i got the ebook that is the 50th anniversary edition.I LOVE Lord of the Rings!
I finally finished Bellewether by Susanna KearsleyHow are you guys doing with your reading?
I always liked the Mrs. Murphy books. I love her attitude.I finally finished the Tea Shop Mystery series! Whew! Look, there was a real formula going on with that series. Theodosia (and sometimes her staff) would be catering or attending some gala event in Charleston, and some fairly prominent person would be murdered. Theodosia would investigate, chasing down false leads aplenty, and the real killer would turn up at the very end, generally threatening Theodosia's life in the bargain.
Now, THAT SAID, although the journeys all started and ended in pretty much the same place, the routes varied fairly wildly each time, and since the journey IS the destination, in my mind, I enjoyed the scenery along the way tremendously. Add to that a host of delicious recipes, lots of information on different teas and how to brew them, ideas for tea parties, and an index of sources for all things tea at the end, I am more than happy that I spent the time to read them. There are three more in the series, but I'll have to wait until I can find them used.
Following that, I gulped down "Sleep Like a Baby," the last of the Aurora Teagarden books by Charlaine Harris. I'm a huge Harris fan, and was more than happy to have this series come to an end in a way that left all of my "friends" in very good places, indeed.
Once I get off of here, I'll start "Madam, Will You Talk," by Mary Stewart. This is a re-read, but it's been years, so I'm looking forward to rediscovering it.
That will probably carry me through until tomorrow sometime, when I'll dive head first into the Mrs. Murphy books by Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie (what a wonderful name for a cat!) Brown. I've read a few of them, out of order, over the years, but I have the entire series now, so I'm going to do it all the way through!
Wowza!! You have a library!!I'm about halfway through "Wish You Were Here," the first of the Mrs. Murphy books. It's a re-read, but from awhile back. Really enjoying it.
AND...I just entered my 2000th book on my AllMyBooks software! Now, that's both my owned and my wishlist books, but I'm getting things organized! Once ALL of the books are entered, I need to go bookshelf by bookshelf and check to make sure I have the right format listed. It's a work in progress.
only, ha!! Do you have an entire room devoted to books?Oh, I only own about 850 of them. The rest are wish list items...
Wowza, 10,000 will keep you busy. Nice gift.I was given a DVD with over 10,000 science fiction, mystery and spy ebooks on it. I don't count them, but still have 500-600 on my Fire. I tend to buy the series sets of science fiction, usually for 99cents for 4-13 books. I have at least 250 unread.
