What is everyone reading this week? 8/13/2016

[Gayle]

Finished Heather Graham's book just a little while ago.

Will start Boar Island by Nevada Barr this evening.

I just started Paradise of Glass, the third book in the Glassblowers trilogy by Petra Durst-Benning. I had read the first two quite a long time ago but wasn't prepared to spend the $$$ on the last. Finally found it for a  very reasonable price & now to remember what I had read so long ago!

Here is a bit from the first book to give you an idea of what it is about:
"In the village of Lauscha in Germany, things have been done the same way for centuries. The men blow the glass, and the women decorate and pack it. But when Joost Steinmann passes away unexpectedly one September night, his three daughters must learn to fend for themselves. While feisty Johanna takes a practical approach to looking for work, Ruth follows her heart, aiming to catch the eye of a handsome young villager. But it is dreamy, quiet Marie who has always been the most captivated by the magic—and sparkling possibilities—of the craft of glassblowing. As the spirited sisters work together to forge a brighter future for themselves on their own terms, they learn not only how to thrive in a man’s world, but how to remain true to themselves—and their hearts—in the process."

I just finished Fast Track by Fern Michaels.

Finally got James Pattersons 15th Affair from the library. I was on the waiting list forever!! Now I just need to stay out of the kitchen so I can get it read.

Melissa-I finished James Patterson's book, 15th Affair, not long ago and really enjoyed it, not easy to put down.

[Gayle]

OK, I discovered very quickly that I've already read Boar Island.  Now I need to dig into my own library of books and/or make a trip to our community library.

[mnwildflowers]

Almonds-I'm enjoying it already. I like the Lindsey Boxer character.

Same here! Hope there is another or has that been announced already?

Has anyone read the Southern Sisters series by Anne George? I loved it.  I used to travel a lot with work and listened to the audio books in the car. The truckers must have thought I was crazy because I would laugh so hard. There was always a murder mystery that the sisters solved. Anne George died and I put off reading the last book for the longest time. I didn't want it to end.

Janet

I dug  an old book out of my own library .  So I am reading Daniele Steel's, Message From Nam.  I've read it before but it's been a few yrs ago.

[cooktocook]

Janet, I ran across a review for the Southern Sisters series by Anne George a few months back, but never read one of the books.  The sisters sound like a hoot, so I'll have to check and see if my library has any books in the series.  Thanks for the reminder.

Lori, the Southern Sisters are a hoot. One sister is small framed and quiet and the other is a larger woman, loud, and very out going. They get themselves in all kinds of predicaments while they try to solve the murders.  If you can, read the books in order because the characters build.

I'm finishing up Hokus Pokus by Fern Michaels.
