#13 The New Deadwardians by Dan Abnett, I.N.J. Culbard (Illustrations)

I picked this up because of the title and the cover art. And in the end it didn't disappoint. The story is a murder mystery with both the victim and the police office investigating are vampires. In this book vampires are referred to as youngs, normal humans as brights and zombies as restless. The upper classes are vampires and they do walk in the daylight with the help of zinc skin creams and shade. There is class unrest and mention of the women's rights movement so society is moving along and not stagnated completely with those in power being vampires.  And not everyone you meet wants to become a vampire. By the end of the story you find out the killer, how zombies came to be and enjoyed the story along the way.

#14 Cheese & Beer by Janet Fletcher

This is a really lovely looking book that is an excellent guide of pairing beer with cheese. A great book to gift the beer fan in your life that also happens to like good food with good beer. The book breaks down each style of beer and what and why each cheese goes with that style. It isn't a dense book but the photographs are really nice and there is also a index for both the cheese and beer along with a small chart to look up complementing pairings.
