I finished the latest book I have been reading. "The Bee Balm Murders". I finished it last night..sigh. I really love the way Cynthia Riggs writes.
I feel like I know Victoria and all her friends and family . This one had an interesting new character, Orion. His relationship with Victoria was so different than usual, gentle and sweet. I can only wonder if we will see more of him? Well worth the read!,

In my ears
My current audiobook is "Threading The Needle" by marie Bostwick. A gentle read which I discover is (I think) number three in the 'Cobbled Court Quilting "series. Now if you are one of my friends who chat about reading with me, you know I am a confirmed RIO(read in order) chick.
But when I downloaded this from the library site I didn't know it was a series. Now of course, there are characters I have come across who have a 'history' which it seems others know already , and it drives me crazy. This all cong
Firms to me exactly why I am a RIO. But I am ,nevertheless, enjoying the story. It s a good commuting book. Comlicated enough to be a good story, but still t so complicated that I can't pay attention to where and how I am driving.
So eats see.........my eyes are reading a great cozy mystery with Victoria Trumble on the Vineyard. My ears are listening to a gentle chick lit book. Hhhmmmm"............. Not a gritty piece in the bunch. Bt what I haven't mentioned is that I am watching the Swedish series" The Girl Who.........". Do I recommend it. Well it is not for the weak r mellow reader. And both the books and movie require pretty close attention , and needless to say the violence is over the top. However the character development in thisseriesbis fabulous . It s a very complex stories which takesbounown many varied paths before the real gist of the story is revealed to the reader.. I say......go or it...but fast forward over the violence.

More cozy mysteries
I also just finished a sweet little cozy called "Books Can Be Decieving" by Jenn McKinley. The detective is the head of a library in a small coastal Conn. town. A fun, easy to read book. She also wrote a cozy mystery series about a cupcake shop.
What did Bill say
Just last week I saw an interview of Bill Clinton. The interviewer was asking about his favorite books. He named several scholarly titles. Then they asked what he reads for fun and he said.......some of my favorites Sue Grafton, Elizabeth George,evanovich and several others. Hhmmmm what a surprise!
My beloved Cozies
Well here I am after a year and a half. I have still been reading..of course....but not posting. My computer has been so slow, but I got a wonderful iPad for Christmas and voila!,
I have been on a Cozy kick. No surprise at that. right now I am reading "The Bee Balm Murders by Cynthia Riggs. A wonderful series with 90 something Victoria Trumball as the detective. Well worth the read.

Some of My Favorite Recently read books
- The Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. This series has 6 books in it currently. They explore the lives and times of the residents of Cedar Cove, Washington. The characters in this series are fun because they are so varied. I will admit, I would like to know about some of them. They are old and young, rich and poor, happy and struggling. They do all connect together and they all appear in each book, along with new characters all the time. The books are quick reads. I was very sad when they were done. I cant wait for the next installment of this series to come out in Sept. 2007. Visit Debbies Cedar Cove website for more and pic :http://www.debbiemacomber.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page&pageID=6
