Welcome home. Good to know I am not the only John Hart fan. It's been a long 5 years since his last book.
I just finished reading TUCKER'S WAY by Laural Merlington. Loved it. I am not sure how I discovered it, but I am glad I did. Of course, I'm an audible member, so I use the term "read" loosely. I typically read mysteries, so this heartwarming tale of a backhills woman and a new neighbor of a different background moves next door. Great character development.
Having just finished cataract surgery, I babied myself and listened to lots of books. Started a Cordell Logan series, fun mysteries, fun characters Also read SHADY CROSS and EXTREME PREY. All great reads -- now I have to find another book, which is why I always return to Bookoholics.
Happy Mother's Day to all - whether you are a mother or planning on honoring yours!
My reply just disappeared, so I will try again!!! Just finished TUCKER'S WAY by David Johnson. A warm tale of a backhills woman and a new neighbor of a different "class". As a typical mystery reader, it was great to have a change of pace. I highly recommend it. It is the first of a series, but I will settle for the first one for now.
Recently had cataract surgery, so listened to a lot of books in a few days while I babied myself. Started the Cordell Logan series -- mysteries with a lot of humor. Also read SHADY CROSS and EXTREME PREY. All good reads for the mystery reader.

Yesterday I finished The Dig by John Preston.I had come across it by paging through my library's web site where it was recommended. The dig that the title refers to took place in England at the beginning of WWII when a woman decided to excavate some large mounds on her property. It turns out that the largest mound concealed an ancient ship that contained treasures that dated from the seventh or eighth century, AD. The story of the dig was interesting in itself, but what really grabbed me were the wonderful characters the author created in telling the story. The book was written in England and is very "Britishy" in terms and language, if you know what I mean. But that's probably because the events also go back in time nearly 80 years. If you can find the book, I do highly recommend it.
Good one Rapa and Lorauch - Thank you both.
Had my computer go down for about four days due to leaving the power cord at the Florida home workstation. Getting old and forgetting more. Picked up some top sellers at the local library: "The Last Mile" by Baldacci, as the FBI try to free a wrongfully convicted prisoner on death row with some high level government corruption involved. "See Me" by Nicholas Sparks who sets his love stories in ocean side North Carolina as a troubled young man and a Hispanic lawyer get together. "The Crossing" by Michael Connelly as Harry and Micky Haller get together to solve a crime in the LA area. This is his 27th edition of LA crime stories.
Burr!!! 32 degrees in Northern Kentucky this AM. Finished "See Me" by Nicholas Sparks last night. Again, Sparks writes a great love story, mixed with evil events and places them in one of the most beautiful places in the USA, the shores of North Carolina. This one involves a couple of 28 year old singles, one an Hispanic female lawyer and the other a rich, bad boy who is trying to turn his life around by going to college. Their pasts comes back to haunt them and just might kill them. It's on the Best Seller lists and well worth the read. Like many of Sparks' books it will probably be a movie someday. Starting on "The Big Fear" by Andrew Case, which is about corruption in NYC's police dept. and part of a series called "Hollow City." Corruption in NYC? Who knew?
