Book and CD

Okay, I read Red Moon at Sharpsburg by Rosemary Wells. (the review site for 'Red Moon' is good [although the reviewer doesn't like the book too much and I understand why], her homepage needs work as most books listed are her children's works!) I do recommend this one to whomever likes to read Historical Fiction. This was a good one about the Civil War and the people who lived where the fighting took place. I do believe you would like it.
Part of review on Amazon.com:
From School Library Journal
Starred Review. Grade 7 Up—One word describes 13-year-old India Moody—perseverance. She has heard of a college in Ohio that accepts women and is determined to go there, an unthinkable dream for a girl in 1862. She is tutored by her neighbor, Emory Trimble, an eccentric scientist who teaches her about biology and chemistry, and with whom she later forms a romantic relationship.

I also listened to a book on CD while driving around town... The Tin Collectors by Stephen Cannell, if you like 'Shane Scully' then this is for you. I ran across this while looking for a different book. And it is for adult reading.

Amazon.com Review
Stephen J. Cannell has written and produced enough TV cop shows to give him plenty of inside know-how about the LAPD, and recent events in OJ-land make the plot of The Tin Collectors--conspiracy, corruption, and murder by the boys in blue--more than credible. The tin collectors are the internal affairs cops, and they're out to make police sergeant Shane Scully the fall guy after he kills his former partner, Ray Molnar, in the midst of a domestic dispute that was just a click away from ending in the murder of Ray's wife. Not so coincidentally, she was once Shane's lover, a fact the tin collectors seize upon as evidence that Scully wanted the highly regarded Molar dead. As the wrongfully accused but redoubtable cop fights to clear his name, he discovers Ray's secret life: his other wife, his luxurious Lake Arrowhead home, and the ladder of corruption that reaches all the way to the top in the City of Angels. It should come as no surprise that this has TV-treatment written all over it. Read it now before it comes to a small screen near you, as it surely will. And applaud Cannell's growing ability to flesh out his characters with enough subtext and complexity to make a prime-time series starring Shane a strong possibility. --Jane Adams --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
