    Lindsey Davis - Nemesis (Falco series)

    Just finished:
    Christopher Fowler - Off the rails (Bryant and May series)
    Bernard Knight - Crowner John Mysteries (excellent and highly recommended)
    M C Beaton - Hamish McBeth and Agatha Raisin Series

    Starting later in the week:
    C J Sansom - Shardlake Series

    Just to say I have had a Kindle since the summer. I put off buying one because I wasn't sure whether I would get on with it. What a mistake! I LOVE my kindle and wouldn't be without it now.

    I, also, just finished Off the Rails! Bryant & May

    I finished The Black Cat by Martha Grimes. Am reading Out of the Dark by David Weber...it's SF. Have four mysteries by G. M. Malliet to read - St. Just series and the first book in the Max Tudor series. Just downloaded an Elizabeth Chadwick historical book only to find out it's the 2nd in a trilogy...so gotta hunt down the first book. That's means a trip to Half-Price Books...and that ain't a bad thing! Kinda like going to the fabric store....

    Fabulous book! Despite the subject matter, it reads like poetry!

    The Bible in the book of Matthew; Healing with Humor by Charles Hunter; The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas; The Adventures of Marco Polo by Marco Polo; The Tempest by Wm Shakespeare; and a couple of audio books while I sew. I read so many books depending on where I am and what I am engaged in.
