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.

You should all get on Goodreads.com.. You can post the good books you are reading and you can connect with friends to see what they are reading. Also you can see what everyone on goodreads.com is reading along with their opinions and rating. It’s a great site. The only problem is my list of books to read keeps getting longer and longer :-)

What a great list! I was just thinking the other day that I’d love to find out what others are reading – and here you go! Two of my favorite authors and I am surprised they aren’t mentioned are Amy Clipston who writes about the Amish in Lancaster County. I also love Jan Karon’s Mitford series. While they aren’t mysteries, they are good, fun reads. Thanks again for this list, Anne.

My favorite mystery books are the Ladies Number One Detective Agency books by Alexander Mc Call Smith- set in Africa with a gentle rhythm and a very different view of things – nice… and
Any mystery by Robert B Parker – not so gentle…

Have to agree that The Number One Ladies Detective Agency series of books is wonderful, especially if you’re able to watch the series after reading the books. You’ll appreciate the flavor and color of Botswanna portrayed in the books. Ma Ramotswe is a lovely, character, always dealing with kindness. Alexander McCall Smith has other series and I would like to get to those soon.
Recently read The Host by Stephanie Meyer..had an interesting premise. I won’t say anything more about it because there is a movie coming out for it. Did enjoy it though.
Currently I’m reading a nonfiction book, Message From an Unknown Chinese Mother, about unwanted Chinese girl babies, how mothers, families, villages, and the government deal with the overpopulation issue and the horrible consequences some of the policies generate. I would have thought this would have been part of history, but apparently it is still happening.
