Happy Friday, everyone!
I'm looking forward to this weekend's festivities: enjoying Restaurant Week, watching a little preseason football and reading The Countess, by Rebecca Johns. "The Countess" relates the horrific story of Countess Erzsebet Bathory, whom history remembers as the Blood Countess and one of the world's most prolific female serial killers.
Bathory is the narrator of her own story, as she keeps a diary while she is literally imprisoned in her own home. The cover itself is pretty chilling in that regard.
And speaking of chilling, how about that Laura Lippman? Congratulations, Michelle, you've won "I'd Know You Anywhere." We hope you enjoy it.
So now that summer is winding down, it's time to look forward to September's offerings. In other words, all of our favorite TV shows are about to return!
So to celebrate, we're offering up the latest installment in Jeff Lindsay's Dexter series, which inspired the hit show of the same name on Showtime. "Dexter is Delicious" is an original story, not yet seen on-screen, and fans of both the books and the show already know that the plots of the two media are only loosely related -- so don't worry about any spoilers.
So tell us what you're reading, and it could be yours!
