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 love the Joe Pickett series by C. J. Box. Be sure to start with book #1 and read in order. They are listed on his website.

I too am a mystery addict. I enjoyed all of the Dana Stabanow books, she has 2 series which in the latest book join together. They are good mysteries with the addition of life lived in a totally different enviornment than I live in. Her stories take place in Alaska. People and state troopers fly everywhere. They also understand what snow is really like. I also enjoyed the Tony Hillermen series for the same reason, Native americans in New Mexico live a totally different life than I do in NJ, but murder is murder.

One of the best discussions we’ve had in our book club (men and women) was Possession by A.S.Byatt. It switches back and forth between Victorian era and present day, with characters loosely based on Robert Browning and Christina Rossetti, and two present day academics searching for information about them. It’s a romance, as well as a mystery, with unexpected twists and turns. It was published in 1990 , so maybe it’s old news to you, but if you haven’t read it, I believe it will be worth your time. Our group didn’t discover it until a few years ago.
