The answer is simple. Everything from the back of a cereal box to the TV Guide© from cover to cover. No really, I know what you're thinking… who reads the all the TV Guide© listings? Especially way back when - you know, the Olden Days.

Okay, not that far back, but lets say a couple (three) decades ago. When I was a teenager, the TV Guide© wasn't exactly the Reader's Digest©, with interesting tid-bit about famous and obscure actors. Nooooo, I'm talking about boring little snipits of what a show was going to be about. And every-so-often, they were {insert creapy drum music here} wrong. My favorite books included the Nancy Drew series, Nero Wolfe, Agatha Christie .... anybody sensing a theme here? Any book where the bad guy was captured in the end was my kind of book.

Okay, enough stories about my teenage years. What I'm reading these days is much more intesting, I'm sure (vbg).

Right now, I'm reading DEAD BEAT, the seventh book in the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. It's written in first person (which I love!), with an attitude that just won't quit. : Harry Dresden must save Chicago from black magic and necromancy -- but first, he must locate the Word of Kemmler. Just as soon as he figures out what that is. It's all in a day's work for the city's only professional wizard ... assuming he can live to see the end of the day.

Some authors on my must read list? Romantic Suspense giants like, Linda Howard, Kay Hooper, Iris Johansen, Allison Brennan, C.E. Murphy/Cate Dermody, Rachel Caine.

Wow, I could go on for paragraphs, but won't. Let's just say that these women are at the top of their game, and if they published their shopping list, I would probably read it.
