I'm headed to Missouri today to spend the weekend with my mother to celebrate Mother's Day and her birthday (which was yesterday).
Despite the huge TBR stack under my bed, I have very few un-"read" books on CD, so I hit the library for some traveling books. Here's what I'll be listening to about the time you're reading this post and on the return drive:
Catering to Nobody by Diane Mott Davidson -- According to the Random House website, This is Diane's first book in her catering mystery series: "Catering a wake is not Goldy’s idea of fun. Yet the Colorado caterer throws herself into preparing a savory feast including Poached Salmon and Strawberry Shortcake Buffet designed to soothe forty mourners. And her culinary efforts seem to be exactly what the doctor ordered...until her ex-father-in-law gynecologist Fritz Korman is struck down and Goldy is accused of adding poison to the menu. Now, with the Department of Health impounding her leftovers, her ex-husband proclaiming her guilt, and her business about to be shut down, Goldy knows she can’t wait for the police to serve up the answers. She’ll soon uncover more than one family skeleton and a veritable stew of unpalatable secrets–the kind that could make Goldy the main course in an unsavory killer’s next murder!"

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks -- According to the author's website, "inspired by the true story of a mysterious codex known as the Sarajevo Haggadah, People of the Book is a sweeping adventure through five centuries of history. From its creation in Muslim-ruled, medieval Spain, the illuminated manuscript makes a series of perilous journeys: through Inquisition-era Venice, fin-de-siecle Vienna, and the Nazi sacking of Sarajevo."
I'll let you know how it goes!
