The Book Club

tell us what you are reading this week.

how often do you read outside your comfort zone?

i'm reading "bed of roses" by nora roberts.

i'm one who usually keeps to what i like. although once in a great while i will read something in a genre that i don't favor.

Good morning. I will finish " The Perfect Christmas" by Debbie Macomber this morning. I'm sure it will be the first of many little Christmas stories I will read this season.

Next up for me is the new one by Danielle Steel.." Southern Lights".

I usually stick to my comfort zone which is romantic fiction, mystery and historical romance. I do occasionally read an autobiography and currently have "The Time of my Life" By the late Patrick Swayze and his wife to read after the Steel one. He starred in several of my favorite movies of all times and I admired his courage as he fought a brave battle with a horrible illness.

I finished Still Life by Louise Penny. I think that she may become one of my favorite go- to cozy mystery authors. I bought the next four in the series at the used bookstore yesterday. As much as I want to stay in Three Pines with Chief Inspector Gamache, I picked up Her Fearful Symmetry at the library yesterday, so it will be next. I'm only about 20 pages into it but I think that I'm going to like it.

I have a fairly eclectic comfort zone and I will try a science fiction every now and again but so far, I'm still not a fan or it or the vampire craze. I still have Twilight sitting on my TBR stack but I did try one of Charlaine Harris' vampire series a few months ago and didn't even finish it.

I just finished Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez this afternoon. It's humorous urban fantasy with an overweight werewolf and balding vampire named Duke and Earl taking on a zombie problem at a deserted diner.

I'm about to start C.E. Murphy's Urban Shaman.

I'd like to think I read pretty broadly, some of my year's challenges have taken me interesting places.
