Musing Mondays -- March 31, 2014
I am currently reading The Master Quilter by Jennifer Chiaverini. This is the sixth book in the Elm Creek Quilt Series and I am already unable to put it down. I absolutely love this series and I think part of it is the setting. It is set in the small college town of Waterford, Pennsylvania and, even though I have never visited Pennsylvania, I identify with it because part of my family came from Pennsylvania. The idea of a huge mansion, a historical home being turned into a quilt camp with lovely grounds is right up my alley. I also have a great admiration for the main character, Sylvia Compson. While we aren't even close in age, I admire her spirit and would like to be like her when I get to her age. So far this series has been really enjoyable and I don't think this particular book is going to be any different.
This last week I went on a bit of a splurge with book shopping. I have a love/hate relationship with my Nook but one day I decided to love it and set about exploring the Barnes and Noble site, concentrating on the Nook Book section. I picked up several books on their "under $5" section.
These books are:
Relatively Dead Sheila Connolly
Firefly Lane Kristin Hannah
The House Girl Tara Conklin
The Norfolk Mystery - Series #1 Ian Samson
Asylum Madeleine Roux
That should be enough to keep me going for a while -- not to mention the 75 unread books on my bookshelf. So, yeah, guess I better go get started! Have a Happy Monday!

HA! I have the same kind of relationship with my kindle! Hope you enjoy them!
I've actually heard of this book! It sounds good!
Valentina -- these books always have a little intrigue in them, some quilting references (makes you want to go buy fabric) and some history. They are fun books -- very relaxing.
bookmammalmusings -- I just can't figure out if I really like the e-readers but I bought them to lessen the load of physical books. However, it is WAY to easy to shop!
storytreasury -- if you haven't read any of them in the series you should start at the begining. There is a lot of conflict in it which keeps the reader interested and then they just build on each other.
