Review for Nesbo’s The Leopard

Just linked to my review for Jo Nesbo’s The Leopard on the “Current Work” tab. Check it out! For those of you who think the whole Scandinavian mystery genre is overrated, I would recommend Nesbo as a counter-argument. Enjoy!

I Can’t Quit You: Better Than Ezra

I have a certain fascination with the spoken word. If you’ve met me in person, chances are I have stored away some verbal tic to remember you by. I mentally keep track of the European verbal emphasis my best friend C picked up from her semesters overseas. I delight in the “s” sound my New Jersey husband turns into a “z” (salza, gazoline). This obsession probably has its origins in my intense crush for Cam Clarke, the voice actor who played in many of the cartoons I grew up watching in the late 80s and early 90s, and whose voice still makes me idiotically happy when I hear it.

I Can’t Quit You: Merril Bainbridge

Not so long ago, when I was younger & had fewer CDs, sometimes I went through phases where I would listen to my entire CD collection.  I would start alphabetically & go for weeks, however long it took to get to the end. I did this for a couple of reasons. First, rearranging & getting all the discs in order helped my general nervous nature. Second, the ulterior motive was to weed out the ones I rarely listened to, mainly because I only had one room to myself & space was at a premium.
