Love the Outlander series! I read them as they came out originally & have several sets. My hardbacks never leave my shelves, but I have 3 sets of paperbacks: 1 set for my use, & 2 sets to loan out to friends. Love the Starz series, too. For Valentine's Day my daughter got me tickets to meet Caitriona Balfe & Sam Heughan at the Seattle Comic Con this year.

The book I'm reading right now is Saxons, Vikings, & Celts by Bryan Sykes. Very readable & interesting if you're curious about DNA discoveries as I am.

I'm all about crime thrillers, suspense, mystery, and cozy mystery books--James Patterson, John Grisham, Lee Child, John Sanford, etc. I also love the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I always have 2 books going at once...one audiobook that I listen to while I'm on the computer, and one in my Kindle reader on my phone. I usually go through about 2 a week. This week it's these:

Audiobook: Judge & Jury by James Patterson

Kindle: Motion to Kill by Joel Goldman

I do the same! I'm down an audio book right now because I finished up the last one (Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel). My Audible credit renews on 4/11!

I just read two mysteries by Chevy Stevens and they were both very good, even though it's not normally my genre!

I read about 60 books per year!

Kathy Reichs is my fave. The visuals evoked by Fatal Voyage are just, well, there are no words. If you haven't read, or listened, to Jefferson Bass- DO! Dr. Bass, creator of the world famous Body Farm, is a co-author of the series. It is delightful!

I'm in the middle of the 2nd book in the Nick Fox series by Janet Evanovich. Love the type of books you like as well.

Also reading a self help book titled Only Love Today-Reminders to Breathe More, Stress Less, and Choose Love. This book has been somewhat helpful. My house is pretty chaotic and trying to learn to be more patient and control my frustration and irritability. :) I'm a work in progress who fails often.

Sherri surgery scheduled 11/20/17!

"An incredibly SMART, AMAZING, HANDSOME, SILLY KID with AUTISM ROCKS my entire WORLD." I asked my son once what he would tell people to help them know more about Autism. He said, "I would want them to know that even Albert Einstein had autism."

Currently reading The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen (2016 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction). It's my book club pick this month. Interesting so far.

On the side, I'm reading Wildacre by Philippa Gregory.
