Thank you difit for the April releases!

I just started reading The Hard Way by Lee Child.

There were several books I started before this that I quit reading because I found them boring.

I finished The Ivy Tree by Mary Stewart. I'm enjoying going back and re-reading her books, most to all of which I read 40-45 years ago as a teenager and young adult.

I'm also about to finish These Tangled Vines by Julianne Maclean. This was my first book by this author and I've enjoyed the story.

.

I Just picked up her Nine Coaches Waiting. I also read her books about 45 years ago. When I was about 15 and worked in a factory, a woman who I worked across from and who treated me to shopping bags of her already read books, turned me onto Mary Stewart, Taylor Caldwell and others. I remember her fondly and gratefully.

gladgirl, I read as much Taylor Caldwell as I could as a teen! My favorite was The Glory and the Lightning, which I still remember vividly some thirty years later. I even bought it on Kindle to read again (on sale for $2.99) since my paper copy is falling apart - it's so old, it doesn't even have a UPC code.

Just finished:
Petty: The Biography (Warren Zanes)
The Birchbark House (Birchbark House #1, Louise Erdrich) - a Little House on the Prairie-type book focused on a Native American family

Just started:
Sleeping Bear (Connor Sullivan)
The Good Sister (Sally Hepworth)

Reading Jane Austen. Just finished Persuasion and loved it. Now I'm reading Northanger Abbey.

I love the Mary Stewart suspense books and collected as many of the original paperbacks as I could find.

Currently reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik and thoroughly enjoying it. I didn't realize until I happened to glance at the acknowledgements that she is married to a man I used to work with, Charles Ardai, who started the Hard Case imprint for hardboiled crime fiction. He is also a terrific writer and a lovely person.

I finished Koontz's 2nd Jane Hawk book, The Whispering Room, yesterday. It was okay, but her exploits are pretty unbelievable. I started the next one I was due for in Jonathan Kellerman's Dr. Alex Delaware series, Museum of Desire.

I liked the Jane Hawk books. I agree that they can be a little over the top, but I found them entertaining and engaging reads. I often have to suspend disbelief with respect to characters and how they handle the situations they encounter.

I finished another T. Kingfisher book--The Twisted Ones. It was recommended by Rivercat (I think). I like her writing style.

I also just finished You Can Run by Rebecca Zanetti. It was a quick read. I did have to suspend a lot of disbelief for this one, but overall, I enjoyed it.

I so enjoyed reading Agatha Christie, that I decided to look at some other more classic mystery writers. I just started Hag's Nook by John Dickson Carr. He's noted as one of the great "locked room mystery" writers. I've never read anything by him, so this is new to me.

Oh it's awesome to see some of my favorite authors from years ago mentioned. Love the Mary Stewart books. I should get them out & reread them. And I also enjoyed reading John Dickson Carr. He also writes as Carter Dickson.
