First Book of the Year


Happy New Years. I spent my first day of 2007 reading my first book of 2007. My favorite mystery writer, Tony Hillerman has released a new Navajo mystery. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn chases the Shape Shifter in "The Shape Shifters." For you Hillerman fans, tell me, does the famous Leaphorn live in Window Rock or Shiprock? I am confused.

I have finished my list of books read in 2006. There were 45 of them. If you would like a copy of the list, I would be glad to send it to you. Reply to this blog and leave me an email address.

Leaphorn lives in Window Rock and Chee lives in Shiprock.

Yes, Leaphorn has always lived in Window Rock. But in this book, Hillerman has him returning home to both Window Rock and Shiprock, although never on the same page.

Near the end of the book, Hillerman locates Crownpoint north of Farmington rather than south of it.
