Then What?"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Reading\"<\/a>I don’t know if I should admit this, but I am not reading a Cozy Mystery right now. Yes, it’s true, every once in a while I leave my favorite Cozies to read something different. It doesn’t happen all that often, but I have to say that it does happen.<\/p>\n

A while ago I mentioned a book that I was reading that is still very much in my mind. This is a book that I strongly recommend to everyone:\u00a0The Hiding Place<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by Corrie Ten Boom<\/strong>. It is a book that depicts the strength and positive outlook of a woman who endured much suffering. It is a book that may perhaps leave you feeling humbled. Terrific book!<\/p>\n

Another type of book that entices me away from my Cozies is true crime. Ann Rule<\/a><\/strong> is one of my favorite true crime authors. She does extensive research before writing her true crime books, and she makes them read like fiction. I find myself having to remind myself that these are true stories of terrible events that truly did happen.<\/p>\n

But right now I am reading a book that might surprise you. I am reading (and enjoying!) Nancy Zieman<\/strong>‘s Seams Unlikely<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, and I don’t sew! (Other than re-attaching buttons and fixing small seams that have come apart.)<\/p>\n

I have mentioned before how much I miss crafting shows like the Carol Duvall Show<\/strong><\/em>. I absolutely loved that show! (I guess it would be more accurate if I said I loved, loved, loved that show!<\/em>) Since I couldn’t find anything to take Carol’s place, I started watching Sewing with Nancy<\/strong><\/em>. While the show doesn’t feature crafting, and since I don’t sew, I will admit that the most interesting part of the show is the last ten-minute segment, when Nancy highlights a sewing project that benefits others. I love these segments. I usually don’t watch the ending credits, but for some reason, I did this week. And I’m glad I did. I saw that Nancy Zieman has written her autobiography, and I started reading it that very same day. Her spirit is as positive as the segment that she features in her show highlighting beneficial sewing projects from all around the world.<\/p>\n

This got me thinking: It might be interesting to us to see what other Cozy Mystery readers read when they aren’t reading a terrific Cozy… So, I ask you this:<\/p>\n

When you aren’t reading a Cozy Mystery, with what type of book are you most likely spending your time?<\/strong> Please post a comment to let us know. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
