I f'loved _In the Woods._ I screwed up, though - I was interested in delving into contemporary mysteries, and started with Tana French's debut. And it was SO good, so well-written, and so unusual that I'm now utterly ruined for contemporary mystery. There's nothing else like it & no one else writing like French, from what I can tell. Everything else seems cheesy and formulaic compared to _In the Woods._

Does SockDreams have a storefront now? If so, I'm going with you on that trip.

Voodoo Donuts was featured on the most recent Amazing Race finale and I was bummed there wasn't a bacon donut-eating challenge.
