Dungeons and Dragons and Philosophy: Raiding the Temple of Wisdom (Popular Culture and Philosophy #70) Edited by: Jon Cogburn and Mark Silcox
Non-fiction: Pop Culture, 328 pages
Much like the rest of the books in this series, this book is about how the game of Dungeons and Dragons intersects with various ideas in philosophy. It was also written a few years ago and so deals largely with the 4th edition of the game.
The Fisherman's Tomb: The True Story of the Vatican's Secret Search by John O'Neill
Non-fiction: History, Science, Religion, 256 pages
This is the story for the hunt for St. Peter's tomb and bones below the Vatican. After reading this, I am amazed that anyone involved was allowed to do any archology (excluding the lone woman who many people refused to listen to and the American who secretly financed it all.) Also I was amazed that they didn't destroy all the priceless historic artifacts that they touched. Besides that it was an interesting story with lots of twists and turns.

Dying to Read (Cate Kinkaid Files #1) by Lorena McCourtney
Fiction: Mystery, E-book
This book's title is based on a book club meeting that never happened at the start of the book. Cate is working as a PI helper who's been giving the job of finding if a person is at an address. She doesn't find that person then, but she does find the body of a woman who might have died from an accident or murder. She of course decides to investigate the death.
