Aiming one day to read all of Raymond E. Feist's work!"
Fantastic - I just reread the first four in the series on my way through all 30! (Only made it 4 in last time I tried, but they were really good and still are!)

To follow up on this I just finished Tick Tock and I really did enjoy it. Yeah the story is ridiculous and the ending was really silly but what I enjoyed the most about it was the humorous conversations between the characters, it reminded me a lot of the Odd Thomas series.
Now onto:

The funny thing about this book was that I didn't get the idea until part way through that this was more silly than horrifying - from that point on I just rolled with it! The coversations between the characters was great (if witty dialogue and humorous banter is what you are looking for).

Right now I am in middle of reading Sinister by Lisa Jackson So far its very good book i am really into it.
After this I be starting on
The Sixes by Kate White
Kiss Me While I Sleep by Linda Howard
Daddy's Gone A Hunting by Mary Higgins Clark

If I didn't get the heads up about the book before hand I probably wouldn't have realized it either until far into the book.


An entertaining read. May I suggest Bart Ehrman's book "Truth and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code". I'm a history buff and a fiction writing major so it was cool to get a great story, but also keep the truth apart from the fiction. Enjoy!









I just started reading "audible" on my kindle using the immersion reading. I have really enjoyed it, and get through more books by listening to them on my commute to work.



Never heard of it, but I admit to being suspicious of books written by two authors. I quit James Patterson years ago for that reason. At least he acknowledges his ghosts, but the whole thing has the smack of "sleaze" attached. The Staub/King venture bothered me too.

I use iTunes on my iPod with books downloaded via override from my public library. Lots of audio books there.

Hey Paula - I tried to imagine how King and Straub worked together and could never figure it out. Couldn't decide who did what. Then I started writing books with a partner. We've written 3 books together and I know that it CAN work. We talk about the story and the events that unfold then I go away and do all the writing. My partner isn't a writer, he's a storyteller, so it's not like I write a few and he does a few. Also our characters are Hispanic, which I am not, so he offers the cultural perspective.

Loved the Pendergrast series at least till book 7 though it has become very average as of late. Hope you enjoy the book.

I guess I will be reading more Jules Verne in the future ;)
Now reading The Wonders of Life by Professor Brian Cox
