The pandemic and the stay-at-home orders have helped me get a jump on my Goodreads Challenge 2020. I have a TBR (To Be Read) shelf in my office, and there’s a stack of library books on my night stand. I’m going to try to be better about sharing what I’m reading and enjoying.

My mystery/thriller bookcase has turned into two in my new office, and the books are spilling over into the cubby shelves of my craft area. I have a feeling it won’t be long until it’s all books.

I like lots of genres, but I always gravitate to mysteries, suspense, and thrillers. I don’t always start at the beginning of a series, especially if I found a new author at the library, but if I like it, I try to go back and catch up on what I missed.

Here’s What I’ve Been Reading Lately

I love Ellen Byron/Maria DiRico. Her mysteries are funny, and the characters are quirky. I’m finishing her Cajun Country Mystery series. They are well worth it. These are great summer reads. I love the Louisiana flare and all of the bayou traditions. Her characters are fun, and the mysteries have lots of twists. I read Body on the Bayou, Mardi Gras Murders, and Fatal Cajun Festival recently.

Check out her new series as Maria DiRico. The Catering Hall Mystery series is set in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, NY. I look forward to reading more. (I love her grandmother and the cat.)

Recently we watched The Five on Netflix, and I hadn’t read much by Harlan Coben. This spring, I started his Myron Bolitar series. I’ve read Deal Breaker and Drop Shot. I like his edgy characters and the thrillers set in the world of a sports agent. The stories are action-packed, and I like the twists and turns that snake through every chapter. I’m watching The Stranger on Netflix and still trying to piece together all the different storylines.

What’s up Next

Right now, I’m reading Lori Rader-Day’s The Lucky One.
