I really want to finish up the Stephanie Plum series, but I only own up to Seven Up right now and after picking up about 10-15 books on the weekend at garage sales and from my sister in law, I've got a lot of reading to do before I can buy any more with a clear conscience...."
Erin: Don't forget, the library makes reading free! I love my library.

by the fabulous Mary Higgins Clark or The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown."Courtney: Don't know about audio book version but I read The Lost Symbol and gave it a 4 star (see my review to see why I didn't give it a 5). I have liked all of Brown's books in this series.

Oh, I know, Denise. My problem is I have a bad habit of forgetting to return books. Libraries frown on that. And right now I've got about 20 books waiting to be read.
We have a used bookstore here that works out well for me, for every two books I return, I can get another.
My next audiobook will be The Beach House by Jane Green. My next Kindle book will be Anne's House of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery. My next hard copy book will probably be Hero at Large by Janet Evanovich.

Anyone read the Odelia Gray series by Sue Ann Jaffarian?? It caught my eye and I'm thinking about giving the series a shot.

Well, I am reading Best in Show (Judi McCoy) and Reel Murder (Mary Kennedy) but I'm also going to start
. This is the second in her travel series and the humor in it always makes me feel good.
I am reading a YA paranormal right now but my next cozy is
by Diane Killian. I love this yoga cozy series.

I'm nearing the end of my audiobook. I think I'm going to try The Lost Symbol again. Everything else I want to read I have slated to read in July for challenges.

Have you read them Melodie, What did you think? I am enjoying them, but they are different than I imagined..The next book on my cozy list is
Heaven Preserve Us

I haven't read The Secret Circle books. I've read The Vampire Diaries, the first 4 of which I enjoyed but the 5th & 6th not so much. I also have her Night Visions and one of the Night World books in The Pile somewhere. I really like Cricket McRae's Home Crafting books and am currently reading the newest,

I've read two of Cricket's books and really enjoyed them, so Something Borrowed, Something Bleu: A Home Crafting Mystery is going on my TBR list!
Up next I'm planning on reading Some Like it Lethal. I'll read Anne's House of Dreams on my Kindle. I'll listen to Step on a Crack.

As soon as I finish my current book, I'm going to read Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Murder: A Revolutionary War Mystery. The protagonist is female tavern owner during the Revolutionary War. Sounds intriguing.
Melodie, I'm really excited to start it! I've been wanting to read it for awhile now. Although, the book I'm currently reading on my Kindle may take me a bit. I started
today, so my next paperback will be

Something Borrowed, Something Bleu: A Home Crafting Mystery should be in for me at the library tomorrow!
Next up Sprinkle with Murder! Since I see most everyone has really enjoyed it, I can't wait to finish my current read and get to this one.

I've got a couple of cozies I want to start. Today I'm thinking of going with To Have and to Kill: A Wedding Cake Mystery I "won" it at LT and need to get it reviewed right after I read it. I also have Buffalo West Wing ready to go. They both look so good.
I finally found Room with a Clue by Kate Kingsbury, the first in the Pennyfoot hotel series! It's been impossible to find a new or used copy, and my library doesn't own it.I finally found it at an indie bookstore. Very excited to read it.
I'm not sure, I may read another Agatha Christie. I've been wanting to re-read Postern of Fate and Murder on the Orient Express. I've also got several of the China Bayles and Meg Lanslow books on hand.
