I may have read Murder Must Advertise, as the blurb seems familiar. Therefore I'll follow the advice to start with Clouds of Witness and skip Whose Body?
Fortunately my libraries seem to have many with no wait. Thanks all! |

Currently reading Raza Mir's "Murder at the Mushaira" starring MIRZA GHALIB as a detective! So far, a fun mix of history, mystery and Urdu poetry (as the title suggests). I smiled at seeing my Dad's birthplace dissed, too:

This is a book about people (aliens) and relationships with a small amount of action (excitement) added. This took me a long time to finish. Apparently, I need more action (excitement) and less feelings (emotions) to keep my interest. Writing was good. Comical at times. Still won't continue the series. Rated C- [3 stars]. Next, another Prime Reading freebie, Warriorborn by Jim Butcher, a stand-alone novella in his Cinder Spires series. |

Mmm, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie was the classic.
(I've never read it.) |

I'm not a Jim Butcher fan either, having slogged through about two of his Dresden Files books. |

It is written as if Jean-Luc Picard was writing a book on leadership due to his experiences as Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation from his arrival on the ship until Star Trek: Generations. Each chapter in the book illustrates a principle of leadership using a episode of Star Trek: TNG and it is written from the point of view of Picard as Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise. I've read it a few times and it is an excellent read. You don't have to be a fan of Star Trek to enjoy the book. |

Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series I felt was better. Gruesome. Original. Well-plotted.
