Great writer! Did you know he also writes children's books?? Scandinavian crime writers are really getting their due thanks to Larssen. Try Johan Theorin.

I'm reading Ann B Ross's series about Miss Julia - fun light reading. I still use the library and sometimes if I find books on sale buy them. Went to a used book store thinking I could get some bargains books started at $5.50 and up. Go some bargain books at a christian bookstore for $3.97 - so I bought them.

Nivosum, if you like the Miss Julia books, you might want to check out the Miss Read series which takes one back to a gentler time (at least the swear words and blatant sex scenes aren't there). I am reading Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy (about the shooting in the Amish school) and for fun, just finished two of Sherryl Woods books. I like Picoult's early books, and Nicolas Sparks, and anything that is not too deep. I won't read Sophie Kinsella too many swear words.
Who writes the Miss Read series? Sounds like something I would like. |
The Miss Read series is written by: Miss Read and J.S. Goodall...according to Google. I've always just found them under Miss Read.

I am reading The Transit of Venus for our reading group which meets next Wed.

My DH originally bought me a Sony ereader. That was an expensive mistake. And Sony was no help. We could not have a pdf on there at the same time as an epub. It's now a paper weight - spent about $300 on that piece of junk. A year later DH bought me a Nook Color and I absolutely love it. Can listen to audio books and also watch Netflix or even check email (although this function is slow). Barnes and Noble has a lot of free books and also authors will sometimes run a special on some of their books for a limited time. The very best feature of the ereader is being able to increase font size - the older I get the harder it is to read small print. And, since it's backlit, whenever DH and I travel and I can't sleep, I can read in bed without disturbing him.
My favorite authors are Jayne Ann Krents/Jayne Castle/Amanda Quick, Nora Robers/J.D. Robb, Linda Howard, Janet Evanovich, Christine Feehan, Robyn Carr, Carla Neggars, Janet Chapman, Sandra Brown, Susan Mallery, Linda Lael Miller, Christina Dodd, Anne McCaffrey, J. K. Rowling, Judi McCoy (dogwalker mysteries). |
Well, I officially feel way less grown up now!!! The book I just started this morning is the Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. I am a huge Percy Jackson fan and his newest series is really good too. I wasn't a huge fan of his Kane series however. Other than that I spend most of my time in the sci fi/Fantasy or children's sections of barnes and noble. :o. I personally don't like the whole e-reader thing, but my husband does, and I am going to use it soon cause he got the sherlock holmes series free from Amazon. I have a few books from my favorite authors coming out over the next two months so huzzah for that!!! :).
I do enjoy a few mysteries, I love Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Tess Gerritsen. I have also gotten into the Cadfael series with Derek Jacobi. It's based of books by Ellis Peters so I'm gonna try those out too. For a quick feel good book where there's always a happy ending I usually grab a romance. Though I have enjoyed a few books by Sarah Addison Allen recently. Sugar Queen and Garden Spells were pretty cute. I do enjoy Clive Cussler as well. Though with fall well under way I feel the need to break out my Anne of Green Gables series again. Those ones never get old. |
I'm currently Joseph Finder's novel Buried Secrets. Extremely good read!
