Kevin O'Brien is an excellent Thriller writer. I have read several of his books and highly recommend him

I look forward to my first, Hannah. You sure got a load today!

Christine wrote: "I look forward to my first, Hannah. You sure got a load today!"

Let me know what you think of him, I will let you know which one of his I read that I thoroughly loved.

And lol..I think I went a little crazy but it's been a while since I bought myself any books and I had to justify the new shelf that was only half filled with what I already owned . I thought it looked quite morose and I feel it is criminal to have a half empty bookshelf.

HAHA, Hannah, I love the way you think!
Yes, I'd be interested in which O'Brien you loved. He has so many that look good!

The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton- I somehow missed out on this when I was a child....it was on the 1/2 price table at my local bookstore, so what could I do? 8:D

As usual I didn't buy it but I did pick up betrayed by Anna smith from the library

This series looks kinda good, Sharon. Have you read any of the first 3 books?

yeah Christine have read them all. they are slightly different in that they are not written in modern day nor are they really historical they are recent history. this one is in the year 1999 .

Well, 1999 isn't terribly unmodern, lol.

I've read the first three too, I have Betrayed on my kindle. I really enjoyed them.

lol

Went to the local used book store. Got

The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat

The Last Runaway

The Bracelet

And a little unknown Alamo North Dakota

I purchased today for 48p!!! A Wicked Snow A Wicked Snow

Thanks, Janet!! I haven't read Olsen either, but I had this book marked so ran over to Amazon and got it for 99 cents. Yay!

Thanks for the heads up Janet, just downloaded it.

Bought yesterday The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins as it was reduced to under £2 on Kindle and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I've got Amazon vouchers to spend from Mothers Day so deciding what else to buy. I love a good spend-up!!

I bought One Last Lie by Rob Kaufman.

Whether or not you like these may depend on if you like books in the dystopian genre. I find them hit-or-miss. The Hunger Games, Ready Player One and Station Eleven were great but the two Divergent books that I read won't make it onto my favorites list. I know you've been reading a lot of Stephen King lately. You may want to tryThe Stand if you like post-apocalyptic stuff.

Great book, The Stand, one of my favourite reads.

Yeah, I must pick that back up one day.

Thank you Tom, you re right i want to read "the Hunger Games" (i saw the first movie) and i want to read "the Stand" all my friends say it s an amazing. I ll check the other two books you mentioned right now, thanks :)

Another one that I neglected to mention that I didn't care for was The Maze Runner series. Some people like it but I'm not one of them.

Warning: Ready Player One, which is also being made into a movie, relies heavily on the readers' familiarity of 1980s pop/geek culture icons. If you like John Hughes movies and Atari computer and role-playing games, you'll love it. If not, you might miss a lot of the references.

Ready player one might be hard for me , i ll see the Maze Runner. Did you read "the Long Walk" by Stephen King?

Aymen wrote: "Ready player one might be hard for me , i ll see the Maze Runner. Did you read "the Long Walk" by Stephen King?"

I haven't read that one.

It s a great book about teenagers who participate to a competition, they have to walk until all of them fall down, exept one who can ask for anything he wants. It really psychological and made me think a lot.

Interesting concept. Kind of like the dance marathons they had during the Great Depression. A good book (and movie) about those is They Shoot Horses, Don't They?.

Yes it is close, "they shoot horses don t they?", interesting i love this kind of books.

I found "they shoot horses don t they" and "the Maze Runner" online, thanks Tom

It's en route, Rob. DHL tracking is worthless for details. I'll post a review when I'm done, for sure.

Mostly print, Chris. I get them at the library, but have bought two recently. I don't usually buy print books, because I don't hang onto them (I did that years ago and learned my lesson when we moved). I am also accumulating an ebook library, some purchased, some free. Why do you ask?

I bought Rob's book for my Kindle. Sounds like yours is in transit from somewhere, therefore a print copy?

Yes, Chris, a print copy.
