So what are people reading now?
I'm just finishing the latest Jack Reacher book, Past Tense. I finished a number of books while I was on vacation visiting my friend in Arizona including one of the Elm Creek Quilts books, The Cross-Country Quilters. I'm enjoying the series and have heard good things about her other books especially Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker. Non-fiction was The Trauma Cleaner which while fascinating was not at all what I expected by judging the book by it's cover. I re-read the Beekeeper's Apprentice, first in the Mary Russell series, had read it when it first came out and now have 20 years of sequels to read -- the Beekeeper btw is Sherlock Holmes. Also finished Deck the Hounds, the latest Andy Carpenter book. They are short lightweight mystery stories always with a dog, I really don't like the Andy Carpenter character very much but he's grown on me.
I listen to audio books from my local library system and it never fails that no matter how many books I have on hold or for how long, they all come off hold at the same time so I'm currently in a glut of books. Coming up I have a Clive Cussler/NUMA story, Sea of Greed; Faerie Knitting by Alice Hoffman; Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver; The Darkness by Ragnar Jonasson (a short Icelandic mystery); and Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon -- so many books, so little time! The nice thing about audio books is I can sew/iron while listening
