A Good Thriller discussion

Since I have been trying to not buy any books, I was quite surprised to see that I have 40 new books. There have been so many great deals this month that I couldn't help myself. A lot of the books were free or greatly reduced in price. A few are
I Am Pilgrim
My Sister's Grave
All Good Deeds
See Them Run
Guardians of the Night
Burning Man
The Skull Mantra
Sleepy Hollow: Rise Headless and Ride
SLEEPY HOLLOW: Bridge of Bones
One, Two ... He Is Coming For You
Zero Defect

I have been book sales shopping on Amazon!!

Bought the following:-

The Toy Taker I have the first two which I haven't read yet but still went ahead and purchased!

Child 44
Heard really good things about this a while ago, not my usual kind of thing but one that got me intrigued.

The Farm
Was on special offer!

I Am Pilgrim On a few top ten lists and another one I've heard a lot about.

Dark Tides
Got the first two which I um haven't read yet!!

Dark Tide
Read Into The Darkest Corner but have heard this one isn't nearly as good :\

Just ordered my first ..... Kindle Fire.. so I guess I will add to my 800 odd books."

Sean, every Kindle Fire needs Fuel, and I can offer you some free Fuel for your Fire. Unravel the pun and take a risk :~)

Child 44 is brilliant, and the first of three books with the same character.

I am Pilgrim is highly recommended.

The Farm not quite so good reports.

Pretty much what I've heard too, Sean. Hopefully some interesting reading there. Not my usual stuff but it's good to branch out!

Great choice Janet, you'll love the miniaturist.

Picked this up from the library today, so strictly speaking, not bought: . I was only returning books, but couldn't resist. Been wanting to read this for ages.

Now, did Santa bring me extra reading time????? NO???? Oh Poot! (to borrow Twin's favorite expression!)

Downloaded this one in the early hours!!

One of the best. The others I rate very highly are L.A.Requiem, Last Detective, and Watchmam

I bought this at the bookfair last month as it has been recommended to me by several people. But I'm a bit reluctant to read it as I have not read the rest of the series yet. Have you read rest of the books in the series?

Huma,
You will learn.......if you don't read books in order........"Christine, the Book Fairy" will descend upon you and smack your fingers with a ruler!!!!! I've read almost all Crais' books and they are past fabulous. Even the bad ones are awesome!

It's kind of crazy......but there are books about Elvis Cole, books about Joe Pike and books that showcase Joe and Elvis. Then there are the stand alone books. I printed out the list, in the order they were published and I have tried to stick to that list.
Many times, things that happened in previous books, are mentioned.........so if you read them in order, you keep your facts straight.
Every single book is well worth the money! You are in for a RIDE, my friend!!!!!

I just ordered the books and . I am ordering for my tablet latter this evening.

Just picked up; ; ; ; .

I have books by Collins & Reed Farrel Coleman, but i'm not familiar with the other two.
Road to Perdition is a graphic novel (my copy), with art by RICHARD PIERS RAYNER.

It is a really good book Sue & Dawn! 8:D

I'm going to try and read what I already own this year (yeah, right!) and only buy new if I have a gift card. That Kindle one-click is killing me!!!!!

Sandra wrote: "Sue wrote: "Sandra wrote: "I have been a bit naughty today.....on Kindle have bought all Stacy Green's books Living Victim ][book:Delta Crossroads Trilogy Box Set|..."

Yes, eventually I need to get those books.

I chose this one as well. I've actually been in Miramont Castle and am looking forward to reading a ghost story based on it.

Oh wow, Tom! What was it like?

Janet wrote: "Oh wow, Tom! What was it like?"

When I went it was decorated for Christmas so it wasn't spooky. It's probably not what you Brits would consider a castle. More like a big old rambling mansion with a parapet or two.

See what you mean, got quite a spooky look to it though on the outside. That was taken when the sun was shining, on a dull day can imagine it takes on a different feel.

Today; ; ; ; & . Not familiar with this author, but they caught my eye, or rather "Noir, with a Havana flavor" caught my eye. They look good.

Have just downloaded earlier Ritual

Have book 6 and 7 via Netgalley but have to read the preceding ones first! Ploughing through!!

I just got in the mail yesterday afternoon Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach. It is not a thriller, but it is going to be a great read!

I've been wanting to read for ages and it's finally available at a good price.

Good when that happens, Tom! Hope you enjoy it!

You won't be disappointed . I started it today and more than half way through. Finding it hard to put down

Oh boy!!!!! Another warped reader. I can't wait to read this.

I just ordered Heartsick and One Kick never read her before, looking forward to it

Deborah,
You might want to think about starting at the beginning of the series.......and read the books in order. Our dear Ms. Christine will give you a 'pankin, if you don't.
Get ready for a ride..........tese books will surely keep you awake!!!

I'm OCD when it comes to reading books in order!! When I looked in to Chelsea Cain, Heartsick came up as being first in series
