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!

You have mentioned several of my favorite authors! I try to keep up with anything by Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, and her latest series is/will be “The Inn Boonsboro”. #1 was “The Next Always”, which I will be re-reading, since #2 (“The Last Boyfriend”) is due out next month. I wish I had the self-discipline to purchase them as they come out and not read them until the LAST one is in print, but I haven’t been able to do that so far!
I also enjoy Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen books — Hannah has a cookie shop, manages to solve murder after murder, and all of her adventures so far include some really great recipes! Another author to look for is Diane Mott Davidson Goldy series; Goldy is a caterer who is a darn good detective, except that she almost gets herself killed on a regular basis! Those also include recipes, and they DO turn out well — yes, the mysteries AND the recipes!
What I can’t figure out is how I manage to gain weight by READING recipes! Have fun, everyone!

I am just finishing the House at Riverton, wonderful book, I tend to like books that will take you on travel. Anything by Ann Patchett most recent is State of Wonder. J.A. Jance she has three or four different series-J.P. Beaumont and Joanna Brady are my favorites.
