Tom got me hooked on the J.P. Beaumont series written by J.A. Jance. She writes a couple of series, but I'm hooked on this one. It takes place in Seattle, which is always fun to read about. The others I am reading are by Charlaine Harris. She writes several series, and have read all of the Aurora Teagardens, and am woring on the Shakespeare series now. I have a hard time finding books that hold my interest and enjoy series much more than individual titles. It helps me if they have repeat characters. Of course, Janet Evanovich is my favorite series and can't stand the wait until a new one of hers comes out. Tracey and Shana also read these. Will try and geet the boys more interested in reading with some of mine and Tracey's favorite authors for kids. Can't beat "The Worst Christmas Pageant Even", or the "True Adventures of Charlotte Doyle". Glad you guys stayed cool in the pools out there.
