I mainly stick to cozy mysteries. Right now, my favorites are books that have ghosts or witches. And I also read a lot of books where the main character has inherited an inn, B&B, or other business. I'm on a tight budget, so I get a lot of…Continue

As of today, I've read 13 books in Sept.--with 2 started. One of these is from 'cloud' which I was finally able to access with my iPad mini. I explained in my blog the problems my iPads have with Kindle. So I'm very glad I don't NEED that app to…Continue

I'm still reading a lot. I've gone through another hundred books at my Amazon acct, so I'm now down to just over 7,100. Today, I saw an ad at FB for a freebie--I have it; but had to read the 'start' to be sure it was interesting. I thought Diana Orgain didnt write my type of books--but 2 chapers of first book changed my mind! The first book is Bundle of Trouble--and grabbed my attention immediately.

I read 18 books is January, but 5 of them were rereads. Right now I have 2 started--both paranormal cozies. I've been busy during the days so mainly reading at night--if I'm not too tired. I'm still slowly deleting some from my Amazon account. Some 'new to me' good authors: Tessa Silver, Sloane Foster, Rowan Dillon, & Stella Bixby. Some old favorites I'm enjoying: Rosie A. Point, Brittany Joy, & Bella Colby. I now have over 60 on my 'do not read--Present Tense list'.

Hi, Carci. Happy to hear from you. Wow, that book must get a lot of publicity or 'word of mouth' to have that many looking for it. I lookeld & my librray doesn't have it (at least not in eBook).
My 'do not read' list is ONLY for Present Tense writers. I get most of my free books from newsletters & hadn't really seen this until the last year or so. I have to wonder if it's actually AI. Oh, that brings me to one other author: Maisy Marple is AI. I had read a few of those & enjoyed them, then I got curious & looked 'her' up; it started as ghost writing, then turned to pure AI. Real writers like me really hate AI! (no, I've not been published, I write mainly for myself & friends). At this stage of life, between so much 'bad stuff' going on in real life, I stick to light cozies or 'clean' romances. I'm almost 'housebound,' which is why I have so much time to read, lol.

Dee, I recently finished Theo of Golden which has over 400 people waiting for it at my library. It's a beautiful story of creative generosity with lots of interesting characters. I read 1-2 books a week and this is one of the best I've read recently. It is the first book by this author so I doubt he is on your 'do not read' list. I have a couple of authors that I avoid as well... :)

I'm still reading one book daily. In Jan. I read a total of 26 (1 was a long short story) plus rereading a 4 book series by a favorite author. I haven't started a list for this month yet! But, I did reread the first 4 books of a series by Rosie A. Point, one of my favorite 'indy' authors.

Is anyone else reading at all??

I'm still reading a lot, but I'm being more selective. First: I can't stand Present Tense!! So I'm checking before I download a book now--I made a list, which now has 50 names on it, of authors I will NOT read. If possible, I read a Sample before I download a book. And I check my list to see if that author is on it.
I still have so very many books to read that I don't really need any more, but there are some I just can't resist. The only authors I 'buy' now are: Bobbi Holmes (Haunting Danielle series), and Elizabeth Pantley (magic book club series). However, very occasionally, I'll find a book that is too good to resist! ($1-5, due to budget).
Anyway, I've been going through my Amazon list & looking at the oldest items — dating back to 2014. And I've found a few that I've read--but are so good, I end up reading them again!
One series was by Morgana Best--her haunted funeral home series. Those are so very funny! And the mystery part is good, too. Today I'm reading Elizabeth Pantley's latest: Critters and Crime.

I am still reading a lot! In the last two weeks, I've read books by 2 of my favorite authors. The 'new' one is by Bobbi Holmes: The Ghost & Christmas Magic (#37 in the Haunting Danielle seris). This is the only author I 'buy' now, due to a tight budget. But every book is simply great! The other one is : Divided in Death by J.D. Robb. That's one I'd forgotten about, so I got it from my library and read it again--another very good one from her! (pen name for Nora Roberts--for her futuristic murder mysteries).

Recently finished 'Michael Without Apology' by Catherine Ryan Hyde... another thought compelling, insightful, uplifting book by this wonderful author... all of her books are highly recommended!

I'm now in the middle of the most recent Elizabeth Pantley book: Puzzles & Premieres. Other books I've read recently were cozies: Dead Tide by Leighanne Dobbs & 2 others in that series; as well as about 8 that were PDF (I'm tryng to clear out those).
