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!

Hi Anne, I am currently reading The Bird Sisters by Rebecca Rasmussen. I fill in my reading time with quilt history books and i never tire of reading just plain old quilt books be my favorite designers, especially civil war era. Good idea for a blog topic!

Thanks for asking this question…I’m getting good ideas, too, from the comments! One of my most favorite mystery series ever is the Southern Sisters mysteries by Anne George. They are hilarious to read! Unfortunately there were only 8 written before the author passed away. Would love to meet her in heaven someday. Which reminds me…Fannie Flagg has written some fantastic books, including “Can’t Wait to Get To Heaven.” A lot of the characters made appearances in her earlier books, so I’d recommend reading those, too – maybe first, if you can. They move so fast and add so much to life – you won’t be sorry! I hope she has it right, describing heaven her way! (Her most famous is Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Cafe.”)
