I'm Michele, and I live in the Los Angeles area. I read mostly mysteries and thrillers (thus the screen name!) The picture in my profile is Danny, who my husband and I adopted in March 2007 and said goodbye to in 2018. I like to read series of books, and my long term reading list includes reading entire series of: A is for Alibi featuring Kinsey Milhone (Sue Grafton), Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Patricia Cornwall), Dr. Alex Delaware (Jonathan Kellerman), Dr. Alex Cross (James Patterson) and Lincoln Rhyme (Jeffery Deaver).

I have enjoyed interacting with many Bookcrossers, but right now I am not trading or joining rings and rays due to life being extra exciting and challenging.

Series I am reading:

Mysteries featuring Dr. Kay Scarpetta Book 16 of 16
Alphabet Mysteries featuring Kinsey Milhone, A-T Book T
Mysteries featuring Dr. Alex Delaware Book 10 of 27
Sci-Fi/Young adult Artemis Fowl series book 5 of 7

Bartimaeus Trilogy, book 1 of 3
Violets Series Book 2 of 4
Fear Trilogy by Kay Hooper, book 1 of 3
