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!

You may already have had these but I suggest The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (now a movie), The Girl who Played With Fire and The girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. I have just finished the trilogy by Stieg Larsson and I couldn’t put them down. I found the first one hard going in parts but they are full of twists and I throughly enjoyed them.
I also loved the Outlander series and am hanging out for the next book which I don’t think is out till next year.

May I offer -“A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness. This is the first book of a trilogy. The second book is due out this summer.
It’s a paranormal love story with all the usual suspects – witches, vampires, demons, etc. There is mystery, intrigue, education, and humor throughout the story. It’s written in a very intelligent manner.
The author is a history professor at University of Southern California. She brings her knowledge of history, magic, wines, etc. into her story. It’s a wonderful read and one that I could not put down until the very last page. Then I got the audio book and listened to the story all over. I can hardly wait until July when the next book come out.
I also agree with the suggestions for “Rebecca” and the Louise Penny series.
