Reading in Placitas - Mary's Picks

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson – If you have not ready this amazing story, you do not have a real picture of the Middle East.  The sequel, Stones into Schools is also wonderful. 

Mysteries you may have missed. These authors are great!

Thomas Perry: fast action, high suspense, delightful

Sue Henry: set in an RV for her tales set in competitive dog sled racing

Dana Stabenow: An Alaskan native and ex-police officer, she helps to keep the reservation safe

General Fiction: Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier is historical fiction set at a Victorian sea resort.  It has great characters and is filled with love, friendship and fossils.

Non-Fiction: Author Mary Pipher in Seeking Peace identifies herself as the worst Buddhist in the world and takes the reader on a journey to perspectives for which Pain as well as Beauty is necessary.
