Any suggestions? You mentioned wanting to read "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton. That's a suggestion if you don't want to hold a "heavy' book while reading it, something DM complains about these days. Nancy |

I figured it would be a good way to start using the Kindle and would make it happy. I couldn't remember who suggested that book and if it was you, thanks again. It looks like a nice read and a good way to remove myself from the very dark, very bloody mysteries I usually read. Lucille |

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. Mary Monica aka Monica Ferris 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. Lucille Lucille, I will put the first two or three in the mail to you. Then you can see if you want to read more. They are paperbacks, and lightweight, so you don't have to schlepp anything heavy with you. They are enjoyable, and the characters are definitely interesting...and different. They follow through from one book to the next, so I prefer reading them in sequence. Gill |

I love mysteries and contemporary novels. Pretty much anything but Harlequin Romance. Any suggestions? Your #1 choice, Forgotten Garden, is a winner. Enjoy! I think a good #2 would be "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand." A charming story, full of good, old-fashioned virtues. You could really relish the irony of immersing yourself in this "escape" while reading it on your all-to-modern contraption, LOL! Sue -- Susan Hartman |

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! Liz from Humbug That was *good one and I read her other one too - oh what was it now.. By Bread Alone. And it turns out she has a whole bunch of others too. Another thought, though maybe not for book #1, is anything from Katie Fforde. Perky little romances. Cheryl Oh, I forgot about those! I discovered them accidentally while looking up Jasper Fforde and decided that I like Katie's books even better. :-) Right now, I'm re-reading the Amelia Peabody books. Liz from Humbug |
