Vodka Neat

Just received my British edition of Neat Vodka by Anna Blundy in the mail and so far am loving it. It's a thriller/mystery about war correspondent Faith Zanetti, who gets re-assigned to the Moscow desk sixteen years after leaving Moscow and her Russian husband behind, and finds herself being accused of murder. The American edition was just released a couple of months ago, but I had to have the Brit edition after comparing covers:













American vs. British

I mean how is a Russian nesting doll smoking a cigarette not more appealing? Also, we apparently order our drinks differently than Europeans.

Feral Fridges

Portable Childhoods brought us feral librarians...and now Love in the Time of Fridges by Tim Scott brings us feral fridges. Yes, feral fridges.
