I'm into day 3 of "Someplace to be Flying" by Charles de Lint, one of my top 3 favorite authors of all time. I never, ever get tired of reading and re-reading his books.

I am new to this thread and have only begun reading on page one of this forum. I looked into the books by Laurie Cass, The Bookmobile Cat series and I can't wait to go to Barnes and Noble to download one of the series onto my new nook. (I do not have wifi in my house yet, but hope to get it). Besides, it gives me a chance to go to the bookstore. Thank you

for posting about these cat mysteries as I was not aware of them! I am still deciding which one to get first! 
You are MORE than welcome! If you like cozy mysteries, and mysteries featuring cats, go to Cozy Mystery List | A Guide to Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV and look by theme! She has a wonderful site that does for cozy mysteries what TCS does for cats!I am new to this thread and have only begun reading on page one of this forum.

I'm currently reading "Moonlight and Vines," another Charles de Lint. It is short stories, all set in the fictional and rather magical town of Newford.
I adore Newford. Do you know whether de Lint has written anything set there recently?

No, but I do know that he is working on one. The Kelledys will be in the next one, as yet untitled (I follow him on Goodreads), which will come out next year.
I'm still having trouble getting into the reading mode again. I'm currently reading "Salt Sugar Fat" by Michael Moss, but it's slow going and will expire before I finish. It's and interesting read, as it covers how the food industry gets consumers to buy their products.
I also read Hillary Clinton's "What Happened". I enjoyed reading about her personal life and career. Plus she included some details about the Russia interference that I didn't know. As a Canadian, though, I found some of the US political stuff dry and boring.
So what's everyone else reading?

I'm currently reading yet more Charles de Lint, namely, "The Little Country." I'm finding it slow going, but only because this is a book that is meant to be savored, not gulped down. It is a story within a story, and covers the magic in the ordinary. De Lint is a master of the Urban Fairy Tale, and this is de Lint at his best.

congrats on your Nook! I've had a Nook now for years and I've enjoyed it so much. I hope you get as much enjoyment from your Nook as I've had from mine.
Just finished reading Outlander #3 - Voyager (for oh, I don't know, the fourth time? Fifth time?) This is the current TV season on Starz, too, so I wanted to catch up on what was going on. We don't have a "spoiler" button here, so I don't want to say too much in case somebody else is either watching or is reading the series. I finished the book and immediately started reading Drums of Autumn, the fourth book. Again.

No, but it and its sequel, "Seven Wild Sisters" are on my "to read" list at Goodreads, and on my personal "to buy" list!
Right now I'm on "Jack of Kenrowan."
Oh, sorry to see there's a sequel, as the library doesn't have it, and I'd want to read both if I read the first one. I hope you enjoy them though.
I ran across a new cozy mystery series! There are only two books so far, but they are on my "MUST HAVE" list. It is the Cat Groomer Mystery series, and what could be more perfect for us! The two books out current are (in order), "The Persian Always Meows Twice" and "The Bengal Identity."
I am really liking BookBub, usually a couple of free books a week that I grab for later.
I'm reading Y is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton. I love the whole series, and it's sad that there is only one more to go. She has said she won't write anything else after Z.
I also read Origin by Dan Brown. It was sort of hokey - a drawn out treasure hunt with a fallacious ending. Don't think I'll read any more of his if he writes them.

This was a duplicate posting. Seems like it happens a lot to me.
Me too, except that I keep getting books faster than I can read them, and I'm a fast reader!

, thank you for your good wishes concerning my new nook. I too am enjoying mine so much! I thought I would like it but am finding I love it! Right now I am reading Letters Of A Woman Homesteader by Elinore Rupert. It is a collection of letters from Elinore to a former employer in Denver, telling of her new life in 1914 Wyoming. I have a lot of admiration for this woman as I read her letters.I am also beginning to read Lending A Paw, a cat crime mystery book that I heard about from

. It is a lot of fun, and I am now intrigued by the new cat groomer mysteries thanks to

! I have to restrain myself (it's not easy) to read only one or two books at a time! I am really enjoying reading about what everyone here likes to read!
Yeah, but once you have them, they will be there. Then all you need is power. I bought a 16,750 milliamp charger/backup for $28 on Amazon. It will fully recharge my Fire HD8 four times.Me too, except that I keep getting books faster than I can read them, and I'm a fast reader!
Is anybody a Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child fan? Did you know that a new Pendergast novel came out in January? I didn't know that! Has anybody read it? I'm going to see if our library has it; most of the Preston/Child e-books are audiobooks only at our library's website. I'll walk over to our library tomorrow at lunch. I love the Pendergast series. I like all their other books, too, the ones they write together and the ones they write separately.
The book is called City of Endless Night. Has anybody read it yet?
