The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley

My friend Carrie recommended this book, and I'm glad I took the recommendation. I really enjoyed it. Fun, quirky characters, good plot development, and good resolution. These are some things I've missed in some of my recent reads.

It seems I'm on another mystery binge, but in reality it's mostly because that's what has come in at the library, and with that comes a definite due date.

I request a lot of books from the library, and on some I'll be 50th or 200th on the list, sometimes I'll be right at the top of the list. Somehow they all seem to come in at the same time and I'm scrambling to get them read in time. So I even prioritize my library stack either by due date or whether or not it can be renewed. Right now I have some books in my stack that I didn't get to the first time they came in. I don't want to have to request them again, so I'm having to read a little more than usual (like that's some punishment - Ha!)
