Winter evenings

It's cold out, dinner's over and Chris and I are settled in our chairs reading. I finished This Life I've Led about Babe Didrikson. My favorite part was her description of how she competed in a National Women's Track Meet as the whole track team. There were 8 events and she took first place in 5 of them and tied for first in a sixth. Her "team" won! What a great story, sounds a little like Pippi Longstocking, but it's true!
I'm now on to Hangman by Faye Kellerman (wife of psycho-mystery novelist Jonathan Kellerman). This book is the latest in a series about a couple living in Los Angelos. The husband is a police officer of the highly intelligent kind, and it doesn't hurt that he's a hunk. The wife is much younger, Orthodox Jewish and they are always in the middle of some murder that he is investigating. Of course, she helps him figure it out and provides a stable home-life for their blended family. The first book in this series was The Ritual Bath, published in 1986, so I have known these people for 24 years now. The quality of the writing is not always stellar, but the characters are likable and they grow and change over the years. Kind of fun to follow them.
What are you reading? I'd love to hear about some of your latest meanderings through the library of the world.
