Thank you both for the suggestions. I read all the time, but I rarely rememberthe authors' names; just that it was a good book.
As an elementary school teacher up to the eighth grade, I read young readers' and youth books. Anything that went on my borrowing shelf was read by me first. I had a massive in-class library.
Now that I am retired I enjoy reading whatever strikes my fancy. I like mysteries, suspence, and fantasy with some time-travel thrown in for good measure. I will try to write down the good ones as I read them in order to pass them along here.
