Love, love, love the Meg Lanslow mystery series. Quirky characters, fun mysteries. I love her eccentric (read crazy) southern family! Laughed out loud while reading this book.

Classic British mystery with Harriet Vane on the case. Plot twists that keeps you guessing.

Part of a mystery series set in New Orleans, LA and the surrounding area. The main character owns a scrapbook store in the French Quarter and solves mysteries. Pretty good, easy read that kept me interested until the very end.

I read through this book in two days time. It was so well written that I felt like I would have loved to live in London then, be friends with Charlotte, Penelope, Harry and Inigo and have tea with Aunt Clare. At some times I felt that Penelope was acting so silly but then when I looked back at myself at 17 or 18 and the crushes I had I realized why I cared so much for her and what happened to her family and friends. I cared so much because she was SUCH a real character.

A really artsy / collage-y way to scrapbook.

The first in the series of the Skip Langdon novels. Pretty good, kind of gritty and realistic.

It took me several tries, but was finally able to get into it. Never would have guessed the ending in a million years.

A nice, light book that was easy to read and very enjoyable. The characters felt real with very few of those traits that make some characters annoying and formulaic. Even the "villian" seemed like a person you could care for given the right circumstances.
