What are you reading or looking forward to reading this Spring?
Edith/Maddie: I’m reading my way through a crop of new books! I finished Rhys Bowen’s Above the Bay of Angels and am halfway through Lori Rader-Day’s The Lucky One. Today I’m traveling to Puerto Rico for a week off with my sons and am delighted to have The Lucky One, plus Annette Dashofy’s Under the Radar and Maria DiRico’s Here Comes the Body in my suitcase!
Barb: I’m reading my third book in a row for a blurb and after that I have a lot of reading to do for a short story contest. So it’s been awhile and it will be awhile until I get to pick my own book. However, there are several books I’m excited about for the spring, including Julia Spencer-Fleming’s Hid from Our Eyes, coming in April, and Paul Doiron’s One Last Lie, coming in June, so I’ll be busy and happy reading then.
Sherry: Hid from Our Eyes is at the top of my list too! I can not wait. But while I do I’m reading American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson and books by Tina Whittle, Ingrid Thoft, and Julie Mulhern.
Julie: I’ve just finished a biography of Dorothy Sayers that I really enjoyed. She’s so fascinating. I’m also looking forward to Julia Spencer-Fleming’s new book! Stamped From The Beginning by Ibram X Kendi is next up on my Audible queue, and I’ve got Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia at the top of my pile.
Readers: What on your nightstand these days? The top of your TBR pile?
Edith/Maddie, you made me do a little early morning happy dance! I confess, I’m a little jealous that my book will be better traveled than I am! Have a wonderful time with your boys!
Her trip sounds like fun!
I am almost finished reading Julie’s book Tilling the Truth and loving it! I need the Garden Squad to pay our garden some nightly visits. 😉
I love the Garden Squad books!
Yesterday I finished reading the new Joanna Schaffhausen book ALL THE BEST LIES and the Edith Maxwell short story “One Too Many” in the new Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine,
Next up is this month’s library mystery book club selection WHISKEY SOUR by J. A. Konrath. I’m also looking forward to reading MURDER IN THE BALCONY by Margaret Dumas. This week also sees the release of the new C.J. Box book LONG RANGE.
What great reads!
Thanks, Jay! I’ll be reading it on the EQMM podcast sometime today, too.
I just finished Agatha Christie’s AUTOBIOGRAPHY, and am now reading Julia Spencer Fleming’s OUT OF THE DEPTHS I CRY.
I’ve heard the autobiography is great and you can never go wrong with Julia!
The autobiography is wonderful. She writes about experiencing the same Impostor Syndrome feelings and “I can’t possibly write another book” thoughts so many of us do today.
I’ve already read MY FAIR LATTE by Vickie Fee which comes out tomorrow. It’s a ton of fun. I’m currently reading the anthology of Diane Vallere’s MERMAID MYSTERIES novellas. They are a lot of fun. Up next will be INTO THE FIRE, the newest Orphan X thriller from Gregg Hurwitz. By the end of the month, I’ll have read Maddie Day’s MURDER AT THE TAFFY SHOP.
I’m actually trying to slow down on accepting review requests. (I hear you on having your reading chosen for you, Barb.) However, the instant I have a couple weeks to chose my own books, I find so many I want to read that I have a hard time choosing between them all. A wonderful problem to have.
I hope you love TAFFY, Mark!
I’m not looking forward to any one book in particular. If it’s a cozy, I wanna read it!
I recently finished HERE COMES THE BODY by Maria DiRico and am now reading Kate Parker’s MURDER AT MARLOW HOUSE before LAVENDER BLUE MURDER by Laura Childs.
