One of the catalogues that I receive regularly has a shirt with the quotation- So Many Books so little time and it reflects how I feel at times. I am sure that one day I will be found surrounded with a mound of books that I was hoping to read. There is always another wonderful book to discover. Recently, I have been reading a great number of mysteries. I have several series that I follow- Rita Mae Brown's series that features two cats, a corgi and horses as well as their human companions in Virginia- the next in the series is coming out this month, I will be getting that. I have followed Sue Grafton from A is for Alibi to T is for Treason. I will be sorry when she finally reaches Z and the series is finished. Alexander McCall Smith's series about the Ladies Detective Agency which takes place in Botswana is a series that deals with life at a much slower pace, days begin with bush tea and a chat. Knitting series have also been added to the mix. I enjoy Maggie Sefton's series of Deadly Yarns which are based on a couple yarn stores in Colorado and after reading the mysteries I would love to visit Colorado. Monica Ferris' Crewel World series takes place in Minnesota and her store is a yarn store catering to all of us who love to work with yarn in all forms. I have read the James Patterson series the Women's Murder Club which is very violent compared to all the other mentioned but I love San Francisco and read them to read about the landmarks that I recognize. I don't think that I will ever be able to keep up with all these books and the others that I want to read but it is fun trying.
