Find a series to get excited about!Winter is coming! Check out some book reviews and recommendations on your favourite reading sites and apps and dig into a series. There’s comfort in settling into a group of characters, familiar settings with changing plots and new conflicts. And with a series, you won’t run out of books anytime soon! I highly recommend Robert Galbraith’s CB Strike series (it’s actually JK Rowling), The No. 1 Ladies Detective series, Kate Mortons’ books, Patrick Taylor’s Country Doctor, the James Patterson Murder Club, Preston & Child, or the Ken Follett trilogies…just to name a few! |
