I'm in between several books right now:
"A Perfect Stranger" by Jenna Ryan (Harlequin book)....meh

"The Bradford Map" by William Loring Andrew, a neat little book I came across when researching a map (the Bradford Map) online. It's about the first map published in New York (1729) and has a lot of neat information about the beginnings of New York and the formation of the town's layout. It's in public domain, and I recommend reading the PDF on your computer (it's short and has some great illustrations).

Also still working on "King Solomon's Mines" by H. Rider Haggard, which I'm heartily enjoying, and also have been reading an ARC I won on goodreads called "The Wave" by Susan Casey. It's interesting, but I'm having a hard time getting through it, since a majority of it is about surfing (I'm more interested in the rogues that sink ships and such).
