I am jelly.....over The Target.

I am so excited I have just received by post the last three books I bought on an internet page: Robert Jordan´s The Wheel of Time (books 1 and 2) and The Fantasy Worlds Of Peter S. Beagle.

Well I just bought and Dan Brown's

Te're, I actually haven't read Demolition Angel. I have this thing about stand alones. Read very few of them. Let me know how you find it.

Chasing Darkness, i have to warn you, I didn't find that exciting compared to his other books.

Marian, Field of Prey has been my favorite book so far in 2014. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Here's what I bought. Oh yes, I was at the Goodwill Book St..."

Ter'e, Demolition Angel is my second favorite Crais book after Suspect. Then I would say The Two Minute Rule would be next. I would rather pick up a stand-alone book because if I really liked it, I don't feel like I have to go out and buy the rest of the series because there are no others.

Kathryn,
You are much more disciplined than me. Once I discover a new author......I want to read everything.......the good and bad.
I have one more of Chris Mooney's books and then I will have read his thrillers.

I just popped in my local charity shop and managed to grab "The Pilgrim" for £1.00

Field of Prey is one of the best Sanford has written. Lucas Davenport is one super dude.

I would have to agree Susan with your comment about Lucas:)Not sure when Im going to read his "Field of Prey" but thank you:)

Heinous By Debra Webb.....Karin Slaughter's Cop Town.... Cassandra Clare's City of Heavenly Fire. Have also pre-ordered James Patterson's Hope To Die & Robert Tanenbaum's Fatal Conceit.

I also have the last two in the Game of Throne series to read before next season starts.

You will love that book DianeAlice:)

$0.80 at our library sale.
And DianeAlice Red Dragon is a great book. Hope you enjoy it.

Yes he is, especially with a little Virgil Flowers on the side!

Screw willpower.
I heard there was a new Goodwill in Bradenton, so I had to stop. I am a sucker for a GW! Maybe you don't want to know that ----- but I have a ball going in there.
I was bad.
I bought three books: James Rollins' The Last Oracle, Barry Eisler's Requiem for an Assassin, and Gregg Olsens Closer Than Blood.
Terrific!!!!!

Yeh, yeh I am.

The inside man, Jeff Abbott, Natchez Burning,Greg Iles and about 5 Karen Rose titles :)

Greg Iles is one of my top five authors. Pure enjoyment.

Jeff Abbott, great author

I just read Sean that he went to writing Detective novels to thrillers?

Just finishing the devils Punchbowl then have either The Target by David Baldacci or The Inside Man Jeff Abbott

Difficult choice..

David Baldacci is one of my favourites, and also as is Will Robie !

He's a great character. Love king and maxwell too. Have read all his books. Another fav is Richard Montanari

Have just discovered Montanari - he is great!

That was very restrained of you Ter'e. I have been known to come out with two bags full........

And, now, I just bought the 2nd book in the Gretchen Lowell series. Whew......this gave me the willies.
Gosh, I need to read faster.

Oh my gosh........Greg Iles' books simply rock. Pure entertainment.

I haven't heard of Gretchen Lowell Ter'e - I will now have to look her up. But you are right - Greg Iles does rock! Have you tried Richard Montanari?
Just bought a Kindle yesterday so am going to download all his books.

Sandra

Gretchen Lowell is the wonderful antagonist in Heartsick by Chelsea Cain. Highly recommended series, and author.

Greg Iles stands in a class reserved only for the VERY best authors. (like Thomas Harris). Devour everything Greg Iles writes.

David Baldacci I just don't rate at all.

Jeff Abbott is okay. (Better off reading Joseph Finder, for example)

Just my opinion :)

Never tried Richard Montanari, so I'll be sure to look him up.

'scuse my ignorance, and thank you for enlightening me Chris.
I have Chelsea Cain on my TBR list.
Love Greg Iles.
Like you I don't rate David Baldacci.
Have read a couple of Jeff Abbotts - can take or leave them.
Haven't read Joseph Finder so will keep a look out for him.
But have just downloaded all the Montanari books onto my Kindle so I can start from the beginning.
Happy reading!

Will check out Joseph Finder, any particular book good to start with?

Deborah wrote: "Will check out Joseph Finder, any particular book good to start with?"

Nope :) Start wherever you like with Joseph Finder. See what subject matter grabs your attention--if any.

I also like Peter Abrahams ... okay, liked is more accurate since he only seems to write for kids now. I liked A Perfect Murder, The Tutor, with him.

Unlike Greg Iles, both of the above authors probably appeal to a "less broader" market, but more to my tastes :)

Sandra,
Gretchen Lowell is the female lead in Chelsea Cain's "Heartsick". omg, this book kept me on my toes...........cringing.
Like you........I positively love Greg Iles. Cannot wait to read "Natchez Burning".

I have gone back to reading a Robert Crais book. Just discovered his work and I love him too.
So many new authors to me..........I am in heaven.

OK! Busted! I did not buy anything. BUT!!! I was just playing with my ipad.......and found my IBOOKS, which I had forgotten about. I about fell off my chair.......when I had to jump up and do a happy dance. I had totally forgotten I had books there too. Karin Slaughter was hiding in there. Gone Girl was there. AND, my very favorite..........W.E.B. Griffins latest book, which I have not read yet. Probably ten books hiding from me.
It was better than Christmas. I am so excited.
I am such a cheap date. LOL.

This is so crazy........for MY birthday, I bought my oldest dau a Acer Tablet. Now I can bookshare. (Soon as I figure out how to do it). I send her all my hardback and paperbacks anyhow, once I am finished........so now, I can share my downloaded books as well. She is thrilled......and I, as a mommy, am thrilled as well.
Life will be so much easier once we move to MO. Waiting for "the right family" to walk thru my home.

Okay so I now have to check out Chelsea Cain and Robert Crais.
What a lovely surprise for you!
Good luck with finding the right family......have just been through all that, sold our home and moved into town into a rental in March. Just need to sell the business now.....

Sandra,
