Agatha Christie is my standby author. I have a major portion of her books and I re-read them every year it seems. I put post it notes inside on the front cover and write the month and year.

I have trouble retaining information so it's like a never ending cycle of new stories.

I am on W of Sue Grafton's novels. Plus, I am working my way through the
Elm Creek Quilters novels.

I just finished W is for Wasted by Sue Grafton. I've been reading her books for years and really like them. The last 2 haven't seemed as good to me. I don't know whether its just me but it seems like her writing is changing.

I just finished It's What I Do- A Photographer's Life of Love and War by Lynsey Addario. Well written; I really enjoyed it.

For some reason, I'm fascinated with the mail-order brides of the 1800's. I love reading about their "adventures" and trials of marriage to unknown men, and sometimes finding love. These had to be very desperate women and men to advertise for unknown marriage partners.....

The first one of her books i listened to was S is for silence. That one remains a favorite and got me hooked on Kinsey and her adventures. LOL
I believe Kinsey is becoming more mellow as she ages in the books.
