Challenge Wrap-Up: 1st in a Series 2011

Time to start wrapping up some reading challenges for the year. For the 1st in a Series Challenge, hosted by Katy at A Few More Pages, I signed up at the "Series Novice" level, and read three books:

Along Came a Spider (first in the Alex Cross mystery series), by James Patterson
The Killings at Badger's Drift (first in the Chief Inspector Barnaby mystery series), by Caroline Graham
Quiet as a Nun (first in the Jemima Shore mystery series), by Antonia Fraser

Enjoyed all three of these. I've read later books in the series by Fraser and Graham, but the first Alex Cross novel was a new experience. Hope to read more books in all three series.

Thanks so much to Katy for hosting this one. Haven't signed up yet for the 2012 Challenge, but I'm definitely thinking about it.

I like the idea of reading the first in a series.

And I really loved Along Came a Spider...both the book and the movie.

Congrats!

Dear JLS Hall:

Will you please consider reviewing my new book of fiction UGLY TO START WITH - interlinked stories about childhold published by WVU Press?

If you write me back at johnmcummings@aol.com, I'll send you more information. My publisher can also send you a bound copy.

I would be very grateful.

Kindly,

John Michael Cummings

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
