I'm re-reading the Mary Balogh "Bedwyn" series AGAIN. :-) I'm also
reading some older Marion Chesney series from the library and I'm
ready to start Don Quixote on CD. Blackstone Audio had a sale a few
weeks ago, with the proceeds going to the library system. Everything
was $5.00! They didn't have all of their selection available for sale
but enough that everyone seemed happy and it was nice of them to do
that for the library system. I bought Don Quixote (29 CDS) and
Beatrix Potter (3 CDs). My only problem is that, when you put a
cassette tape in and have to remove it if the other driver wants to
listen to something else, the tape starts up at the exact spot where
it was stopped. With a CD, there is a lot more playing around with
knobs or buttons to find the spot where you left off. Listening to it,
though, I should finally get through the ENTIRE STORY by the end of my
Harry & David season. :-)) I read and studied parts of it while in
college but never actually made it through the entire book.

Cape Disappointment by Earl Emerson. It features Thomas Black again
(which I prefer to his firefighter books). It's been okay - not as
good as some of the older ones and there's a bit too much conspiracy
theory. But it's nice to see him back!

I have several others on the shelf. I need to be doing more stitching
and less reading though.

I've done this with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. My first
exposure was with the "last" book -- A Breath of Snow and Ashes -- which
I bought in the airport in Prague in March or 2008. Finished that and
knew I had to read the whole series. Got the other five books on eBay
when we returned home and have read the whole series three (maybe four)
times since then. VBS -- they are HUGE books and a great read if you

Her latest book "An Echo in the Bone" is due out later this month. I am
just about finished with an oldie that I picked up in a book swap,
"Falcon for a Queen" By Catherine Gaskin. A good gothic novel with a
scene that haunted my because I couldn't remember where I read it. The
MC Kirsty is orphaned and returns to her grandfather in Scotland. Her
parents were missionaries in China. She goes to a fancy dress ball in a
formal Chinese gown with the plaid pinned at her shoulder. Dark secrets
and a good description of whiskey making and the malting process.

I've read something similar to - almost sounds like a Victoria Holt plot....
