I've enjoyed it, but my taste in books is a little weird.

And yet you are an enthusiastic reader, which indicates you find things that capture your attention. What does that tell you?

[Merlin the Elder]

That I am weird? Hell's bells, girl! You already KNEW that!

"A Cast of Falcons" by Steve Burrows.  It's a birder murder mystery set in the Western Highlands of Scotland.  I just started it, so I'm reserving my opinion for later.

What it actually tells me is that no matter your taste, there is something somewhere that will appeal to it
I wouldn't say "weird." I'd go with "eclectic."

Looks like Steve Burrows has written at least 4 books, that are available on Amazon.
I may have to check out his mystery series.

So far; so good.  (But, he takes a while to intro all of his characters.)

My daughter passed on a series suggestion that she had gotten from someone, after my daughter had suggested the Jasper Fforde "Thursday Next" series. The suggestion was a British author named Jodi Taylor, and the series is "Chronicles of St. Mary's." The first book is "Just One Damned Thing After Another." Madeleine Maxwell is a time-traveling historian working for St. Mary's, which is a research facility. Their job is to witness historical events, and record them if possible, then come back and show everyone what really happened at Agincourt, or the Fall of Troy, etc. A lot of fun, with a cafeteria-style dollop of historical study I'm already in book 4, after only 2 weeks.
*Thursday Next is a "literatec;" the characters in books get a lot of downtime when the books aren't being read, and sometimes they get up to shenanigans and the literatecs get them back in line. Also a fun series, although not as lighthearted as St. Mary's.

"Washington" by Ron Chernow.  This is the third biography on the first president that I have read, and it is the BEST.  I highly recommend it.

Ah, but could it be a musical?

I just finished the St. Mary's series, stumbled across it at the library. I absolutely loved it! A lot of fun!

Trillium, I'm assuming you meant the St. Mary's books by Jodi Taylor...? There are a few short story collections for St. Mary's that are really good. You might like 2 of her other stories, The Nowhere Girl and the Somewhere Girl. You think it's going to follow a formula, and then she surprises you.

If so, Benedict Arnold's seeping leg wound would keep him out of all the choreography.

Back to the books...
Currently reading A Murdered Peace, by Candace Robb, who is fast becoming a favorite author. The latest in a series about Kate Clifford, set in 1400 York. Also, just picked up The Curse of Oak Island, by Randall Sullivan. A friend introduced me to the History channel show, and I ordered this for my library.

Currently reading sporadically (I've been REAL busy) a novel by another local... "Ginger Snaps," by Webb Hubbell. Anyone else ever read him?
