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!

I agree with the recommendation of “Rebecca” by Daphne duMaurier. Great story (and I also like the movie–but the book is always better). My all time favorites are “Mrs. Mike” by Benedict and Nancy Freedman and “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas (be sure to get the unabridged version–my old leatherbound copy is 1,200 some pages–Penguin Classics has a 1276 page unabridged paperback for around $10.00 on Amazon). Can you tell I love the book–it’s been that way for over 40 years.
When your little granddaughter gets older, introduce her to the Little Tim books by Edward Ardizzone–even though Tim is a boy, girls love his adventures. That’s my one plug for children’s books.

Erica spindler will keep you on the edge of your seat…hang on. Also like Stephen White, Catherine Coulter, and Sanra Brown, all great mystery writers weaving “can’t put them down” books. I wasn’t sure about the Hunger Games, but you get caught up in the tale quickly and HAVE to read all three. Enjoy.

I love mysteries! Some of the series I love are the Aunt Dimity stories, by Nancy Atherton; the mysteries by Donna Andrews (hilariously funny); and the Daisy Dalrymple mysteries by Carola Dunn. Carola has also begun another series set in Cornwall. I have had the good fortune to meet Carola, and her mysteries are very well researched, and just delightful to read.
