Favorite Mystery Books

Janet Evanovich has written thirty Stephanie Plum books! Evanovich writes with a witty tone that keeps the reader interested and on the edge of their seat. 



I love reading Joe Pickett mysteries. For a game warden, Joe finds himself in many deadly situations. C.J. Box keeps the reader in suspense until the last page.

Tidbits From My Special Topic Paper

  Do Celebrity Book Clubs Help or Hurt the Public Library?                 How popular are celebrity book club books in the public library? Jessica Hilburn a librarian in rural Pennsylvania had the same burning question. She has a small purchase budget for new materials. She has struggled between demand driven acquisition or more intellectual quality material. Should she spend her meager budget on celebrity book club books? She decided the best way to make this difficult decision is to survey her fellow librarians.

Only half paid any attention to popular culture and celebrity book clubs. The other half that did focus on celebrities, Reese Witherspoon was the clear winner in popularity.

  My neighbor Jolene hosts a monthly book club meeting for the ladies in our neighborhood. When I told her I needed to find a book club for this assignment she invited me to her Thursday night meeting. This month’s pick is Killing Floor by Lee Child. The book was first published in 1997.

The group likes to read tv series books, then watch the show and compare. Luckily, I read this book a long time ago, so I was already prepared for the meeting.                 A total of seven ladies showed up, myself included. Jolene had a lovely spread of crackers, cheese, vegetables, dips, and cookies for everyone to enjoy. Everyone got their plates and sat down. Jolene began the meeting by asking if everyone had finished the book. Everyone nodded in a...

  Reading this week’s articles, an author came to mind that affected me negatively. Her name was Sylvia Browne. Yes, that Sylvia Browne. The famous psychic. You see, when my father died in 2003, I was devasted. All I could think about is what was Heaven like? What is he doing up there? I wondered about the mythical aisle at my local Border’s bookstore and found the book Life on the Other Side by Browne. I devoured the book. Her writing brought me peace that my Father was living it up in Heaven. She even gave descriptions of what the buildings and gardens looked like there. From then on out, I was a devoted fan. I read every book that she published, including one where she gave predictions. She said that she would not die until she was well into her nineties. She died in 2013 at the age of seventy-seven. How could this world-renowned psychic get her own death wrong? This led me down an investigated path. Come to find out her ex-husband said she was a fraud. They planned to con peop...
