A Good Thriller discussion

I've just downloaded Eeny Meeny by M J Arlidge. It's on offer today on UK Amazon for 95p. Check elsewhere too if interested.

Not sure how much that is in American dollars, but on Amazon.com that book is $7.99, Janet.

I couldn't find that book you recommended in the library catalogue Christine but I have ordered one of her other ones. will need to see if I can get it on amazon or something

What..."

ah that's ok then that's the one I have ordered from the library :D

Eeny Meeny is not available on NetGalley in UK.

Oh, then that makes your deal extra good, Janet!

I have to stop buying books... Oh look, a bookstore. :D

Lol, Aymen!!

It does, Christine, that's why it was snapped up. It was highlighted on Facebook otherwise I wouldn't have known.

Nice!!

I've just downloaded a Graham Masterton book. It's the Kate Maguire series and it's book four, Taken For Dead. Currently 19p on Amazon. I have books one and two and they seem to be popular. Not read any yet but know I bought all really cheaply. Anyone else read these books, familiar with them?

OK, Elaine has read book 2 and gave it 4 stars. She has a review too. No bargains on Amazon.com. Book one is $6.99 and the 4th is $7.99. You are getting all the bargains today, Janet.

Good sleuthing there! Yes, I've done well today. Don't know when I'm going to read these books but oneclickitis??!!! What girl is to do??!!!!

I've just bought taken for dead for 19p. I have plenty of books to read but I couldn't resist for that price.

Hard to resist books when they're at such a good price!

Have you guys ever been to the strand.com? They have new and used books at pretty reasonable prices. It is brick and mortar The Strand in NYC, and the advertise 18 miles of books. That would fill my shelves.

I went to the Book Fair today, i bought two book ( yes i didn t loose control) a psychological book in Arabic "Control your Feeling" by Dr Ibrahim Elfaki, and ..."the Shining" by Stephen King. I have a problem!

If you read the Shining from left to right and the Arabic book from right to left then they should cancel each other out and it will take no time at all to read them, n'est c'est pas?

I bought the 19p book too lol. It's book 4 in the series but I might read a chapter or two to see if I want to get the earlier ones.

Hey Tom! I think you re right, the Arabic book would make me feel calm, The shining would scare me. Tu as raison mon ami . You speak French and you know that Arabic is written from right to left, great! Assalamu Alaikom السلام عليكم (peace be upon you) :)

I really liked "City of Bones" - it's hard to go wrong with Connelly's Harry Bosch.

Ah, my man Jeeves. Now there is some good old English comedy.

LOL! Getting in a King rut?

Lol , Brenda. I have a problem!

Who I am glad to say is a member of only one group on Good Reads, yes you have guessed it " A Good Thriller"

I have just bought 2 books, i decided not to buy a Stephen King's book, i picked "No Way Home" by Patricia MacDonald, and "Train d'enfer pour Ange rouge / Deuils de Miel" by Franck Thilliez (French Author). Two amazing authors, i can't wait to read these books, but i still have to finish the "Talisman" by Stephen King. And i wanted to ask , do you recommend a Nora Roberts book? A romantic thriller if she wrote some :)

The Collector and High Noon come to mind Aymen:)Maybe Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts as well.

Thank you Marian :)

Oh,and by the way Aymen..her Blood Brother book is book #1..sorry I forgot to mention that.

Yes i just saw that when i added it to my to read list, it would be good to start with this one i think.

Did anyone read Harry Potter? I like fantasy but it has to be a bit dark and scary, so what do you think? Should i start reading the series.?

Aymen wrote: "Did anyone read Harry Potter? I like fantasy but it has to be a bit dark and scary, so what do you think? Should i start reading the series.?"

I think a few people read them ;>). I enjoyed them but they are written for younger audiences. While they got darker as they progressed they never got to what I would classify as dark fantasy by adult standards. That said, I suggest you read the first one and see if you like it.

I agree with Tom Aymen.We have all 7 books but you might like them..who knows..right?Have you seen any of the movies?

Thanks Tom, i know so many people read Harry Potter and saw the movies, i m not sure if i m going to like it,or not ! i think i have the first one on my tablet i ll read some pages and see. But sometimes when the story is really interesting and the book well written i can enjoy something different.

No Marian, when i hear the a book is really good, i stay away from the movies until i read them, i ll try to read the first one and let you know how it goes.
