a few more books. :)


 I have slowly but surely been reading a few differnt series.  Try to change it up a bit here and there. One of them is the Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich.  So far I have read the first 4.  They literally make me laugh out loud and my husband always wonders why I am laughing.  I love them.
 The next series is by James Patterson, the Women's Murder Club. I finished book 3 and can't wait to read the next one. I love the characters and I also love that it is placed in San Fransisco, makes me a bit homesick for that area since we lived there for 8 years. 
The next seris is The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel.  I am currently reading book 3. This one is book two. If you like Harry Potter, you will like these.  They again have San Fransisco in them, as well as many other cities that I have yet to visit. Paris, London, ahhh.... someday.

 Charlotte: Pride and Prejudice continued is a book about Elizabeth Bennett's best friends life after she marries Mr. Collins.  I really liked it.  Have to wonder if that is how Jane Austin would have written about them though.
Snow White and Rose Red: the Curse of the Huntsman was a really good read.  You just never really know what is going to happen.  About 2 sisters, their village and coming of age. 

I of course had to read some Debbie Macomber.  I got a news letter from her fan club the other day and my husband was making fun of me.  Hey, can I help it that almost all of her books are in Washington State and that even though they make me a bit homesick I love to read them?? Plus they are nice romance stories without all the explicit sex scenes in them.   This one was a short, an intro into her new book that comes out next week. 

This one is the second in the Cedar Cove series,  after I finish the book I am reading now I will start the next book.  I enjoy reading about the characters and how their lives change and seeing new ones come in in the small town. 
I have been doing the reading challenge for Goodreads.  I first started with 50 books for the year thinking that I would have a hard time making it. I am currently at 41 books.  Of course it has helped that my husband has been working nights and I needed something to help pass the time away.
