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!

Laura Childs writes the Tea Shop Mysteries, which are fun and include lots of info about tea and great recipes as well. Susan Wittig Albert writes several series – one is the China Bayles series, which takes place in Texas and centers around China, who owns an herb shop. Albert also writes a series called Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter. Under the name Robin Paige she writes a series of Victorian/Edwardian mysteries with her husband.
Finally, I can’t help but recommend a non-mystery: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – probably the best book I’ve ever read.

Anything Harlan Coben for a good mystery! They will suck you in and not let go. No second chance, tell no one, the woods.

hi, i just finished a wonderful book called Destiny of the Republic. It’s about James Garfield and his short term as president. Very interesting and was highly recommended by my sister who is a librarian.
