What are ya reading?

Just finished the sequel to "Long Road to Mercy", titled "A Minute to Midnight" and loved it!

Finally read a children's book, the author of which belonged to one of the same genealogical groups as I. It's called "The Cabin Faced West", by Jean Fritz. This took place in my PA back yard, and I was never able to find it at a reasonable price. It is definitely a children's book, but knowing the families involved and where it was set made it interesting to me!

I started "Jefferson's Daughters" last night. So far, so good. Despite his personal failings, I love Thomas Jefferson, and I'm hoping that this adds to clarity about him.

Just could not finish last book.

Set aside and started new one!

The Paris Options by Robert Ludlum.

I have two books going, one mind candy and the other more scholarly:

Mistress of the Monarchy by Alison Weir
I had just completed a re-read of Katherine by Anya Seton and decided to try a comparison (there's still a third to try!). Katherine was one of the first "adult" books I ever read, and it's a great novel. Mistress of the Monarchy is more scholarly, and not quite the relaxing read. It's still very interesting to read about the ancestors of the current Queen and her children!

The other book is Chocolate Cream Pie Murder, a Hannah Swenson Mystery by Joanne Fluke. I really enjoy this author, and will probably try one of the recipes that are always included in the Hannah Swenson series. This will be the first time I try the recipes, even though I've read 26 of the series!

Still working on Mistress of the Monarchy by Alison Weir. It simply isn't holding my interest right now.

Orphan #8 by Kim van Alkemade
It's holding my interest, even though it's not exactly what I usually read. It IS a very good first novel, though.

I do have a couple books lined up for the next few reads.
