Thanks for the list. I used to finish every book I started no matter how bad but I now have a 70 page rule. If I still do not like the book by 70 pages I quit! There are so many books I want to read (and more coming everyday) I will not live long enough to get through them!!!

@DiAnne, I hear you but, since I love Tana French, I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I have a few authors in that category. Louise Penny is another. I used to read them all too. Now I'm older and more discriminating haha. I have one huge reading list. Lucky me!!! LM

After a string of two boring, monotonous Michael Connelly books from the Lincoln Lawyer series, I read a quick, good murder mystery, The Couple Next Door, by Shari LaPena. I really enjoyed it and it I read it in a day.

This morning I started reading Finding Jake by Brian Reardon. I'm not very far into it but it's got me, and I can't wait to get back to reading it.

I needed a few quickies to get back into the groove. I can't believe I wasted 12 days one one book I ended up skimming through the middle to get to the end, and then not caring!

I think I was just really tired of courtroom drama.

Happy reading!

Beatrix Potter's Gardening Life by Marta McDowell
(the plants and places that inspired the classic children's tales)

UPDATE:

This turned out to be a very good selection. It includes a lot of BP's illustrations and photos that were taken of her and the gardens at that point in time.

It was a good one for me as well.

finishing up ~ Two by Two by Sparks ~ very good book involving a sweet father & daughter relationship

Finished Chaos, Patricia Cornwell's new book. I thought it was pretty good, and not as dark as some of her later books.

I just finished volume one ... Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (fiction), and The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code (non-fiction).

I've joined a reading group online ... we're start "meeting" in early January. We're doing Augustine's "City of God."

I've downloaded a ton of Kindle books ... I'm good for another several months.
