June reading list.......not necessarily in this order!!  I'll be adding more later as time allows. 

Hey, Good Looking by Fern Michaels --- A sweet, feel-good story, typical Fern Michaels. Endearing characters coming to grips with death, family reconciliation and finding love, no matter what your age.

Lakeside Cottage by Susan Wiggs

The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier- Chevalier's first novel.  I didn't like it as well as Girl With A Pearl Earring or even Falling Angels, later novels written by her. While she kept my interest with the historical parts of the novel, I tired of the modern day protagonist. I'm afraid Ella got on my nerves!!

Close Enough to Kill by Beverly Barton --- WOW!!!  A real page-turner, I stayed up until 3:30 am finishing this book. A tense , well-written plot, loved the 2 main characters.

Under the Knife by Tess Gerritsen

Low Country by Anne Rivers Siddons --- reading now

Dead Wrong by Mariah Stewart

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini -- reading now I'm about 1/3 of the way through this book and I've had to put it aside for now. Maybe I'll finish later, maybe not. With all the reviews I thought it must be a terrific book, but I find it terribly depressing and I can't get into it. So on to something I can enjoy.....

Black Friday by James Patterson --- James Patterson at his best. Tense, page-turning plot....you don't know the villian until the last few pages, and it's not who you thought it was!!

Invasion of Privacy by Perri O'Shaughnessy

Unspoken by Lisa Jackson--- waiting in the wings

Murdering Mr. Monti by Judith Viorst -- Very funny book, I loved the author's quirky humor, stereotypical Jewish mother, always trying to solve everyone's problems, and usually making a mess of it, but never learning...

Sullivan's Island by Dorothea Benton Frank

Plum Island by Nelson DeMille ---Really, really good book. DeMille knows how to keep you engrossed in the plot. Love John Corey anxious to read more of the books about him.

Hello Darkness by Sandra Brown

Well-Schooled in Murder by Elizabeth George  --- I really like how Elizabeth George weaves several story lines together besides the main murder plot and doesn't get the reader lost or bogged down. Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers become real people along with Deborah & Simon Allcourt-St. James. Each succeeding novel fleshes out more of their lives.

Let Me Call You Sweetheart by Mary Higgins Clark ---I really think Mary Higgins Clark is a very good mystery writer. Her books keep you turning the pages without a lot of the blood and gore that the more modern day writers use [not that I don't enjoy a little blood and gore on occasion]. But her books are well worth reading. I've got several more to read and have already read quite a few.

This Year Will Be Different by Maeve Binchy -- As always Maeve Binchy touches the heart with her stories. This is a small book filled with her [very] short stories about people and how they celebrate [or not] Christmas. Her books never fail to leave me both up-lifted and sad.

That Summer by Joan Wolf --- up next

The Edge by Dick Francis --- Dick Francis' books are always a great read. Tense plots and believable, likable main characters.  The good guy always wins in the end!

Silent Waters by Jan Coffey -- Tense, edge-of-your-seat plot. I could not put this down, started it last night and read today until I'd finished it. On a level with "The Hunt For Red October", one of my all-time favorite books!!

The Dead Room by Heather Graham

Killer Pancake by Diane Mott Davidson -- A continuation of the Goldy's Catering series. A quick, light read. Always fun.

Home Again by Kristin Hannah

New authors this month....   Jan Coffey,    Khaled Hossini,   Beverly Barton,   Joan Wolf,    Judith Viorst

Finished

In a Far Country by Linda Holeman - Another page turner from one of my favorite authors.

The Lacemakers of Glenmara by Heather Barbieri - A quick and easy read. I enjoyed it and look forward to her next book.

The Saffron  Gate by Linda Holeman - My least favorite of her books.

Dead Like You by Peter James - This is my least favorite of his books.

Shantaram (Audio) by Gregory David Roberts -  One of the best books I've ever read!

Lowcountry Summer by Dorothea Benton Frank - A disappointing effort from one of my favorites, IMHO.

Trust No One by Gregg Hurwitz - Really enjoyed this page turner.

The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen - Charming and magical. Will not disappoint fans of her earlier books.

Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson - Pulled me in from the first page. Really enjoyed it.

Currently reading

Pray for Silence by Linda Castillo

I just started reading THE LACE READER by Brunonia Barry.   I thought it was more of a contemporary chic lit kind-of-a book....but it is turning into a very good mystery-thriller.

I started Monkeewrench by PJ Tracy late yesterday afternoon.  Needless to say at 3 am this morning I finished it.  It was great, I loved the characters and the story.  I have already went on line at my local library and requested the next three books to read, can't wait to get started.  I had seen the book on PBS and read the reviews and when I saw it at a local used book store last week I picked it up, WOW I sure am glad that I did.  If someone is looking for a really good read I highly recommend this book, I hope the rest of the series is just as good!

I'm just starting East of Eden by John Steinback.  Don't know what I'll be reading next.  It will either be a Oprah Winfrey Book Club book or a book from the many series that I have started or a wish list book.  Tammy it looks like you are doing what I'm doing this year and reading some series books.  If you have not checked out www.fictfact.com then you need to.  It helps you keep up with the books that are in a series and it will also tell you when the next one will be coming out.

I can only read one book at a time and that book is

I finished Persian Girls by Nahid Rachlin.  I'm about half way through Kindness of Strangers by Katrina Kittle.

Lady of Milkweed Manor :: Julie Klassen

I am reading Lady of Milkweed Manor.  It really caught me at the first page.  A novel about the goings on at a home for unwed mothers in Regency England.  The newest unwed pregant woman to arrive is a Parson's daughter and a Lady.  That is all I am going to say.  Good read.
