Thanks for the welcome! I know this is a quilting forum but since there are also a lot of readers out there may I suggest my favorite authors: (M.C. Beaton for cozies), Louise Penny, Michael Connelly and #1: James Lee Burke (his Dave Robicheaux series is fantastic!). Unfortunately I only have three more books to go and I will be through the entire series to date. I need to do less reading this winter and whittle down my stash. Happy quilting all!
