My next planned reading..

Once I finish the Lou Boldt books, I plan on re-reading the Deadly Sins series by Lawrence Sanders. Read them years ago and remember liking them, so want to see if I still do.... Do you guys do that, plan ahead like that? Of course, I'll be reading other things along with that series...

Yes I plan what I am going to read for different seasons. Warm weather and beach locations call for light, fast and hopefully humorous reading. I have a list from here and now I read more serious and substantial action. I got some books on request at the library and will slowly work through our best books of 2007. I try to keep up with the new releases on vacation. I love to read a series by an author. Then I start another. Mary

Yes, I like to plan times when I can read books that are different from my normal mysteries. I checked Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett out of the library - intending to read that again and then read World without End. I guess I'll take it back today - half read as I've been substitute teaching so much I don't have a chance of finishing it right now. I'm back to mysteries in my "spare" time. Oh well, testing will be over, flu season will get over, conferences will get over, and I MAY? have time before summer comes. Good reading

Oh yes. Plus I'll sometimes go back & re-read a series that I've enjoyed before. The Stephanie Plum series, Katchy Reichs, and Lyn Hamilton are some that I read & re-read. Sad, isn't it?

In the past, I've never re-read, but for a very few single books. I guess maybe it's been such a long time since I read that Deadly Sins series that I'm thinking they'll seem brand new. And no doubt they will, sigh...

I like to re-read books and usually do so every year. I have been thinking of ". . . And Ladies of the Club" by Helen Hooven Santmyer and By the Light of a Thousand Stars Jamie Langston Turner. I know I will read JLT's book sometime this year but not so sure I will actually get in to HHS's book since it is so large. But I'd love to read it again.

I am so in to "Beyond Recognition" by Ridley Pearson. I really like this book can hardly put it down to play with the grands. That's bad when I do that. At least I have been keeping up with the diapers. Ha Ha it stinks if I don't.

Did you know Ridley Pearson also writes adventure books for kids? view link

I didn't know Pearson writes kids books, bet they're good ones.

I checked out the link and was pleasantly surprised to see Dave Barry as co-author. I might have to get one for the boy here. He is the reader in the grands. Mary

Although I have a couple of dozen books on my bookselves waiting to be read, I'm not much "planner." This last year I've been using the library more than the book store (my Barnes and Nobles in Arkansas just doesn't compare favorible to my Borders in Iowa). So I tend to head for the new book shelf and pick something from there. Good, new histories have been coming in regularly. But new mysteries have been harder to find -- probably because I prefer historical settings (but not paranormal stuff and why does everything have to turn into a romance) without a lot of violence. Anyway, my current read is one I'd noted when it was new but didn't have time for -- and it is really fascinating: Debby Applegate's "The Most Famous Man in America: The Bigoraphy of Henry Ward Beecher".
