Almost finished with The Templar Legacy,  by Steve Berry. I have a new one called Libriomancer by Jim C Hines, and have The Greatest Knight, by Elizabeth Chadwick waiting as well. Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are in a constant rotation for me; my current favorite is Thief of Time.
Our summer reading program in my library tries to encourage people checking out the library books instead of using our own, so I'm going to have to browse shelves again to pick a few more from work rather than list my own. It wouldn't look right if the librarian cheated on her reading list ::)

Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan. So far, pretty amusing.

Had some customers order the 16th century German playing cards we sell because a version of the deck is a featured in this book so I figured I should check it out. "The Stockholm Octavo"

"Coolidge" by Amity Shaes.  A good read, along with a pickle and glass of water.

I don't know if I've ever matched a book with a pickle before. Dill? Sweet? spears?

I was attempting to make humor of what some consider a dour man.

Then I should think a dill would be in order.

  Nahlini Singh-Guild hunter series.   Excellent writing style.

  My current favorite author is still Naomi Novik-She is writing a delicious alternative history of the Napoleonic Wars...where both sides use dragons in combat.  Outstanding author, well researched and exceptional attention to detail. 
   It's highly unusual to have a female author write a male lead character (who's dragon is also male).   Lots of combat and political maneuverings; and her intensely detailed descriptions of famous historical figures (Nelson) and the sometimes insanely stiff hierarchy of the Royal Navy are spot on.
What doesn't kill me-had better run.
