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!

My alll-time favorite book series is written by John Sandford – they are absolutely wonderful! I think there’s 20 books, all with the word “Prey” in the title. I went to a used book store and bought all 20 of them!

Sue, I, too, love the Prey series by John Sandford. I was able to find quite a few of them at a book sale ($1 each!) – the rest I get at the library.
Another good series is by Michael Connelly (The Lincoln Lawyer, Brass Verdict, etc.)

These ladies are absolutely correct. There are no books being written like the Prey series by John Sandford. They are fantastic. You do need to read them in order. You will fall madly in love with Lucas Davenport. When you finish the Prey series you can read the Virgil Flowers books by John Sandford. It took me about 3 days to read each of the books because you cannot put them down.

My current book, which I am enjoying, is The Snowman by Jo Nesbo. Along the same lines is The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson. They are in the Nordic Noir genre of mysteries.
