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.
I can’t wait to hear about what you’re reading…I’ll keep a list so email me or leave a comment. Have a great day everyone!

Hi Anne,
If you’re looking for a great series, my recommendation would be the “Outlander” series by Diana Gabaldon. I think there are seven books to date, with each book around 1000 pages long, so they are a good substantial read. I couldn’t put them down, once I started reading them. Take heed though, they are thoroughly addictive (almost as bad as my fabric addiction, lol !) I’ve reread them four times now, and I’m sure the fifth is in the near future. If you decide to venture into this series, do try to read them in order (listing can be easily obtained on internet)…makes it so much easier if one starts at the beginning of this wonderful story.

All books by Dorthea Benton Frank are marvelous! Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese is a different genre but a cant put down book. Quite a read! I am a John Jakes fan if you like Historical fiction. I listened to almost all of Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series while quilting. I need to catch up on the last two. have you seen the movie? Hope it will be on Netflix soon! looking forward to reading everyones responses to add to my book list as well!
