I have maxed out all my favorite mystery novel writers and I am TRYING not to buy the new hardcover ones when they first come out, my secret vice.
I have just been the winner of an auction on ebay for 65 mystery paperbacks for $12. I may find a few new gems in there. |

Woo Hoo! Sixty-five mystery books for $12? GG, that's a treasure! Congrats! Where are you? Are you here? Will you have the books in TV? Should we all start a mystery book sharing club? Maybe there's already one here in TV? I could have Mr. Judy ship me some boxes of books the next time he's back in Utah.
Boomer, thanks for the tip on "The Help" Is it brand new? I put it on my list. And I try not to compare authors, but I'm rarely successful. Is The Help like the Secret Life of Bees? That's what first came to mind. BTW, and off topic just a teensy bit, the Villages library has an interesting system for their new books... They rent them from a book rental place. That's the way it was explained to me when I signed up for my library card. If a book is extremely popular THEN they'll buy it. Seems like a good idea, and a way to save money so they can buy even more books.

Judy, I don't know if "The Help" is like "The Secret Life of Bees" because I have not read that one yet. But I hear good things about it.
And about those mysteries and sites for finding mysteries, there is a link in Muncle's post above, here in this thread. The link is to Stop, You're Killing Me. I had not heard of that site before I read about it here. But then, just today, I heard about it again from a librarian who said that it is absolutely the best site ever for finding mysteries. Mystery lovers should not miss Munc's link in Post #11. Nevada Barr writes mysteries that take place in national parks. I have read only one of those, but they are pretty popular. Happy Reading to All! Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 08-07-2009 at 03:48 PM. |

Have a great weekend, everybody!
