A Good Thriller discussion

I'm on a roll. Also just bought Elizabeth Haynes "Into The Darkest Corner" -I believe that is correct.
UH OH!!!!! Think I just did a no-no. I wasn't sure what I was doing........and I imprinted a copy of this onto my ipad. Dang!!!! I don't know what that means, exactly, but I want to delete it and have no clue how to do that. I was reading a review of it and this "imprint" showed itself. GRRRRR I am slapping my own hand. Right after that, I went to Amazon and ordered the paperback.

Hi Marian,
I'm reading "The Detective". I had 2 R.C. Books on hand and this one was handy. It's sure a page turner.

Thank you Ty..I have written this book down as I just recently started reading Robert Crais books..just 1 mind you but I went and purchased 2 more of his Joe Pikes books.Loved "The Watchman"

Thx Ty. Correcto-mundo! the book is standing on my nightstand and I just gave it a quick peek. You have the correct title.

I am enjoying the book......find myself thinking exactly as Elvis does. Loving the book. Can't wait to stash back all the books and read from the beginning.

The other book I have is "The First Rule". Better check my box under the
bed and see if any copies are in there. I know I have The Watchman somewhere....... Thx Ty

So here's what I'm getting from the library. Have to look a few of these up. Some may be given away, so let me know if you're interested in any.

Les Brown, Live Your Dreams
Russell Simmons, Def Poetry Jam on Broadway
Nene Leakes, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice
Eric Jerome Dickey, Between Lovers
Sharon Mitchell, Near Perfect
Barry Lee Pearson, Jook Right On
Angie Daniels, Trouble Loves Company

I already have Between Lovers

Suggest reading Last Detective, then Watchman and then a First Rule.

Will give an overarching narrative.

All three are good.

Ty,
Was awake til 2 this morning!!!! Had to read thru thru the VN segment. WOW. What a book. Cannot wait to finish this one!!!!! It is so good.
I love Cole and Pike!!!!
Reacher pales, compared to them.
Sorry Reacher fans.......

Sean here....

Your new Robert Crais fan...

Your new Brian Freeman fan..

I have ordered 4 Linda Castillo books from Amazon, all for less than £1.50. Linda Castillo's Sworn to Silence is my July book read, and hearing good things about her books.

I guess another author I will enjoy...

Ty, have you read Brian Freeman?

I have Robert Crais's The Sentry and Chasing Darkness

Well, Sean......I will just pop over and borrow your two Crais books. LOL.
Gosh........his writing is just DIVINE.

Glad to see the Castillo books are coming your way. OMG.......you are in for a ride!!!!! Who'd a thunk????? I just love her.

What I've been saying all along! I like Reacher books but he's kinda one dimensional and full of himself, once you read Cole and Pike. Especially Pike.

I have no affiliation.......but I am sharing something.
There is a seller on ebay.........SCFLAME........who is selling books that we all LOVE.........for $1 each. Shipping starts out at $3.50 for one book and .50 add'l for each added book.
I just bought 7 books. This sure works out to be cheaper than Amazons penny books.
Just saying..............what a terrific concept.

Is the Author, Barry Eisler, well known to any of you??? His books look so awesome.

i need to stop buying books for a while, and read what i already have,at least i will try :p

Oh Aymen........the thrill is in the hunt. Just a few minutes ago, I was looking at all my new delicious books. This is way better than gifts during Christmas.
You notice, I did not say it was better than diamonds tho. LOL. My diamond days are over.........but I still love to look and lust. Now, I lust after my books. (And my honey, of course)

Ter'e i just LOVE book shopping, i feel like a kid in the toy shop :D i love walking in the book store looking for good books, i spend a lot of time to choose, sometimes i change my mind in the last minute and i pick books that i never heard of because they look amazing. Books are the only thing i love buying, besides Sneakers ;)

I LOVE books.......but I love buying them at a discount most of all. Like you....I carry them.....fondle them.......really think about them.........and know they are some of my prized possessions. Reading and hooking are, by far, my two fav things to do.
My husband does not read "books" at all............I don't know how he has gotten thru life without having this love.

Well, at least we re not doing drugs :D

Books and wool........my drugs of choice.
Oh yeh, and Sweet-n-Low.

Yess Diane! exactly

Books, chocolate and good wine (or on a hot day a nice cold beer)!
I have more books than i probably will ever be able to read. Have resisted buying a Kindle but may have to succumb. My husband nearly had a heart attack when we moved house recently and threatened to dispose of some of my books - I similarly threatened his TV remote.
I don't know what you people have in your linen cupboard - but mine was full of books (I ran out of bookcases). The new house has a 3 room cottage which I have claimed as my sanctuary and it is full of my books and my exercise equipment. No prizes for guessing which gets most use.
Happy reading! 8)

Just received my order from Amazon.

Gone Missing

Sean,
DUDE.......you have been busy!

YIPPIE SKIPPY!!!
My pkg of ten Robert Crais books arrived this a.m. It's a wonder I did not attack the mailman when I saw the pkg coming to my door. Oh dear........I think The Watchman may have to be the next book. You know........I am loving Joe Pike. He is such a Bad A- -!!!! I love those bad boys!!!! Joe just does it for me. Why are they not making a Joe Pike movie, or four???? My "next read" list is growing and growing.

And yes, Christine, I will snap a photo for you!!!!! Also.......we rec'd the photos of our house last night. The MLS hit's the net today!!!! I am so focused for the sale to happen........I even have our psychic on board!!!!
Can you just feel my smile today?????

Yes this is the issue I have with Robert Crais. Apparently he doesn't want to sell the movie rights of his Cole and Pike books.

If there was a movie made of Joe Pike it would make the series much more popular.

Lee Child sold 10 million MORE books just because of that one movie.

I just popped into one of our charity shops only to see what they got went to the books and managed to get;

James Patterson - Kill Alex Cross
James Patterson - Run for your life
James Patterson - 4th of July

I also got another one but it's more girly

I had all that for £3.00

a bargain!!!!!!

Okay....Good luck with that!

I picked up the handmaid's tale, purely because it was mentioned in a review of never let me go which I was disappointed with, oh and it was only 50p so I don't care if I hate it

Just bought Robert Crais' The Sentry. It's number three in the Pike series........and I love me some Joe Pike! Yes, I am a book HOG lately. Guilty!!!!

Just bought the executor by jesse kellerman, to be honest I don't fancy this much but I can't leave a charity shop without buying something and want to try new authors

Just bought, the Lee Childs recommended debut novel by

Roger Hobbs ..The Ghostman

and

Lisa Jackson .. Tell Me

(Just read The Sentry, 3.5 stars)

Loving Linda Castillo, Sworn To Silence

Isnt Linda Castillo a great writer Sean.Enjoy:)

Yes she is !!

To me,anyother book after reading..Sworn to Silence..just aint the same..lol!

Linda is very approachable......so nice. She is a GR author. Are you one of her fans????? I positively love her books TOO?

Yep!After I finished Sworn to Silence..I became a fan of hers.She is a new to me author and I remember after I finished Sworn to Silence,I just couldn't give another book a chance right after..she is THAT good!

My dau said "so you are reading a mystery about the Amish???? How exciting could that be????" Little sis she know. I sent her the books as I finished them.........she devoured them.

Yesteday she started The First Rule (Crais) and now she is hooked. She'll finish it this afternoon and wants more. LOL. Now I have her hooked on Crais!!!!

Where is TY????? he should be jumping up and down over all the new Crais reader. He is the Crais guru!!!!

Robert Crais' "Suspect" arrived today. Uh oh!

Oh man. I am such a bad girl. I'll slap my own hands!!!!
However.........when you see a deal.........you have to take advantage of it.
Here's what I bought. Oh yes, I was at the Goodwill Book Store!!!!! Sooooo chap.
America's Best Lost Recipes (so many things I used to make when my kids were little)
Robert Crais - Chasing Darkness
Robert Crais - Demolition Angel

What a terrific haul. Oh dear.......where to put these books????

You did wonderful Ter'e..at my second hand book store today,I got "Birdman" and I forgot to mention..last week,I got John Sandfords new book

>looking sheepish<
I started Birdman.........and had to set it aside. I could not get comfortable with the lingo in the book..........I did not pitch the book.......will save it for another time.

That's ok Ter'e..there rae other books for inbetween times..right?
