Probably not. They seem more interested in movies and video games... <br /><br />I am going to check into it, however. I'm feeling the need to branch out, reading-wise again. Too many paranormal stories, not enough others. <br /><br />Silly question time:<br /><br />Any suggestions? I'm looking for a good mystery, preferably by a new author...<br /><br />cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-3527817435048666532012-04-11T04:51:21.602-07:002012-04-11T04:51:21.602-07:00I love Louise Penny!

I have loved this series ever since it came out, so I am delighted that not only did you enjoy it enough to try another one, but that it's set in Canada too! yaaay! I think you will find if you go back to Still Life (the first one), you will see all that character growth and history unfold as well as each of the very different mysteries each book holds. Gamache is quite an extraordinary detective, isn't he?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-9465885538407694492012-04-10T19:05:00.305-07:002012-04-10T19:05:00.305-07:00Sounds like a series I need to add to my "Ser...Sounds like a series I need to add to my "Series Reading" page.

I am also a person who likes to read series books in order, and would love to read these from the beginning. I have heard a lot of good things about the author, and this series in particular. Fantastic review today.

I could go on and on about Louise Penny (and have at times). I, too, have always been a "read in order" person and am finding it difficult to keep up with that aim. However, I believe that this author's series much, much richer if you do read it in order. Her writing develops and then there are the characters. Yes, you have missed a lot by this point. It's not a number (6 more) that is not un-catch-up-able (a word?) at this point. LOL<br /><br />One more thing. Louise knows about addiction. She makes no bones about being a member of AA for many years herself. She usually talks about it on her blog once a year - on her sobriety anniverary. I think that fact alone makes her writing about this issue so authentic. I'm so excited about her new book to come in late August - A BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY. Can't wait!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-53207293032642358312012-04-10T04:06:46.841-07:002012-04-10T04:06:46.841-07:00I believe I read a couple of these prior to bloggi...I believe I read a couple of these prior to blogging. I can't remember! I too was a vigilant "read it all in order" person at one point, but there are just way too many series to keep up with. I saw this one floating around on audio. I'll have to see if I can get it!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
