The Count is 30

Finished an audio book today. I really do enjoy the audio books. I cannot imagine the drive without my books. So much more enjoyable to spend time in the car with a book.
This was a long story. Honeysuckle Summer by Sherryl Woods. I have read a few things by Sherryl Woods. Her books are similar to Debbie McComber. Just sweet stories.
Her devastating marriage behind her, Raylene Hammond is truly thankful for her best friends the Sweet Magnolias. Her friends took her in, shielding her from the world. She meets sheriff Carter Rollins, and suddenly Raylene's haven no longer feels quite so safe. The main story is about Raylene and Carter. There all also a few sub stories of some of their other friends. Cute loves stories. Raylene working with a counselor to get over agoraphobia. A teen with with an eating disorder. Two other couples working on their relationships. Story flows nice. Easy to follow, even in the car. There were no surprises but still an enjoyable story.
I have never read the series that starts with, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I have picked it up a few times, just never ended up buying.. A blog follower suggested I listen to the series on audio. I think I am going to try that next. I started a new book on my way home. That is the last book I have checked out. Next time I go to the library I will look for the series.
With only 30 books left to read, my goals seems more attainable. I am waiting for the new John Grisham book to be delivered. That will keep me busy this week-end. Next month's book club read is a short one. This just might happen!! Stay tuned.
