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.

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
