from it will be difficult to listen to them all! This site is well worth a listen!
