Probably not as many as I checked out of the library this week! haha!

Or bought in the lobby book sales…

or have in my bookcases (or on my IPAD).
But it’s a great way to spend a hot summer afternoon. And hubby and I always read at night before we go to bed.
We like to sit in the lanai after dinner and read. It’s very peaceful and relaxing.

So now let’s talk about books. I love reading series and getting to know the characters. I try to read them in order when I can but most of the time, I end up skipping around.

Hubby and I are both reading the Andy Carpenter series by David Rosenfelt. They are considered Mystery Thrillers and have a great deal of humor in them too! Perfect!

I’m reading The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party by Alexander McCall Smith. It’s one of the No. 1 Ladies Detective series. These are all WONDERFUL books and the HBO movies were fabulous too! I love the characters in these books. The main character is Precious Ramotswe…don’t you love that name?

At the same time I am reading Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King. This is the Mary Russell series and I LOVE these books! I think I skipped this book at some point so I am going back to read it.
Other books I have and would recommend are the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear and the books by Louise Penny. Sharyn McCrumb is another favorite author.

The other books I checked out are by authors I haven’t read…yet.
So that’s what I have in my book bag this week (or on my IPAD).
