Books

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.

    Hi Anne, I recently retired so guess what I am doing after a lifetime of work: Quilting and reading. If I am looking for a book to read, I always think of movies that started out as books. The Help and Water for Elephants were two of the best books I read this year and were also great movies. Another favorite book for me, I am saving to re-read, East of the Mountains. I have just finished two 1000 page epics on Medieval days , Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. Loved the medieval history as well as the connected storylines. Better than TV (with the exception of Downton Abbey) anyday. Lots of comments so I am sure you have plenty of ideas now. Loved the magazine pages you showed, beautiful photography.
