So, at the start of hurricane season in Florida, I'm facing lots of days like today - gray, damp, and dreary - for the next few months. While it's not so much fun to fight with umbrellas or deal with rain-delayed traffic, it is the right season to pick up a good book, curl up on the couch and get transported away from the rain.
For rainy days, I like mysteries or romantic comedies. Today, I picked up the e-book The Chesire Cat's Eye by Marcia Muller, one of my favorite mystery authors. It's one of her early books that I haven't read for many years and I wanted to revisit it. I haven't gotten far, but the murder of a former client has Muller's private eye, Sharon McCone, caught up in the world of Victorian home restoration and has initiated my curiosity about why the murder occurred. I don't remember the story, so I feel like I'm reading a brand new book.
What kinds of books appeal to you on a rainy day?
I read mostly Romance books, but I have read Dog Tags by David Rosenfelt, which I still have to finish. I wanted to read this one because I found it through a library that offers e-books in my area. It is a mystery book. Not my normal type of book I read, but it is a series. Not the first one, but somewhere in the middle. I may read the others. It is really good.
ReplyDeleteI do want to read Barefoot Season by Susan Mallery. I brought that as a e-books when it came out & I have had the time to read it.
I love to read on Rainy days. Cuddled in a warm blanket with a capuccino or a latte! I want to read on my porch, too, but we need something more comfortable for me to sit in before I do that!
Great blog!!
Oh, I wish I had a real porch. I have to settle for a big living room with lots of windows. I'll have to check out Dog Tags. It sounds interesting.
DeleteOh for a rainy day and a good book! On such days I love reading something light and meaningful, like the Number One Ladies' Detective Series by Alexander McCall Smith.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your new blog (I came here via the RAK group on Ravelry).
I haven't read the Number One Ladies' Detective series, but it's definitely on my to-be-read pile. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI have read the Number One Ladies Detective Series and I agree - it's fun reading. Have you read any of Debbie Macomber's books? If not, start with the Blossom Street series, it is about a knitting shop. I came here from Ravelry.
