I'm totally out of new recommendations, myself - although you might give a thought to At Play in the Fields of the Lord, if you're in the mood for something heavy. It really is an excellent, but dark, novel.

While re-reading the two Cordelia Gray novels has been pleasant enough, they certainly aren't of a caliber that would inspire me to say, "You've GOT to read this!" Yes, I do hope I can get my book back, too. An astonishing lapse of consciousness, there!

I'm hoping I'll enjoy the Evan Evans books. I'm assuming they'll be pleasantly amusing British cozy types - which is fine, but not really my favorite genre. Just something to hold me over until one of my preferred Scandinavian books finally comes in.
