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 of the ladies from Blackbird Designs mentioned a book called Blackout by Connie Willis. It’s about time-travelling historians and it is fabulous. It is a 2 book set though – the second is All Clear.. Another great series is the Amelia Peabody series – a victorian lady who is an archaeologist in Egypt and all her mysterious escapades. But the highlight will be the entertaining narration of the main character and the witty dialogue between characters.

I’m so glad you described Amelia Peabody. I was reading that series many years ago and lost track of the author’s name and the main character’s so I could track these books down. I had forgotten all about her until this post. Thank you so much for posting this and thank you so much Anne for asking your blog-reading girlfriends for their recommendations.

P.S. My formal name is spelled just like yours, Kathryn. I used it in business until I retired.

I love the J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) series of books starting with Naked in Death. They are a series of books about 10 following a Detective called Eve Dallas and are set in year 2050. They are fast moving and interesting that they are set in near future.

Dear Ann,
I can recommand the following book. I just finished it and it was amazing.
The title is: The tenderness of wolves
Written by Stef Penney.
This is her debut novel, and she also wrote: The Invisable Ones.
You will see what I mean, when I say : I could not stopreading.
Good luck.
