It’s a tad bit late for this, but I will post it nonetheless.
Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander
Art Auction Mystery by Anna Nilsen
Cloud of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers

Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris
The Unusual Suspects by Michael Buckley

Favorite book from this month: Er, probably Do Hard Things. That was a good book. I would definitely recommend it.
Best new discovery: P.G. Wodehouse. How can you resist a main character that says stuff like “Pip-pip” and “Toodle-oo”? (Leastwise I think that’s what he said…I don’t have the book with me now.)
