I think her earlier ones were better. I'm not "tired" of the series yet. I was told by my mother in law the next book is where it starts getting irritating because of the way they headed the characters.

This book is pretty good so far!

Reading by James Patterson.

Just Finished Chelsea Cain currently reading also finished last week.

Jannene,

I must say that her first books I like better. But even the recent one's a not bad. Try to read them in chronologicall order, so you follow the growing-up of Lucy ecc..ec...

Aiesha,

As I say, maybe her books have changed a bit in the years, but I am not capable to write that way. So she still is a great writer !!!

Just finished which was AMAZING! and finished which wasnt bad either.

Just finished and loved it - wrote a review - it's a terrific read.

Just finished The Chase by Janet Evanovich, which was surprisingly great. Today I will be starting Killer by Jonathan Kellerman. I voted for it for the upcoming read for May but I didn't want to wait to see if it was selected. If it is, I'll weigh in on the discussion.

I've read and reviewed S.E.C.R.E.T. Revealed - L. Marie Adeline

I've been enjoying The House of Silk: A Sherlock Holmes Novel by Horowitz, Anthony and Endangered Species by Nevada Barr very much and am about to start Disordered Minds by Minette Walters. Looking forward to seeing what this one is like.

I read The House of Silka while back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Horowitz seemed to really capture the mood of the classic Sherlock Holmes story.

I listened to it on audio. It was read by Drek Jacobi. Excellent.

Derek Jacobi would be great, I'm sure.

Anyone reading An Officer and a Spy from Robert Harris, about the French intelligence officer who exposed the true-life Dreyfus scandal? I'm enjoying it. I'm also relearning all I'd read about it in history courses, but in a much more entertaining way.

Just got done reading Fear Nothing by Lisa Gardner I really enjoy it IMO this is the best book she writen in years!

Now I am starting on
by Liane Moriarty
by Janet Evanovich

Just finishedThe Frozen Dead, by Bernard Minier. Very good book, translated from French. It has an asylum in the mountains, three very strange deaths, and the race to find a killer -- what else do you need?

I am reading Buried Threads

I had my hand on that book in the bookstore & picked up something else instead. But if I start seeing really good reviews, I'll probably pick it up.

Reading by S. J Bolton (Lacey Flint #2).

Currently reading Midnight Sun

Finally getting into it, I seem to read and read and not advance!

I'm starting The Kill Room by Jeffery Deaver

I had this on hold and just this from the library yesterday for my local book club read. I didn't realize it was such a thick book!

Well worth it, Barbara.

Hello!
I have just finished "The Winter People" by Jennifer McMahon. It was really a "page turner"! I normally read "Thrillers" and "Historical Mysteries" along with some "Fiction" and "Cozy Mysteries". I never read "Sci Fi" or books of vampires and ghosts, so this book was a stretch for me! I did enjoy it and even with the author jumping thru the 19th century and several generations in time I followed the storyline. The ending was a bit of a shock, a bit more gruesome than I prefer but still a good book overall. I would rate it as a #4.
Now... how to decide what to read next? :>)

I've enjoyed a number of Harris' other books so I have high hopes for this one. I'll be interested in your thoughts when you are finished.

I'm currently reading and enjoying Endangered Species by Nevada Barr and will start the next in the Anna Pigeon series when I finish. That one is Blind Descent. I've also just started Disordered Minds by Minette Walters and The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle.

I can say I am enjoying the Goldfinch a great deal.

when I finish I will start that next.

Just finished Galveston, by Nic Pizzolatto. Anyone in the US want my copy?

Has anyone read Dangerous Dream or/and Dangerous Creatures - Kami Garcia? If so, would you recommend reading Beautiful Creatures before or don't matter?

If you've read and loved Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl, then you are going to love Dangerous Dream - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl and then you have to read Dangerous Creatures - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl.

Thanks for the tip, Nancy. Just found this is from the True Detective guy. Also found out it is $2.99 on Kindle.

Well, I'm not going to keep my paperback copy, so if anyone (in the US) wants it, totally free with postage paid by me, it's yours. I'll hold on to it today and tomorrow, and then the offer disappears.

Um, I'm not gonna pass up such a generous offer, if it hasn't already been snatched up by someone else. I'll send you a message, Nancy.

Just acquired it. I like RH. I've read all his books so it was great to find something new by him. It's on my (ever growing) TBR list.

Just finished this one.

Just started reading . I thought i had read all Highsmith's novels, only to find this one & possibly another i wasn't aware of. Enjoying.

Have just finished reading by Simon Kernick. Enjoyed.
My review is here:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm reading by Marja McGraw. Excellent mystery; well paced, with interesting characters.

The story has two time lines running through it (1898 and present day). The author has the timing done perfectly, and I find myself reading eagerly.

How Do you get the link and book cover to appear in your posts? anyone please?

Maia wrote: "How Do you get the link and book cover to appear in your posts? anyone please?"

Maya, look at the top of the comment box--see the "add book/author" link? Click that and then type the book title. If there are multiple books with the same title, you might need to scroll through the choices. When you find the title you want, you can choose "link" or "cover" (there are buttons at the bottom of the pop-up screen; you might have to scroll down to see them).

Give it a try!

Maia wrote: How Do you get the link and book cover to appear in your posts?

Above the comment box where you type your post is "add book/author". Go there and enter either the title or author name and if there is more than one, click on the one you want. You can click between book and author, and also if you want it to show up just as a link or a picture of the cover. Both will take you to the book in question.

I don't have anything at the top of the comment box! maybe because I am using the android app?
thanks for your comments guys, I will try on pc and see of it makes a difference.

Maia wrote: "How Do you get the link and book cover to appear in your posts? anyone please?"

Hi Maia. Just above & to the right of the 'comments' box you will see 'add book/author' then (some html is ok). Simply click on the former, enter the name of the book & hey presto!

Steve wrote: "Anyone reading An Officer and a Spy from Robert Harris..."

I am a Harris fan, too, and just downloaded a sample. Next up on my list is: . I am also a big fan of Olen Steinhauer.

Maia wrote: "How Do you get the link and book cover to appear in your posts? anyone please?"

Okay. At the top of the comment box you will see this: "add book/author" -- which is a hot link. Just click on that and follow your nose. The book cover/link will be placed into your comment at the exact point where you click on "add book/author".

Next book on my list is by Ken Bruen. Haven't read any of Bruen's books before but this is the first in his 'Jack Taylor' Series & looks promising.
