Harry Potter

OK...I have officially started reading Harry Potter! I know, I know! About time! I just have this part of me that wants to rebel and NOT read the "very popular" books. LOL I still have not read the Left Behind series. Another reason I never read the Harry Potter books was because of all the controversy. Is it "evil"? Is it "OK" to read? I have been thinking how do I know if I don't read it for myself? When reading a secular book, there will always be things I don't agree with. I find that even with Christian books. So as I do with all books, I will read it, enjoy it and think through the story. We'll see~

Miss Fortune

Reading a new series set back in the 1940's. Miss Fortune is a woman private detective who came from a wealthy and known family. She is always at odds with her mother who seems to have one goal for her daughter... getting married. She does meets a man at one of her mother's dinners and finds out they are working on the same case. They team up to try and solve the case.

There is a back story for Miss Fortune that they slowly reveal throughout the book and that adds a whole other dimention to the book.

I really enjoyed reading it. I started book two, Miss Match, and like it so far...
