I don't think I've ever participated in the "Tuesday 4 meme" but today's questions were all about books and being a book nerd, I decided to do this post while waiting for my kitchen floor to dry.
To play along, head to this blog.
1. Would you tell us about a book you particularly enjoyed?
I have enjoyed most books I've read. How about one from 2025: I thoroughly enjoyed Heartwood. You'll have to click on the title to read why I liked it.
2. Do you have a favorite book series? How about a favorite series when you were a kid?
I have several fave series I read: The Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. I've read all of them in order and am currently on her 27th one that came out in 2022. Not sure how I missed it that year. There are two more that have since been written and the next one is on my nightstand from the library. I borrow books from the library.
I also like the Mike Bowditch Game Warden series (set in Maine) by Paul Doiron. I have read the first 12k I believe.
I love the Alex Cross series and have read all of those in order except the last one published. The author is James Patterson.
And I've completed the entire Harry Potter series as well as The Hunger Games.
As a child I collected all the Happy Hollister books, Trixie Beldon books (oldest daughter now owns them), several Nancy Drew books (youngest girl has those) and I loved the Meg Mystery series (Oldest girl has them) and the Heidi books which are in my basement. As a teen I adored the Chronicles of Narnia.
3. Is there a book that you just did not like or one in which you just could get interested?
I could NOT get into Wuthering Heights in high school and I tried reading Gone Girl and couldn't get into it so returned it to the library, but then when the movie came out on Netflix, I enjoyed it. Go figure.
4. Is there an author whose books you don't want to miss or one whose books you avoid?
The authors I tend to avoid is Diane Chamberlain and Suzanne Collins. Their books are all the same in my opinion. The authors I gravitate towards are Lisa Wingate, Paul Dorion, Margaret Atwood, Patricia Cornwell, Camilla Lackberg, James Patterson (just his Alex Cross books and sometimes his Murder Club novels), Tracey Chevalier, Tatiana de Rosnay (such GOOD historical fiction!!) Joy Fielding...among others.....
That's it for the Tuesday meme!
Happy Reading!

Hi Faith, isn't it nice when we can escape into a whole new world and see the movie in our mind? My dad liked reading Patterson. Have a great rest of the week!
Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't get on with Wuthering Heights. I've started it twice! I'd go with a lot of your choices but I have read several by Diane Chamberlain and enjoyed them but not tried Susanne Collins. I also try and use my library as much as possible.
