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!

Try reading the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. They count as both british mysteries and historical.

I’m also reading the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear–set in England in the decade after WW!. Very good!

I very much enjoy Lynn Austin’s books – historical fiction. She’s very witty! My favorites were ‘Wonderland Creek’ and ‘A Proper Pursuit.’ She also has some series which are great.
My 13 year old daughter loved ‘The Homelanders’ series by Andrew Klavan. Very suspenseful and appropriate for her age group. I loved them, too!
I wrote down several of the suggested authors and books – can’t wait to get to the library!
