More mysteries.  I like all of the four Diane Mott Davidson's books I have read so far. Over the past ten years, Anthony award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Diane Mott Davidson has produced the culinary mystery series (12 books to date) featuring amateur sleuth Goldy the caterer. Each book includes original mouthwatering recipes. The Goldy books are set in Aspen Meadow, Colorado, a small mountain town west of Denver that bears a striking resemblance to Evergreen.

 Subject: Re: [Vision2020] book recommendations         I'll play here too, Vizzz peeps.  Here's a few I added to my library over
 the last year.             Freakonomics -- Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner.        An "outside the box" look at economics.  It might make you mad or make you go "hmmm", but it's interesting nonetheless.             Guns, Germs, and Steel:  The Fates of Human Societies -- Jared Diamond.      The author calls it "A short history about everyone for the last 13,000 years".  Talks about why Eurasion civilizations, for the most part, have survived while others have not, due to gaps in technology and resources rather than any intellectual, moral, or genetic superiority.  Fascinating.             Essentials of Firefighting -- International Fire Service Training Association.      I think I spent more time with this book this fall than any other.  I realize it was only one class, but it reminded me that work life is a lot different than school life.  It also reminded me that I really don't like being a student, even though I like to learn new things.             DC      =======================================================
