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!

for something different, try the Irish Country Doctor series by Patrick Taylor. the series is now 6 books long, beginning with “An Irish Country Doctor”.
Fresh out of medical school Barry Laverty, (24, single, and no responsibilities) can barely find the small Irish village of Ballybucklebo on a map, and is none too sure upon meeting the Sr. doctor of his new practice whether he should stay or go. The book tells of the practice, the people, the animals, and everything that keeps Barry hopping thru his first months as a very green beginning country doctor in Northern Ireland. Definitely lively, and a really humorous page turner.
As an added bonus there are wonderful Ulster recipes in the back of each book.

I second the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear (the eighth came out this week) and Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley mentioned. I also love books by Kate Morton. They are usually set in England and there is mystery as well as wonderful settings.

Since I love british crimes (don’t know why but crime and britain work so well together) I read almost all of Deborah Crombie, Peter Robinson and Charles Todd. There’re definitly more, much more I read in the past years, but these three just pop up in my mind. Oh, and of course Rita MAe Brown for the love of cats;-)
