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!

We wore Forgotten Garden out at the library, I’ll have to order another, Carol O’Connell is good. M.C. Beaton’s Hamish Macbeth series is great.

I’m about halfway through Forgotten Garden — one of the best books I’ve read in a long time — and I read a lot!

Wow!! What a great list of books, I wrote some down that I haven’t read yet. One I did not see mentioned
is the Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. It is a mystery within a mystery and I like you would love it. I also like
anything from David Baldacci , Eugenia Price, Steve Berry and James Rollins.
Happy reading. Bobbie

Oh my, what wonderful suggestions! I’m looking forward to checking all of these out. I also love the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. Just plain fun! Another author I’m surprised hasn’t been mentioned is Marcia Muller. Her Sharon McCone series is mostly set in San Francisco. They’re very suspenseful, but great. A couple more great books, though not series: People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, The Georgrapher’s Library by Jon Fasman. One that’s not a mystery, but just a fun read is The Tall Pine Polka by Lorna Landvik. And one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read is One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus — it’s about what might have happened if President Grant had agreed to the Indian’s request for white women to marry the Indians.
