my ratings of these cheap or free kindle books are usually very low I don't fall for them anymore they are usually junky. I'm not saying that is what Barb was reading - I don't know what she was reading as far as that - but its usually those self- published things

Of course, Kirsten Hannah always gets a 1 star rating from me
but thats because she is a lazy researcher and gets facts wrong.
Don't read her anymore. Like fingernails on the chalkboard.

[Jan, Moderator]

Yes Denise - Hannah's books frustrates me too. Everyone seems to love them but her "historical" books are really just glorified romances. Which is okay if that's what you want to read.

Looking for E

Finally finished S for Snow with by Robert Ferguson.

I learned my lesson - don't claim a task and then go to the library to check the book out - someone might sneak in ahead of you. Who would have thought anybody else would grab this off the shelf? lol It was fun to read; I love learning details about other cultures and snow, so it worked well for me.

I can take E for Evergreens with by William W. Johnstone.

I'd have given it 2.5 stars if GR allowed, but the mystery itself earned a "rounded up to 3 stars" instead of a "rounded down to 2" :)

There was a time last year when I seriously thought someone in my area was stalking my reading list for each month. The book/s I wanted were on the shelf -- until the day I went to get them, then they were suddenly all checked out! How on earth does that happen not just once, but several times in a couple of months?

[Barb]

I can take F for the fire on this one

Unfortunately this is not my problem: living in Italy, libraries do not have the English books that I love to read. My problem is that kindle versions of books tend to be disappearing lately. For a couple of months now it is no longer possible to buy the kindle version of a book released at the end of January! And I'm always waiting for some offer so I was screwed ...

I hate when that happens! The remaining Kindle books from a series I was reading were suddenly no long available, leaving me stranded halfway through the series. Someone was trying to sell a used paperback copy of the next book I needed -- for over $700! Ummm, thanks, but I don't want to read it *that badly LOL

[Barb]

Sorry, Jan, we got off track :)

Still looking for I

Will you pick up where we left off in this thread? Or start all over with A? Doesn't really matter, I'm just curious :)

[Jan, Moderator]

Barb - I will probably start with A. I might close this one after the next set depending on how fast or slow it goes.

[Denise S]

finished D for Dame The Queen's Accomplice by Susan Elia MacNeal


Next Up; J

[Jan, Moderator]

Appreciate the update Denise!

[Teri-K]

Finished I for Insect with by Agatha Christie.
I listened to the audiobook - I think Hugh Fraser does a great job with these. He kind of channels David Suchet as Poirot, maybe because they worked together so long?

I can do J for Jays with by Donna Andrews.

Next Up: K

[Jan, Moderator]

Great Teri!!

I can take K with Kitty

[Teri-K]

I finished listening to J for Jays with by Donna Andrews. Another fun entry in the series - #30!

Up Next : L

[Jan, Moderator]

Thanks Teri! I didn't care for the first book of that series. I wonder if I should give #2 a try.

I finished my K book so I can L with Lantern

[Teri-K]

Well, it wouldn't hurt to try another. I think the first isn't the best; the first one I read was Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon. But humor is really personal, so it just might not appeal to you. I know folks who don't think P. G. Wodehouse is funny, and I love Jeeves and Wooster. So who can tell?

[Jennifer]

I finished C - with Christmas Tree using by Steven Rowley

I can take M - with Man using

I think the first one was all about a wedding if I remember correctly. That might have contributed. Down the road I might try another one. Do you find that reading them out of order works okay??

[Jan, Moderator]

Thanks for the update Jennifer! I'll get you down for M.

Up next: N

They absolutely can be read out of order, as long it doesn't bother you that she gets married, moves, and has twin boys as the series goes on. My personal favorites are #2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 25, 26 and 29. There's a few to choose from. :)

I'd say pick one that sounds good to you at the moment and give it a try. There are a few I don't like, and a couple I haven't read, but my library and Overdrive have them all so I've picked them up over the years. The narrator's fine, so audiobooks work for me, too, though the author can be a little bit wordy with her internal monologue, and I notice it more when I'm listening.

Thanks for the info! I do have a million series I'm working on already but I might give another one a try. Series are my favorite to read because I am a very "character" oriented reader. I sometimes have a hard time getting into stand alones as I try to get to know the new people.
