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!

I am SO late to this party … and the reading party. Just finished Hunger Games and am going to the movie tonight. Reading Catching Fire and liking it more. Otherwise … I am afraid I’m a non-fiction/behavoral science geek. Give me anything by Malcolm Gladwell (Outliers is my favorite) and I am good to go.

What a great list of authors and books. A lot of them were already on my wishlist at the library. Just wish I had more time to read them. I read on my nook and listen on my ipod as I walk, sew, or do things around the house. One author that I haven’t seen mentioned is Linda Howard. I just finished listening to Kill & Tell, CIA Spies Series #1. I download my books for the nook and the ipod from my local public library, and have read several other books by Linda Howard. All of them have been great. A new author that I have started reading with his first book out only as an ebook is Timothy McDougall. It is called Violence, seems good so far.

I am also a huge fan of Louise Penny. I have been reading mysteries for many years, and she stands out as one of the finest authors on my favorites list. I also love the Inspector Lynley series by Elizabeth George. Start at the beginning — she develops her characters with each successive book.
