I read the Circle series by Ted Dekker. Kinda sick. It's a Christian but some of the the characters are evil and go by different names. I gave it to my nephew for Xmas. I looked up the author. He grew up in a forest with cannibals! His parents were missionaries in Indonesia

I am reading The Babysitter series right now. It's suspence. Did i spell suspence correctly? It doesn't look right. Also, a book by an author from the Netherlands that I really like. I keep a few books going at once.

I just finished the latest Sofie Kelly: Paws to Remember. This is the series with the magical mystery cats, Hercules and Owen. The author also writes as Sofie Ryan, and I’m reading Undercover Kitty, one of the second chance cat mysteries.

I'm reading "Dutch Girl," about Audrey Hepburn, mostly during the years surrounding WW2 I think. My SIL gave it to me for Christmas.

I just reread Black Knight by Elizabeth Johns while I wait for another book to be released. I’ve got a couple paperbacks waiting but I wanted to lounge with my kindle.

My DH and DD are both Ted Dekker fans. DD has read all his middle reader books (most co-authored with his daughters). It’s not my normal genre but I was considering trying the middle reader ones for something different.

I read The Sinner and did not like it but the circle series and THR3E I enjoyed. THR3E is a must read if they havent

My bookshelves never got reorganized after having our floors done but I remember that title. I see Red, Green & White; whatever series that is. Showdown, House, Skin, Adam. I’m not sure what else. I see a few by Frank Peretti and Jenkins.

Oh i do see the series with Sinner. Its amusing these titles are mixed with everything from a Baby Names book (why do I still have this?!) and everything else from nonfiction, Bob Barker autobiography, comic books to a few textbooks. :paperbag:

I know Frank Peretti has a middle readers series but I’m not sure she’ll want it.

That's the circle series: your missing the color black. Lucky for me,I don't remember what I read so I will read it again. Same with TV series

I picked up The Book of Lost Friends from the library the other day, just because the title sounded interesting. It's fiction based on a little known part of U.S. history after the Civil War. I don't currently belong to a book club, but I think this would be a good book for discussion, especially for someone looking for a Black History Month theme.

The Housemaid is on its way from Amazon. :clap:I am so tired of the book I am currently reading. I think Frieda McFadden will be an interesting change.

:read:🤓👍I picked up a Mag/Book at the checkout at my local supermarket and am finding myself on every page as I read. It is quite pricey $14.95 but worth every page...... great essays, great photos. Great reading while waiting for an appointment, or getting a pedi, or taking public transportation!

sounds good
It is a good mag/book , but those who have had cats for a while most likely are familiar with the info and would be bored. I have had the cat mom experience for just 2 years now and those were mostly concentrated on learning about my 1st cat's ckd. Now I am trying to expand my knowledge of cats and this has helped me so much as I enjoy my 14 month old tabby and her 6 month old kitten..
