I am always looking for new authors =
----------------------------------------- Donna Andrews If you like funny murder mysteries, i'd strongly advise you to try Donna Andrews' books. Every one of hers has a bird's name in it. The absolute best, one that I re-read often, is called "We'll Always Have Parrots." And she has another series about one of the strangest main characters ever, a computer generated person who, with a middle aged secretary, takes over the company when crooks try to ruin it!! |

I would put them in the same category as "The Cat Who ... " type of mysteries. Kind of fluffy reading. Definitely not Patricia Cornwell type of mystery. |

And one about an herb shop owner that solves mysteries. I read like 3 books a week or more if they are the fluff kind. And that's just reading before I go to bed. When I was recovering from surgery there were days I was reading 2 books a day . You can only watch so much TV.

Hmm..interesting, quilters and gardeners all seem to love crime fiction....and people think it's a "gentle art"!
I found out about the Elm Quilt novels a while ago, and they are rather a "sweet" read...but like Mad and many others I really do like the more gritty stuff. I will try and check out the others mentioned, because sometimes you have days where a light read is all you can manage. I love books and worked for years in the book trade, but I only buy/collect non-fiction. I get my fiction reads via the local library, I wouldn't be able to buy fabric otherwise! |

I am not sure what state you live in but if they have a state library as ND does they will send books to your home and you return them postage paid when you are finished. The ND library even has book tapes for those that have trouble with their sight, they furnish the CD/tape player. Might want to check into this.
