This weekend I finished which was okay, which was a 5 star for me and highly recommended, which was also a very good book, , and and they were okay.
I am now going to work on either , or . I also went to the library today to drop off books and ended up getting and .

[jingles]

For audio, I am currently listening to Sharpe's Triumph by Bernard Cornwell. It's an enjoyable book.

From the Kindle app on my iPhone, I'm reading No Breaking My Heart by Kate Angell. I'm a big Kate Angell fan, and this is a great series set in Florida. Sun, sand, beach, and really hot ball players...hmmm - lots to enjoy there :)

Started the audio of Victim Six by Gregg Olsen this morning. Good so far. This is my first time reading a book by this author.

[jingles]

I'm currently in the middle of two books:

Ocean Beach by Wendy Wax


and

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie

[Bonita]

How are you liking Death on the Nile?

[jingles]

I am liking it pretty well, Bonita. By now I am used to Christie's style of writing. And you know, language has changed so much since that time. Sometimes that can be a little off, but to be expected.

Have you read it? If so, what did you think?

[Bonita]

Yes, I read it several years ago - before I started goodreads. I'm going back and re-reading a lot of her books. Tommy & Tuppence books are my favorites followed by Miss Marple and then the Hercule Poirot books. The best thing about her books, is that there are books that have similar plots, so I don't usually remember the endings of specific books so I can re-read them every 10 or 15 years and enjoy them all over again. I agree with you about her style of writing, but I started reading her books in high school after I grew out of Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden so her books are like meeting up with old friends. (Always been a book nerd!)

[jingles]

I used to read Tricia Belsen books too! I loved those books. Funny thing - I have never read Nancy Drew. I don't know why because they were so popular.

I just started reading Agatha Christie books a few years ago so I haven't gotten to her other series yet.

[Bonita]

My uncle gave me the first two Nancy Drew books for Christmas one year. My mom was very busy and didn't have time to read adult books so we read through them together - she read while I was at school, and I read on the weekends. Fun memories!

[jingles]

Oh what precious memories those are Bonita!

No one in my family (immediate family that is) were readers. However, I have 2 nieces now that love to read. I call that redemption! Lol

[jingles]

This morning I started the audio of Heartless by Gail Carriger. These books are quite humorous. I really enjoy them.

[Delitealex]

Reading and

I'm liking it so far.

[jingles]

How are you liking Rusty Nail, Delitealex?

I love that series I'm up to the last book. Do you plan to read her YA series in the same world. Or the series with alexias daughter.

[jingles]

I do plan to read her other series. I want to finish this on first though, or at least get caught up through publication.

For some reason, I have a harder time keeping books straight when I start reading more than one series by the same author. Either that, or I find I don't enjoy the books as much. I really try (I don't always succeed) to read only one series by the same author at a time.

I'm struggling with this very problem right now with some Bernard Cornwell series.

That's good to know about the Jack Daniels Mystery series. I think I have book #1 on one of my TBR lists.

[jingles]

I'm in the middle of book #10 from the Cotton Malone series...and as always there's lot of action and excitement.

The Patriot Threat by Steve Berry

[Bonita]

I just finished that one, Jingles. I really like the Cotton Malone series. Are you listening to it?

[jingles]

Yes, Bonita and I love Scott Brick's voice!!!

He manages to cover Cotton's personality perfectly.

During this one, I really liked the part where Steve Berry comments after some of the chapters. It's kind of like his section at the end where he separates fact from fiction.

[Bonita]

I agree! That added so much to the book for me. Enjoy!

[James]

Finished and a while ago.

Currently reading , , and .

[jingles]

Thanks, Bonita. I have a crush on Cotton, so I'm enjoying it :)

James - how are you liking Winter of the World? I read that awhile back and enjoyed it.

[jingles]

This morning I started Screwdrivered by Alice Clayton, and it's pretty hilarious.
