Meet The Author

My book club had a really fun outing this month. We all managed to get tickets to an author event at the library.

There is a new Miss Marple book for the first time in 50 years! We had the great pleasure to listen to Lucy Foley talk about her book and how she writes.

And as a bonus, we all got copies of the book! Our book club is reading this for our next month meeting. I am doing a combination of reading and listening, switching back and forth as my schedule works. The book has four main suspects or character groups so it takes some brain space to keep up with the plot as the Agatha Christie style of writing is very complex and delicious.

Happy Reading!!

Recent Reading Obession

I LOVE having a library card!! But just like my queue on Ravelry, my reading queue is daunting and I don’t know where to start. A girlfriend found me standing helplessly staring at the mystery stacks in the library and gently helped me away from the edge of the abyss. She a put a Janet Evanovich novel in my hands and pointed me to towards the checkout desk.

I had heard of Stephanie Plum series before so I wasn’t unfamiliar. But I’m glad I picked up the series. The books are seriously addicting to a murder mystery buff like myself. So far I have read:

  • One for the Money
  • Two for the Dough
  • Three to Get Deadly

The author has a great sense of humor. The characters are reasonably well developed and I find that I like that they are all a bit flawed. Most of all the books let me loose myself in them. That’s all I ask of a book, take me away to an imaginary world for a few minutes and forget my real world stress and problems. I like my books with a little mystery, lots of humor, nothing gross, nothing scary, and not so easy that I can pick the killer out on page 40. I’m a fluffy chic murder mystery kind of girl, lol.

For me this series is a winner and I can’t wait to keep reading. Novels four and five are waiting for me to pick up at the library as we speak.

What kind of books do you like to read? Anything I should read?
