OT-Reading Materials

I just got my new Kindle and now I have to add a book. Since this is a
virgin, I want that book to be a really good read. Not the great American
novel, just something entertaining. I love mysteries and contemporary
novels. Pretty much anything but Harlequin Romance.

Any suggestions?

Aha...the green light eventually turned on. How long did you have to
wait?? I was thinking of you probably staying up half the night playing
with it!

I got home around 12.30...and then we spent an hour trying to get the
damn lovebugs off the car; they were all stuck on the radiator, too.
Other than that, it was an uneventful trip.

Many thanks for a great time.

Thanks for letting me know you're home safely. I was going to call later in
the day.

It was a great time, wasn't it? So good to actually put a face and a body
to someone you care about.

The kindle actually charged pretty quickly. I didn't time it, but I don't
think it was more then an hour. Now my dilemma is what book to put on it.
After all, this book will be #1.

Try "The Shack" by W Paul Young. I found it to be my all time favorite
book. I recommend it to everyone I know!

Not to beat my own drum (much!) and to pull this back to slightly on
topic, you could download one of my mysteries in the Betsy Devonshire
mystery series. Set in and around a needlework shop in Excelsior,
Minnesota, they are light and cozy -- comfort reads, really. Titles
a
Crewel World, Framed in Lace, A Stitch in time, Unraveled Sleeve, A
Murderous Yarn, Hanging by a Thread, Cutwork, Crewel Yule, Embroidered
Truths, Sins and Needles, Knitting Bones, Thai Die, and Blackwork.
Forthcoming is Buttons and Bones.

Beat Away. Gillian visited me yesterday and told me, along with several
others, that I should be reading your books and I promise I will. They do
sound delightful. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure how I missed them in
the past.

I promised myself to read them now.

Ah, Lucille - Mary Monica has indeed bragged worthily! And....would you
like me to send you a care package with a bunch? I think I have all but one
of them (which I did a library thing)? I can send you a book parcel, as I'm
trying to clear up some clutter, and wouldn't mind....

Also - I adore the Alexander McCall Smith "No 1 Ladies Detective Agency"
series. Quick reads, but with a lovely feeling and perspective about life.
Those are amongst my modern favorites.

Thanks for the offer. I will certainly listen to the experts and read
these books.

Blessed Are the Cheesemakers, by Sara Kate Lynch. It's actually more
fun to listen to but it was also a good read. It is FULL of twists
and turns that will keep you guessing and laughing, and maybe even
crying. Or, there is Shadow of the Wind. It takes place in Barcelona
after WWII. I think the author on that one is "Zafon", but I don't
remember exactly. Happy Reading!
