My preference is to read book series in order and these books, while they can be read alone, really do occur in sequence. So, one day not too long ago I was standing at Half Price Books and looking at the clearance rack when I spotted about ten of the alphabet books for a dollar a piece. I bought all of them and started reading my "series". I don't have the whole alphabet, obviously. But I started with "A" and am up to "L" and have a few more to go - then will have to go back and fill in with the ones I missed. I am sure I will be able to get the rest for a buck a piece if I keep my eyes peeled. It's pretty cheap and enjoyable entertainment.
I pretty much take a book with me whenever I head out the door - never know when I will have time to read just a page or two.

I need to poke my nose in a book every night. I just finished The Road to Grace by Richard Paul Evans. Wonderful story and the third in his "walk" series. It only took me 2 nights to read. I just started "Cutting for Stone" and have an ebook on my Kindle that I need to finish in two weeks before it goes back to the library. Always lots of good reads around. I enjoyed the Grafton books but haven't read any since "T".
I've not read any of her series, but they sound great.....I'll look for them! I just finished Stephen King's 'Under the Dome' and passed it along to our cousin. I thought it was great, moves right along, so was a relatively fast read (although it was quite long). I just picked up at the thrift store a Janet Evanovich book (she uses numbers in her titles for the series), and thought I was getting the 1st in the series, but it's #10.....there was a sticker over the title, and I thought it read 'the big ones' but it's 'Ten big ones'. Oh well....I guess I'll have to go and find the first nine! lol
I first picked up A is for Alibi at a beach house rental, and have read them all in order. Mostly I wait for them to come out in paperback and I've picked up some in thrift stores too. Kinsey is a terrific fiesty woman and the story is based in my part of the world so that's an extra attraction too!
I am re-reading The Thorn Birds. What a great book of characters and history of NZ and AU, but so many sad parts!
