Favorite Genres?
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

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'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).

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.
