Finished The 15th Affair. It was pretty good all in all. Started the 4th book in Karen Marie Monings Fever series. Its only been a couple weeks since finishing book 3 but I swear either I completely forgot how 3 ended, was brain dead by the end of the book, or she skipped something b/c I am lost and confused! LOL!!

Have just about finished Julie Hyzy's most recent book, 'Grace Sees Red', a cute little semi-mystery, part of a series. It's a fun, easy read but not even close to being in the league with some of the great suspense authors. I have several waiting at the library so will have to pick them up and see what's next.

Am about halfway through Ward Larsen's "The Perfect Assassin"..a pretty good read now that I have gotten into it but don't think he will replace Daniel Silva. Along the same line ..an Israeli intelligence agent but the writing isn't as good as Silva's.

Just started Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty.  A new author for me.

Just started Winter Stroll by Elin Hilderbrand. The story is interesting enough to keep me reading but I feel many of the characters are depressed. I know, odd. It isn't a very long book so I should be able to zip through it over the weekend.

Just finished reading The Memory of Me by Amelie Di Maio. It was an ok book but I was a bit disappointed as others on another forum group were raving about how they couldn't put this book down! I didn't get the same reaction & I should know better than to be taken in by rave reviews. Usually turns out I'm not nearly as excited! 😊 I figure I must be very jaded or something! 

Now, I will finally finish the third book of the Glassblowers series, Paradise of Glass. I started this quite time ago. However, this this book wasn't at a point that I wasnted to pay. Did find it reasonably priced & decided to finish the series. I do like series! LOL A bit if the story:  

"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.."
