Another finish

I have been reading The Art Forger for my book group. I really enjoyed it although it was a bit slow in the beginning. Interesting twist regarding the art heist at the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston. Makes me want to visit the museum now. I picked up a couple of quick reads last night while at the library- Coffee house mysteries. I get hooked on these type of series….easy read and fun.

I just checked out the website for the author Cleo Coyle- a fun site!

Overflowing with magazines

My husband and I recently returned from a few weeks in Maui. These magazines have been accumulating since the beginning of December. For Christmas last year (2013) we took our two children away for the holiday so I have really gotten behind on my magazine reading. I don't subscribe to many magazines but they sure do build up if you don't read them on a regular basis.

I missed the February book club but understand that it was small group (about eight which seems to be a nice size for good discussion) and there was a quite a bit of discussion. I had requested the next book, The Art Forger, from my library and in two days I received it! Love our new service. And love being able to search the catalog and request online. This is the second book that I will have read with the setting in Boston and the story centering around the art heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. While away I read several books (naturally)but not as many as I had hoped mainly due to the length of The Goldfinch. I was disappointed in it- lots of hype- and while I am glad I read it I thought there was too much background and story not having anything to do with the picture. The story supposedly centers around the art however it really is about the young man who took it from the museum and I think it is the last 200 pages or so that the story really picks up. I also decided to update my lists on Goodreads. I am in pretty good shape for the 52 week/52 book challenge this year. According to my lists from 2013 I read lots more than 52 books but I guess somehow when entering on the Goodreads site not all were recorded - or something- because Goodreads recorded only 49 books for the year. Hmmmm. Oh well.
