In my effort to read more fiction this year, one of my goals has been to catch up on the series of my favorite mystery writers. My mystery bookshelves can be deceiving.
On those shelves, I might have one or two books by a writer, but I have just under 300 ebooks, and the largest percentage of those are books from mystery series by prolific writers like Louise Penny, Donna Leon, Carolyn Haines, Alan Bradley, and Martin Walker. Also, there are some mystery series on my LGBT shelves (and some of those authors also have works included in my ebooks), and the full collection of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books are in a different room, plus she has other series I have in ebooks.
All of this means I don’t know what’s missing from the pandemic years, and I’m currently compiling a list by author of all their works, and whether I have them in hardcover, trade paperback, paperback, or ebooks, and if they’re in ebooks, whether they’re on my Kindle app, Kobo app, or Nook.
Just so you know what I’m doing with my non-writing time. This is why I don’t watch much TV and see so few movies these days. Though on the TV topic, Tom and I have watched almost the entire first season of “Ghosts” as our dinner entertainment, and while I thought it would just be a fun diversion, it’s actually a show we both really like, humorous and often touching. Glad to hear it’ll have a second season.
My Kindle died a long time ago, so I only read hardbacks and paperbacks nowadays.
Is Ghosts a US or British series? We have a sitcom here of that name.
A couple inherits an old home and wants to convert it to a bed and breakfast. It is full of ghosts, which they don’t know until the wife hits her head and can suddenly see them. This is a new experience for both the ghosts and the woman, and creates funny and often touching situations. It looks as if this might have been a BBC series first, so I believe you’re right!
