It's May!  It's May!  The lusty month of May!  (Apologies to Lerner and Lowe)  What are you reading this month?  I'm still plugging away with the second book of the "Rome" series by M.C. (Manda) Scott.  I don't think I'll be finishing books 3 and 4 of this series, it's just nothing special.

Reading The Harvest Man by Alex Grecian.  Finished Lost Among the Living by Simone St. James.  Good one!  Awfully busy now with cleaning yard, trimming trees, planting gardens and attending family spring activities so reading is primarily done en route to and from.  It's a wonderful life!

I am reading Ghost Fields by Elly Griffith. Love this this series. Mostly set in present but goes back to WWII and US Airforce in England. Excellent series but must be read in in order. 

I finished Bruce Alexander's series about Sir John Fielding.  I loved it!  The last book was probably the weakest, but he died before finishing it, and so his wife did the honors.  What can you do...

So now I'm in that wonderful position of choosing a new book to read!! 

R.E.K. did you see my review of the Alex Grecian series on the PBS blog?  Here's a pro tip:  GET BOOK FIVE!!!  The cliffhanger in Harvest Man is unreal!

No Vicky, I didn't but I finished Harvest Man and can't wait to get the next one.

Has anyone read any of Steve Berry's books?  He was one of my daughter's favorite authors, and she was always bugging me to read him. 

So, since I still have all her books, and she had all of Berry's books, I decided to celebrate this Mother's Day weekend by finally reading him.  I started The Templar Legacy, the first of his Cotton Malone books.  It's fun so far! 

I've begun an enjoyable read, The Woman on the Orient Express by Lindsay Jayne Ashford. 

I am reading new release The Abbot's Tale by Conn Iggulden.  Set in 937 England. Looking forward to reading it this weekend.!!

Vicky - I enjoyed The Amber Room by Steve Berry and have The Charlemagne Pursuit and The Romanov Prophecy on my TBR.

Not reading HF at the moment.  Am reading The Windup Bird Chronicles (a take on contemporary Japanese life) and The Dream Thieves (YA fantasy).  Definitely not HF!

I'm read Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton.  It's a fictionalized account of the "fossil wars" between O.C. Marsh and E.D. Cope in the 1870s. It's  pretty decent so far.

I'm reading Journey to Munich by Jacqueline Winspear; the next Maisie Dobbs installment I have on my reading list.  I did also just finish up April Lady by Georgette Heyer; not one of her best in my opinion, but still an enjoyable read.

Reading The Muralist by B.A. Shapiro.  Discovered this author when I read The Art Forger which I liked so much.  Such talent.  Such writing.  Such a good story.  Wonderful HF about the art world.

I just finished A Killing in Kaldaire house by Kate Parker. It was very good. Set in early 1900's England. Disguisses the theory that Queen Victoria was illegetimate. Good forst start to a series.

Vicky --- I have read a good many of the books by Steve Berry.  Cotton Malone is one of my favorites.

Beginning That Autumn in Edinburgh by Ciji Ware.  Enjoyed The Muralist by B.A. Shapiro very much. Finished Autumn.  It's an interesting historical romance/contemporary book.  As they research their ancestery, the key characters discover that romance is very similar to that of a pair of Scottish people who lived so many years earlier.  Very nice read.
