Liss MacCrimmon Scottish Mysteries

I just finished the fourth book in this series. I just love a good mystery with a strong female lead in it. Plus, there's no swearing and sex in them. Always a bonus for me. I'm no prude, but I think a lot of explicit sex and language just ruins an otherwise good book.

I have Scottish blood in me and thought this would be a great series to read. I was right! They even mention the MacMillan clan tartan (part of my family!) in one of the books. In the last book, The Corpse Wore Tartan, my favorite author, Clive Cussler, was even mentioned!!!

The books in the series include: Kilt Dead, Scone Cold Dead, A Wee Christmas Homicide, and The Corpse Wore Tartan. They were written by Kaitlyn Dunnett. Really good books if you like a clean, fun mystery. I highly suggest checking them out at the library!

Numbers Update

So my goal is 75 books by the end of the year.

I am now at 52!!!

I really didn't think I was going to make it. Checking books out from the library has really helped my numbers though.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the library. I remember as a kid spending lots of time at the library during the summer months. I was always winning those reading contests they would hold! I would check out 8-10 books at a time and return a week later having read them all and filling my arms with more. It was a long walk from home, but my siblings and I really enjoyed going. When I was in my early teen years, I would check out poetry books and type up all my favorite poems on my Mom's typewriter (yes, an actual typewriter, not a computer!) I think I still have my file in one of my boxes in storage.

Anyway, I love the library. I love reading. I love that my kids love to read!

See ya later!

So much to catch up on!

Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I got on here. Sorry to all my followers for that.

Well, I have many books to tell you about. Here is a list of what I have read since July:
- Murder by the Book by Betsy Brannon Green
- Hitched by Carol Higgins Clark
- Popped by Carol Higgins Clark
- Jinxed by Carol Higgins Clark (yes, I'm catching up on all my C.H.C. books!)
- Laced by Carol Higgins Clark
- Naked Heat by Richard Castle
- Killer Keepsakes by Jane K. Cleland
- Silent Auction by Jane K. Cleland
- Murder by Design by Betsy Brannon Green
- Cursed by Carol Higgins Clark
- Death Walker by Aimee & David Thurlo
- Zapped by Carol Higgins Clark
- The Second Sun by Chris Stewart
- The Hourglass Door by Lisa Mangum
- The Golden Spiral by Lisa Mangum
- The Forgotten Locket by Lisa Mangum

So that is 16 more books. Plus I am reading Michael Vey: the Prisoner of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans right now. Next will by Sweethearts by Sara Zarr. And I'm headed to the library later today to pick out a few more.

I have really been enjoying the Carol Higgins Clark books. It's been fun to read how Regan Reilly and Jack (no relation) Reilly met and fell in love and married and had lots of adventures together! I have been a fan of Mary Higgins Clark (Carol's mother) for years and have read a few of the books the two wrote together, but I didn't read any of Carol's books until recently. She writes just as well as her mom does!

Richard Paul Evans has been one of my favorites for a long time. When I heard about his new Young Adult novel, I knew I was going to have to buy it! I even got a signed and numbered first edition.

I think that's going to be all the update for now. I might get into a little more detail later. We'll see how it goes.

Keep reading and support your local library!
