Somewhere in the switch I missed that [...]

Today is the first day of the Something Wicked tour!
Becky at Becky’s Book Reviews starts off the tour discussing Macbeth. One of the reasons I love this tour is that I learn stuff from all the brilliant bloggers.
My favorite children’s librarian, Noel, didn’t care for the sex in the book. I wasn’t bothered, but I [...]

I’m really looking forward to seeing what you all have to say about this book. I [...]

I’ve sent out the invitations for the Alan Gratz tour, which will run October 27-29.
The book is Something Wicked which is the second Hoatio Wilkes mystery. The first being Something Rotten.
These are mysteries, well written, with a an interesting protagonist. Alan is a funny man and a great writer.
