Books

I went to the book store yesterday.  I could live in book stores!!!  They didn't have the book I was looking for, so I decided to check out the "local authors" section.  If you have never done this I suggest you do.  You never know what you will find.  Once I "discovered" Jan Karon.  Now I own all the books in her "Mitford" series.  If you are looking for a nice, Christian read, then she is for you.  She doesn't slap you in the face with religion, they are just clean -- no cursing, no sex -- books.

This time I picked up 2 "local authors" (those who live in the great state of North Carolina).  Haven't read anything yet.  But one does look promising.  It's "Two Summers Too Hot".  Mostly I like reading horror, but every now and then I want something different.  The other book, well.....I'm not so sure about.  Went to the author's web site and well....ok, so he is full of himself and cursing appears to be his favorite pass time. Guess that doesn't mean he can't write though.   I'll mention his book if I find it entertaining enough.

The two above mentioned authors aren't my usual reads, but it is good to read a variety of things I think.  If you knew I loved Douglas Clegg, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, you would never believe I would read Jan Karon.  Why am I telling you this?  To get you to branch out in your reading.  Try something different.  You never know, you may like it.
