I was sorry to hear about Rapa, who I gather was the moderator here. I assume no one else has stepped up to take over? But apparently, a moderator isn't needed--since I was able to join the group anyway. I stopped posting here, since it didn't…Continue

I thank and applaud those who took up the torch after RAPA's passing, She and I acytually became good friends on Faebook and she sent me a book during my time in the hospital after a bout with cancer. She was evrything a person admires in another person. I came to really like her. ANYWAY, I again express my gratitude to all of you. I do read a lot and report now and then but my reading is mostly history (supposedly nonfiction!) so any reportage tends to have a more serious academic tone, boring to most. - Thanks for taking up the baton.

It is with great sadness that I must pass this news on. Our dear friend, Gloria Helmer also known as Datsunlvr passed away in July 2023. She was my friend here and on Eons.

I've read a number of books during the last 2 weeks & enjoyed them all:
Meditation & Mischief (#8) by Elizabeth Pantely. I've got the first 7 in this really good series (free) & decided to splurge & buy the next 2. Basic premise: a woman inherits a 'house'--which contains a secret magical library 'down' steps like a basement--but the 'library has 2 stories! She and 7 others in the 'book club' choose a book; one of them starts reading the first page--and they are magically swept into the book. So much humor here! Of course, they discover a body & they engage with the characters until they solve the murder. Each book has a differnt supernatural theme. Oh, the house came with a 'talking cat'--who is actually a man who was changed into the cat due to his crimes.
The Beach Hotel on Marco Island by Rose Ryan (prequel, then I got the set of 6 about 6 sisters)
The Bookstore on Marco Island (Nicki)
The Baby on Marco Island (Stephanie)
The Bachelor On Marco Island (Lorry)
The Restaurant on Marco Island (Ashley)
The Studio on Marco Island (Jess)
The Bride on Marco on Marco Island (Hanna)

I usually read 1 book each day, but am distracted right now. My current book is #8 in a series: Meditation & Mischief by Elizabeth Pantley. This series is about a 'magical book club', where the 8 members go 'into' a book and interact with the characters while solving the mystery.
I prefer cozy mysteries in general and ghost/witch cozies. I recently found several good science fiction mysteries and enjoyed the first two (1 left to read): Offworld Hotel & Resort by Dave Terruso, and Before The Last Star Falls by Lisa L. Tallabas.

I'm so sorry to hear about Rapa. I've checked a few times but thought the group was not active anymore, so I'm glad to hear there is activity again.
Welcome, DeeBeeCreative!

DBC... Yours is the first post in 2 years. Rapa died in Sept 2023 and things have not been the same on here since. She kept the group going for many years.
What have you read and loved recently? My current recommendations are:
We Begin At The End and How to Read A Book (A Novel)
