Summary: Harry is helping to plan her thirtieth high school reunion when several of her classmates get murdered.
Comments: Yay mystery! I'm not sure I had any hope of predicting the ending. I think that's all I have to say. Besides the following
Disclaimer: No, this book didn't take me what, three weeks to finish. Well okay, it did take two weeks, but that was only because I've been trying to read another book and it actually requires large chunks of time and not getting distracted and actually having time to read, so ...yeah.

Princess on the Brink, by Meg Cabot
Summary: Mia's boyfriend is about to leave for Japan for a year. I'm not sure it's quite accurate to say chaos ensues, but that somehow seems fitting.
Reaction: Wait, what? It's amazing how complicated the various inter-personal relationships end up in this series! The first half of the book I was wondering why I'm continuing to read the series and by the end, well that may be true, but I still want to know what happens next because it's a total cliff-hanger type situation. Not that I didn't see the gist of it coming, but still.

Misquoting Jesus, by Bart D. Ehrman
This book, as its subtitle says is about "who changed the Bible and why". I focuses on a few examples of signifiant changes as well as describing how people come to identify these and other changes and outlining the reasons behind the largest groups of changes. The first ~2/3 I found very interesting. The last part, which was mostly examples of changes and the process of finding the "real" version of the text, kinda got on my nerves. I think that was mostly because I couldn't be bothered to take the time to convince myself that the author had the right interpretation, and I wasn't willing to just accept that he did. And either that part of the book had more reiteration of previous points, or I was just more inclined to get annoyed with them. In other words, if I was writing this last night, I would probably be gushing about how informative this book is on a subject I know little about.
