    Default Read any good books lately?

    Read Kill and Tell by Linda Howard. Very good book.
    Now I'm reading Will Robie series by David Baldacci.
    Also enjoyed his King and Maxwell series.
    Read all the Sue Grafton series (loved all the series but "X" was
    just terrible),
    Alex Cross series and Women's Murder Club by James Patterson,
    Maggie O'Dell series by Alex Kava,
    Sharon McCone series by Marcia Muller.
    J.A. Jance - Joanna Brady, JP Beaumont, Ali Reynolds.
    Alisson Brenan - Lucy Kincaid series
    Sandra Brown.
    Can you tell I like series? LOL.

    I prefer mystery/detective books and romantic suspense once
    in a while (heavy on the suspense).

    I just finished the "Earth's Children series" by Jean Auel. Very good books if you can get past the sex scenes. I am supposed to be reading "Game of Thrones" series as my husband bought it for Christmas for me, but the author still has 2 more books to write and seems in no hurry to finish...I am in the process of reading "Wolves at Our Door" by Jim and Jamie Dutcher and it is fascinating. They also made a documentary by the same name.

    I love the Inspector Gamache mystery series by Louise Penny. The first on is Still Life.
    I just finished reading Flight of Dreams and like it a lot.

    I just finished "Warmth of Other Suns"--can't remember the author's name. It told of the migration of blacks from the Jim Crow south to the north. Very interesting and illuminating.

    Have read most of the ones you mentioned, except haven't heard of Alex Kava or Marcia Muller. I enjoy all of them.

    I've been reading all of Sandra Dallas's. I read The Last Midwife and loved it. I started with her first book and have been reading them in order. They're all stand alone novels but the mention someone from a previous book which is fun.
