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!

Inspector Lynley and Sergent Havers of New Scotland Yard mysteries as written by Elizabeth George. This author lives in the Pacific Northwest. “Believing the Lie” is the latest and it is full of twists!
Would not recommend this book for late night reading, however. It is hard to put down her novels. Enjoy!

Louise Penny is a Canadian author who writes mysteries with wonderful characters and plots. The stories are contemporary, largely set in Three Pines, a small village in Quebec, and her main character is Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Animals are treated well in these books, and you can rely on the author’s gentle humor.
I love every one of her books. (The eighth in the series is coming out in August of this year.) There is just so much to enjoy in every book and a great cast of recurring characters. I think it is a series you can share with your husband. I also recommend the audio books, so you can “read” when your hands are busy.
Her beautiful website is http://www.louisepenny.com/ Her books have been winning prizes and appearing on bestseller lists for years. You won’t regret time spent in Three Pines. And you’ll always come back refreshed!

I love Historical Fiction – Jean Plaidy is my ABSOLUTE Fav…start with the Anne Boleyn “The Lady In The Tower” and then the Elizabethe one.. “Queen of this Realm” and go from there. Phillipa Gregory is a good read too. And my guilty pleasure; the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charmaine Harris.
