I should really go through my shelf on Goodreads and delete a load... ones that sounded good at the time which I'm never going to get to.<br /><br />Yes, I'm quite a way back on Louise Penny's books. I knew I was a couple of books behind but didn't realise it was *seven*. Gosh. I plan to catch up on them though.<br /><br />Have a good weekend!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-68973203083713572802017-03-15T06:19:18.304+00:002017-03-15T06:19:18.304+00:00Hi Cath,

Although as Louise is now up to book 13 in the series (you are still some way back on book 5), I get this nagging feeling that this is another author I shall have to admire from afar!!<br /><br />I do enjoy reading about a good crime / thriller though, so thanks for sharing :)<br /><br />Yvonne.Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-928499513889582522017-03-14T23:24:40.970+00:002017-03-14T23:24:40.970+00:00Pat: Yes, on balance, the Louise Penny is the bett...Pat: Yes, on balance, the Louise Penny is the better book. A lot more complicated in its plot. Sorry to hear about Cathy's friend and how he or she died but I hope you enjoy her visit anyway.<br /><br />Kay: I'm quite eager to read the book set in Scotland too. Yes, I saw on Goodreads that Cathy reads the author's books as well. <br /><br />LOL... I kind of gathered that about the Gamache books. Somehow The Brutal Telling felt like the beginning of something rather than a standalone book. I will certainly enjoy. <br /><br />Margaret: The Paige Shelton book is a cosy mystery, so yes, quirky. To be honest I'm not a huge cosy reader, I sort of occupy the middle ground with crime books, not mad about really gritty ones but read the odd one. I do think you would really like Louise Penny's books but understand completely about the tbr list.<br /><br />Penny: My pleasure. Well, not every author is for everyone. Speaking for myself I seem to be the only crime reader on the planet who doesn't care for the Maisie Dobbs books. LOL... it happens. <br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-40938429769489098172017-03-14T04:43:12.772+00:002017-03-14T04:43:12.772+00:00To Helvetica and Back sounds like one I would enjo...To Helvetica and Back sounds like one I would enjoy. On my list now, Cath, and I thank you. <br />I've never gotten into Louise Penny, even after we read the first one for our book group. I think it must have been a mood I was in and will make another attempt. <br />Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-53796291518265189122017-03-12T17:53:21.961+00:002017-03-12T17:53:21.961+00:00I haven't heard of Paige Shelton's books b...I haven't heard of Paige Shelton's books before, but they do sound interesting - and quirky. I have heard of Louise Penny but have never read any of her books. It really is a case of too many books and not enough time and can I really add these authors' books to my TBR list??? I shall have to live to be at least 100!

Especially the one set in Scotland. Cathy (Kittling) really speaks well of her and is a good friend. Ah, yes, you have so much more, more, more coming in Louise Penny's series. THE BRUTAL TELLING is kind of the beginning of a fantastic story arc. The next one is BURY YOUR DEAD and I loved that one. Well, I love all of them.

But the Louise Penny one so...these both sound good. But the Louise Penny one sounds better! lol I've never read her and come to think of it I don't think I've ever come across any of her books at the thrift stores... hmmm. I am reading rather slowly right now, I think it's because I am doing a bit of cleaning in the apartment and getting ready for a short visit from Cathy this week. She is coming down for her friends funeral, who passed the same way Thom did. I'm not sure I would believe this in a book but it's happened in real life! Anyway...looks like a 2 book month *sigh*...DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.com
