Lida’s Reading List

I read a fairly wide array of books this month, some of which I devoured as quickly as I could, and others which were a bit more of a challenge to get into. Nonetheless, I appreciate the many styles of writing and prose, especially when they take me to new places; each one of those listed managed to do quite well.

 
 

Tina’s Reading List

My reading has been interspersed between finishing my latest manuscript, enjoying the holidays and taking my annual snow-bird drive to Florida.

 
 

Jen’s Reading List

I’ve been having so much fun reading and listening to a wide range of books this month! I have started noting which I listened to as audiobooks or read aloud with my kids. They’ve all been standouts and I recommend them all if they sound like they are up your alley.

Carol’s Reading List

I’ve been reading a lot of wartime mysteries this past month. (See my recommendations on this site under Lists.) I also gravitated back to books that take place in Paris, getting ready for an upcoming trip to my old stomping ground and beginning research for the next book in my series, Murder at the Moulin Rouge. The wartime books have fascinated and informed me. The books set in Paris feel like old friends.
