Share your “reads” with me

Two of my favorite past-times:  Looking through magazines or reading a good book.  It’s what I do every evening to unwind from the day.  I’m getting desperate for more books to read so if you’ve read a good book share it!  Mysteries are my favorite but I’m open to any good book.  I love a series so I can read on when I’m done with one book.   I’m reading Lisa Gardener’s book called Catch Me.  I’ve read almost all of James Paterson and the whole Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanovich.   I know there must be book lovers out there reading away and enjoy books I haven’t read.  Help! (Yes, I read The Help LOL.)

One of my favorite magazines, Jeanne d’ Arc Living  just arrived at our door!  It’s such an expensive magazine that I normally only order special issues, but this month Jeanne d’ Arc surprised us all and reduced the cost of the magazine in the US to $13.95 per issue.  This is about half of what it’s sold for in the past so I’ve added a few copies to our website .  Jeanne d’ Arc is published in Norway and it’s a treat to find it in the US.  Enjoy the photos (taken by the Jeanne d’Arc photographer…not me) as a sampling of what’s inside this beautiful magazine.

    Into the Wilderness series by Sara Donati. One of my all-time favorite series. Historical based on US around the time of the war of 1812 as well as I remember. Concerns a town with a settler population and an Indian settlement close by. Their lives intertwine and they are very well written. I think there are 5 books in all. I think you might enjoy them.

    I read all the comments and made note of so many authors I haven’t read yet.
    I can’t believe no one mentioned my favorite…Mary Higgens Clark. She is my favorite mystery writter.
    Her books aren’t a series, but she writes a new one every year at this time and I am always waiting anxiously.
    Not mysteries, but I love Debbie Mc Comber for just good feel good reading.

    Oh–It sounds like you like what I like! I like the mysteries too but I am always in search for a good read and I gravitate toward fiction. A couple to add to your list: The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig (series); Books by Sandra Dallas; School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister; The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows; Bloodroot by Amy Greene (really good as a book on CD); Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford; Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson
