I think the bug that was trying to get me has passed by this morning though it was touch and go last night. Crackers and hot hot showers did the trick.
I will starting RETURN TO TRADD STREET by Karen White. This is 4th of 4 in series (and final one according the author) featuring psychic Realtor Melanie Middleton. Here is a description:
Facing her future as a single mother, psychic Realtor Melanie Middleton is determined to be strong and leave her past with writer Jack Trenholm behind her. But history has a tendency of catching up with Melanie, whether she likes it or not.… Melanie is only going through the motions of living since refusing Jack’s marriage proposal. She misses him desperately, but her broken heart is the least of her problems. Despite an insistence that she can raise their child alone, Melanie is completely unprepared for motherhood, and she struggles to complete renovations on her house on Tradd Street before the baby arrives. When Melanie is roused one night by the sound of a ghostly infant crying, she chooses to ignore it. She simply does not have the energy to deal with one more crisis. That is, until the remains of a newborn buried in an old christening gown are found hidden in the foundation of her house. As the hauntings on Tradd Street slowly become more violent, Melanie decides to find out what caused the baby’s untimely death, uncovering the love, loss, and betrayal that color the house’s history—and threaten her claim of ownership. But can she seek Jack’s help without risking her heart? For in revealing the secrets of the past, Melanie also awakens the malevolent presence that has tried to keep the truth hidden for decades.…

Do you have a "type" of book? You know, ingredients in a book that will get your immediate attention or that people seeing books will know that that book is something to bring to your attention? For me, historical mysteries, of course, up until the 1930s. But also cold case crimes, court intrigue, some paranormal (NO vampires or werewolves), space opera (NO aliens) are hooks for me. In nonfiction, political-right leaning I will look at right away or history. Books about books or reading will make me look. "Quirky" nonfiction like the one I just finished or slice of life.
ooh, I have Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight, a new episode where Agent Coulson (and we) learn about his death in the Avengers movie. I think he's going to find out he's been revived as "super." He's been exhibiting powers a regular human shouldn't have but it's been subtle in the show. I love Agent Coulson.
Much love,
