Peeps, you've done it again. You've come to my rescue and posted some questions for me to answer, which effectively, if not temporarily, gives me an out for my writers block (read charlie horse).
First up to the plate is one of my new found friends, Pam. I've become an avid reader of her site, and not just because she is a lover of dogs. Are those some cute pups or WHAT? Pam has grace and style, and a flair for writing that just draws a reader in. Her blog isn't limited to any type of theme. Instead, she seems to write about whatever crosses her path. I love the variety. And if I didn't love her because of her dogs, I'd totally marry her because she reads Nora Roberts, and has turned me on to a series of books I'd never even heard of before.
I'm game! :)I've never read a Sue Grafton book. How are they? Why do you like them?
I was introduced to Sue Grafton by my Mother-In-Law, who loved her books. This was probably about 5-6 years ago. I think I got all the way to "D", but am not sure. Then I didn't read her for a while.
When I was sick, the love of my life, picked me up a book so I would have something to read. The main character in these mysteries is Kinsey Millhone. I so want to meet this woman. I do have issues with her peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, but otherwise, she rocks. So I think I went from "D" to "Q." I will be trying to catch up from time to time, so that I can stay in sequence.
I love mysteries, and I love an author who stays with the same character.
You should try her. You don't have to start with the beginning of the alphabet. That's what is really nice.
Ok, that's the first of the questions that were asked of me by my esteemed readers, who ROCK!!!! I will answer the rest in the next few days, maybe even by tomorrow. But tonight? I need to fix the crock pot dinner for tomorrow, and do a couple of other things before the gang gets home.
Tonight is Dad's night with the girls, in which he takes them out and I get to sit on my fat ass bottom, and post things like answers to questions and get dinner prepared for the next night. Or sit on the couch and stare at the ceiling.
I want to get all of this done before they get home because folks, American Idol is on. And we three girls? Totally watch it from start to finish. Personally, I think they should hire us for a weekly commentary, because let me tell you. We LOVE American Idol.
Cool stuff.

That's it, I'm picking up my first Sue Grafton tomorrow! :)
Thanks for answering my question and for making my site sound so good... I almost want to go read it now...!

Hey Moogie, hope you enjoyed American Idol!
I just wanted to say - sorry about the dumb question yesterday - after I posted it, I realised you had a 'currently reading' box up on your blog. Duh! So I guess that's one less question you have to answer!

Congratulations on reading this series, I can highly recommend the entire series having picked it up myself somewhere in the middle and then starting from the begining you never quite know what is going to happen next sometimes.
I mean who knows what Kinsey, Henry, oh my god i've forgotten henry's brothers name who married (for better or worse) the cook at the diner near Kinsey. I've followed Kinsey all the way from A is for Alibi through F is for Fugative to M is for Malice and P is for Peril. I own the last 4 and I plan on getting the rest 1 at a time ;) to give me something to read when I have nothing to do when Im waiting for book 7 to come out or what ever ;).
All i will say is Kinsey owns 1 all purpose little black dress that does for ALL occations, being a PI is harder than it looks ;).
( I did have a different post but erm my machine rebeled against me posting it and leaving me no option but to reboot, thus losing the post :( )
