Lots of Charlaine Harri on your list. She's one of my favorites. I don't read as much as I used to. I depend on my audiobooks much more so I can knit/spin at the same time. At the moment, I'm listening to one of the Eve Dallas In Death series and loving it. She kicks serious ass.

Impressive list!!! Good for you!

Are there 48 hours instead of a mere 24 hours in your day, Susan? Or do you simply use each hour twice?

That's quite a list, and when you add it to all of your other activities, you really are a miracle woman.

PS: I voted for your quilt which I actually liked better than the leading one.

Did you enjoy raisins and almonds..I loved it and grabbed all the others in the series.......I very much enjoy books in series.

Just read my first Charlaine Harris, and want to read the rest!
Given your list, it looks like our tastes are similar enough that I should just print this off and head for the library!
(I'll give you Lois McMaster Bujold - both her science fiction series and fantasy series are wonderful! But skip the "Sharing Knife" series - waste of time...)
