What are you reading?

I've been absent for a bit! Way to start the new blog page off with a bang.

So my question for you is...What are you reading now? What are you in the middle of, just starting, just finishing? What book is by your bedside, by the tub, in the car, in the purse?

I am currently reading Elizabeth Peters' The Mummy Case. The setting matches my current manuscript, so I've been trying to steep myself in the period. Loving it!

How about you?

Welcome to BLGR!


Welcome to Bell Ladies Good Reads! Here we'll discuss all kinds of books--your favorites, not-so-favorites, recent releases and old classics.

Just a bit about me- I write LDS fiction under the names Nancy Campbell Allen, (contemporary fiction/romantic suspense) and N.C. Allen, (historical fiction). I have a degree in Elementary Education, I'm married to a school counselor/surfer and have 3 children, ages 17, 14, and 5.

I think to begin, we should take an informal survey, of sorts. Introduce yourself and let's start with favorite genres. Comment here and let us all know what you like to read!

My favorite genres are:
romantic suspense
mystery
historical fiction

As far as nonfiction goes, I like:
psychology/self-help
biographies
