In my quest to finish some series I've started, I'm reading Roseanna
. Yes it's the first in the series, I'd picked up a later one at my library to see if I liked it and now I have to start at the beginning.
Just started
. Definitely not a cozy mystery, but very good so far!
A romance of course ! Susan Mallery's Christmas on 4th Street. Lovely so far, on page 100.
I'm reading Guns, Germs and Steel: A Short History of Everybody for the Last 13,000 Years.I'm only in as far as the prologue, but the presentation of the theory in CGP Grey's "Americapox" YouTube Video really made me want to read the book, so I'll see how it goes. It's thought-provoking already.

. These are fast becoming a favorite."I really like this series so far. I also recommend it on audiobook to anyone who likes that format.

I love audiobooks, I'll have to see if I can find book 3 on audiobook. Thanks!
Speaking of audiobooks, started First Drop of Crimson
on audiobook this morning while folding the laundry.

I read that a while back and enjoyed it, I have the 3 Vlad series novels to read and a few short stories to clean up the whole Night Huntress and related works series.

I'm working on finishing the entire Night Huntress "universe" including novellas too. I really enjoy them, but this is my first audiobook from the series. So far so good.

Sometimes I think I'm the only guy who reads the Night Huntress series. Maybe I'll read the first of the Vlad, don't call me Dracula, series next.

I will concede that I skim through the bedroom antics of Cat and Bones and the other couples in the various books.
Just read
A short story that fits between the first and second books of The Ministry of Pecular Occurances series. The story could have used a good proof reading, but I otherwise liked it.

I liked him as a side character in the Night Huntress books, but wasn't crazy about the books based on him and what's-her-name! The first one wasn't bad, but I really didn't like the 2nd one. Vlad doesn't carry a whole book well. Didn't like the one about Mencheres either, but then I never liked him!

Well, darn. I thought Vlad would be my reward for making it through some of the other books!
So, Denise ruined First Drop of Crimson
completely for me and I had to quit partway. Normally I would just skim, but it's hard to skim an audiobook. Oh well, onward.
Name Withheld by J.A. Jance (#13 of her Seattle detective series starring J P Beaumont)
Started Gambit
last night. I do love Nero and Archie and I have a lot of books to go in this series.
Lacey wrote: "Just started 
by Tony Hillerman last night."I really enjoyed this one. I haven't read any others in the series but they are definitely on my TBR list.

I read this one for last year's "Ultimate" challenge, and liked it. I recently stumbled across book two at the library's used book sale and had to pick it up.
Just finished reading
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks. Much better than the movie!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mod
Am now finished with
by Jeff Shaara. It is a book enjoyed by American history lovers - such as myself - or by men and boys who love good military stories! Otherwise, maybe not so much.
Well, it wasn't a mystery... but I did find it very cozy.Just finished reading
Emma: A Modern Retelling by Alexander McCall Smithhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished reading
A Field of Darkness (Madeline Dare, Book 1) by Cornelia Readhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I have A Clockwork Orange
waiting for me to get started. I'm kind of dreading it it so here's hoping it goes well.

Erin wrote: "I have A Clockwork Orange waiting for me to get started. I'm kind of dreading it it so here's hoping it goes well."That would be a tough read. Agree with Heather, the movie was bad enough!
I just started reading
by Ransom Riggs as a book for the Popsugar challenge (it's being made into a movie this year). So far I am really enjoying reading it... It's very peculiar ;D.
Finishing Ask Me Why by Jodi Thomas et al. Four novellas..first one is the best.
I didn't even bother starting A Clockwork Orange
. Having just finished another book that I didn't enjoy. I'll probably just take it back to the library.Listening to
Fifth Grave Past the Light and enjoying it although the narrator's voice seems all wrong for Charley.

I'm waiting to see if the Brits make a film of it!
Just finished my interlibrary loan
Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelmhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Woohoo, finally as of today the Camber trilogy and the second Kelson trilogy by Katherine Kurtz have been released for Nook and I assume Kindle. Now if we could only get the Edding's estate to get the Belgariad, Mallorean and Sparhawk novels into E book format in the US.
