			<description><![CDATA[ <blockquote>
  I keep a lot of cozy mysteries to read between larger books
</blockquote>Kat,
<br>
If you like cozy mysteries, try the series by Louise Penny, starting with <em>Still Life</em>. We, as a group, have read all of her novels, and universally
liked them. Have a peek on Amazon....

and have the extended movie version with all the little movie promos and screen tests and such.

<br>
Jump into any of the other threads and pick up a conversation any old place. You&#39;ll never catch up so don&#39;t bother trying LOL. You can get a feeling
for what we&#39;ve read as a group and what we thought several ways: there&#39;s a link to our BB previous reads and you can look in our archives for past

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Everyone!
<br>
<br>
I havent read the Redwall series, but April is really enjoying them. She is trying to read them in order, but has skipped around a little. There are now 20
books in that series and she has read about 8. So she will be busy with them for a while. My mom is a huge Christie fan but I never read them. Last year I came
across Poirot&#39;s Christmas and have been hooked since. They are easy books I can read just to relax and can usually finish them in one sitting. I keep a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Kat! Are you ready for the winter which has started in Maine already? Lucky that you read since you may be stuck inside for large portions of the year
there! That&#39;s the nice thing about reading; you don&#39;t mind being snowed in and in fact, you look forward to it! What takes you to northern ME? I was
born and grew up in Bryn Mawr, PA, outside Philadelphia but that was a long, looong time ago! I share your enthusiasm for mysteries so we can compare notes! ]]></description>

(btw one of the places I&#39;ve lived is Bucks County PA--what part of the state are yuo leaving?)
<br>
<br>
I got hooked on Christie very early (liked Poirot a lot more than Miss Marple then) and worked my way through most of the British mystery writers. And
Americans writing as though they were Brits. Lots of us are mystery fans.

			<description><![CDATA[ Welcome Kat,
<br>
My kids and I like the Redwall books too, although I&#39;ll admit to only having read 1/2 the books in that series. It&#39;s nice and long. Agatha is comfort
food for me, I can get lost in her books easily.
<br>
Good luck with the move, such a stressful time it can be. I know you&#39;ll want to get settled before the heaviest snow falls. How many boxes of books are
moving? :)
<br>
<br>
Glad you found us. ]]></description>

read several genre&#39;s and tend to stay in the mystery, sci-fi, spy, genres. I also really like biographies of historical leaders.

I am married with two girls (14 and 9). My 14 year old is hooked on Brian Jacques&#39;s Redwall series at the moment. I own Thirteenth Tale and have been
wanting to read it, so I look forward to... ]]></description>

we&#39;re finished with Secret History and I&#39;m about to open a thread for Death With Interruptions, so I&#39;d guess you&#39;d be in time for that if
you&#39;d like to join in. Have you read any Saramago? Blindness maybe?

plus doing some artwork and traveling. I&#39;m looking for a place where the majority of the conversation is about books, hoping I found it. I still love my
Mac, but have begun keeping my book lists online, since I tend to keep my computers until they die, and I lose my lists. So, I have lists of books and reviews

read. I have also found that I like to talk with people about what I read and sometimes in todays society the readers are becoming few and far between. Thanks
again for the warm welcome ]]></description>
