Jesus Potter Harry Christ by Derek Murphy: “What do Jesus and Harry Potter have in common? This book traces the religious controversy over the Harry Potter series, examines the Christian responses to J.K. Rowling’s character, and then explores the potential similarities themselves.” (February 2011)

Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution by Holly Tucker: “Taking us from the highest ranks of society to the lowest, from dissection rooms in palaces to the filth-clogged streets of Paris, this book sheds light on an era that wrestled with the same questions about morality and experimentation that haunt medical science to this day.” (March 2011)

Goblin Tales by Jim C. Hines: “A vengeful ghost trapped in a goblin’s ear … a flaming spider who must help stop a goddess from conquering a science fiction convention … a goblin nursery worker who finds herself trapped in the middle of a war. This collection features five humorous short stories that explore the fantasy realm from the perspective of the lowest of the low, the unlikeliest of unheroes: the goblins.” (March 2011)
