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!

One the best thriller series that I have read is by author Catherine Coulter! !!!!!! You should try to start with her first book “The Cove” and then read your way till the most current. (10 plus books)
I cannot put these books down.
Another Great author is Eugenia Price !!!!!! She writes both fiction and non-fiction in a trilogy series.
One of the best things I enjoy is I’m learning history while enjoying the books. These series have
history – suspense – romance – makes you feel like your in the middle of everything. Love-Love-Love Eugenia Price! Start with Book One of the Georgia Trilogy “Bright Captivity” .
Oh thanks to all the posts I now a list of new authors to looking for. Have a Blessed Day!

Of course I had to read through all the comments, as did many others. I agree with one commenter’s suggestion of all of Emilie Richards’ books. – I started with the Shenandoah Album series, but am now reading some of her older books. She researches the settings thoroughly and pulls you in with her characterizations. Another author that I thoroughly enjoy is Marie Bostwick and her Cobbled Court series. She has a new book in that series coming out in April, “Ties That Bind.”

I have recently read “Year of Wonders” by Geraldine Brooks, “The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency” by Alexander McCall Smith and “The Dovekeepers” by Alice Hoffman (this one I could not put down). All great reads. I am hoping to read all “The Hunger Games” books over the Easter break.
