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

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).

I'm back to reading cozy mysteries (1 that's paranormal). I read a bit more of The Jupiter Game last night, but it's so complex, it takes a lot more concentration. I'm now at 53%. Others I've read lately: Mistletoe Magic by Melissa McClone & (now) Easy Bake Coven by Liz Schulte. It 'says' I've read it , but I don't remember it at all.

Baseball Before We Knew It"

I am reading "Baseball Before we Knew it" by David Block. It is fascinating, especially if you are a fan. As I am still reading it, I see the sport as having a number of individual origins, all apart from each other in various parts of the world, where boys had sticks and something to hit them with.

I always enjoy a light hearted mystery. I try to have a varitey of books to read. I am so spoiled with kindle, like most of us, I can have so many books at my fingertips! It seems decadent

Lyn, I really love this series. It's about the only other one I 'might' end up buying more of! It's also one of the few series I'm keeping after reading.
I did read #9--Carousels and Characters. As usual, very good. So far, the only one I had a hard time getting into was Sprites & Scuttlebut(#7). But I did enjoy it once I got into it.

Carci, I think I got most of that magical book club series free through newsletters. I only bought #8 and 9. Check out BookBub, The eReader Cafe, & FreeBooksy. All free newsletters. They have numerous genres and some free/the rest inexpensive.
Most of what I read now is not available at our library.
I've actually got a few paperbacks I haven't read! (a friend's husband dropped off a small box when his wife was cleaning out things). Not my fav genre, so they are still sitting here. I only read digital now--can read without a light on, in bed, etc. Lately, I mainly read in the evening (reruns on tv) and as I wind down before sleep.

Nice to see a few posts on Bookoholics again. I used to check in every day. So sorry to learn of Gloria's passing. In the last 2 days I've read Just a Regular Boy by Catherine Ryan Hyde, one of my favorite authors. I've read everything she's written and loved every one. I'm 1/2 way through Rolling Toward Clear Skies since yesterday and will probably finish it today.
I looked for your magical book series at my library but they only have her non-fiction baby books available. Amazon has them if you join Kindle unlimited but I prefer a paper book in my hands so I guess I''ll have to pass on that series.
