The pre Mystery Read-a-thon meme:

What books do you want to read during this read-a-thon?

• The Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith
• Miracle at Speedy Motors by Alexander McCall Smith

How many books do you hope to finish?

Both of them! (they’re short!)

What (if any) breaks do you intend to take?

In between books.

Do you generally read lots of mysteries and thrillers or are the one of the many genres you like?

Not really, although I do like the genre.  The series above is pretty lightweight as far as mysteries go, but they’re classified as mysteries in my library, and I do love these books and the author.

What are some of your favorite authors?

Obviously, Alexander McCall Smith.  I’ve also read quite a bit of Michael Connelly and Thomas H. Cook in the past.

If you could make us all read one mystery or thriller for this read-a-thon, which one would it be and why?

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

Do you prefer series or stand alones?

Either —  I’ll read any good book!
