A Good Thriller discussion

This thread is where you can chat about all things PIFM, ask questions and once books have been read, review your selected reads. A complete free for all.

PLEASE NOTE:

PIFM is meant to be FUN and not to be taken seriously. I would appreciate it if all participants just chilled and not get worked up about voting, who votes, who doesn't, etc. Please bear in mind that some will just want to vote, many don't come on everyday and most of us have time constraints. I just want a relaxed approach to it all and for you all to just enjoy the process! I'd really appreciate your courtesy in this matter. Thanks.

Welcome back, Janet! I hope you and your daughter are feeling better. I will try to not vent so much this month.

Thanks, Kirsten. Daughter is better, just me! How gracious of her to pass it on?!!

Yes, welcome back Janet! *groan* One of the many privileges of having children. LOL Hope you recover soon. Missed your feisty self. (Hugs)

Oh, yes, I remember those days. My little sister would bring something home from school and by the time it finally cycled through all 6 of us, she'd bring something else home! I never got so healthy as when I moved to my own apartment!

Sorry you're sick, Janet! Hope you're back to 100% soon.

I hope you get better soon Janet!! Glad you're daughter is OK :)

Thanks everyone! :)

Hugs, Janet. Thinking good thoughts.

Janet - feel better soon.

And, Whhaaaaaat, there's a new thread already!!!! Well, we got our Internet fixed and I don't have to wait so long to connect anymore but I know I'll still be behind!

Janet-I hope you are feeling better today and it doesn't get passed around anymore.

I guess this is where we put our comments?

I'll start with the books I chose for people:) Such good choices everyone…and so many more to add to my TR list.

Brenda-You had some great choices and I loved The Rosary Girls so I had to pick The Skin Game…then you can tell me how it is:)

Freda-I love all the the Savich/Sherlock books. I started reading them years ago and sadly I can no longer remember if I read that one or not. But I know I loved all the ones I read, lol.

Kirsten-Thanks for some new options with your choices. I hope you have some free time next month because I picked a long one.

Ryan-I know you will go back to your series so I chose Dan Brown. Have you read him before?

Faouzia-No KIng from me:) although I do really like him. I think I will like this thread:)

Christine-Thaks for some new adds. BTW, Drop Dead Perfect is a giveaway right now.

Lisa-Lisa here from TN. Where are you? I have your book on my tr list so I want to hear what you think:)

Jean-You hit my soft spot…I love Robert Crais:)

Did anyone else feel the need to repeat some past "losers" this month? :-) I did, but don't read anything into that. I just want to read them and you all will prioritize that!

Lisa from TN - I loved The Rosary Girls, too, and that's why I want to read another by Montanari. If it wins, or when it gets read, I'll let you know how it is!

Thanks all, but I feel even worse today. This cold has kicked in proper.. Hoping to feel better by tomorrow. Going to my parents' house for the weekend to celebrate the giver of this cold's birthday!!! She's fine now!!! Typical!

If it gets picked I can't wait to hear what you thought:)


Janet-Ugh…feel better.



Sophie-I loved The Scorpio Races. My head librarian told me to read it last year:)

I'll not be posting a list this month. The library didn't have my May read, so I've started something else, and will likely still be reading it in June.

I'll still vote though :~)

Do you need a tissue, Janet?

I really wanted to put a couple of repeats on for June but have just vowed to read like a machine and get through them this month if I can. There are so many books that I want to read that I picked a completely new list this month!

Thanks, Lisa. I read Shiver and wasn't particularly impressed (started out really well and then went downhill once the secret was out - boo) but I'm hoping that The Scorpio Races is better. It sounds like it should be good and they have it in stock at my local library so it's worth a look :)

New options as I have never heard of your choices…which is a good thing. I get to learn about new "for me" books:)

I didn't read Shiver so I can't compare. Even if it doesn't win give Scorpio Races a try.

Christine, have pmd you.

Posted my list and my votes (for now) on the proper threads.

Got it and I posted my pick for you.

You're already on the list of those I voted for.

Don't see your post with your vote for me, Lisa.

Amber wrote: "You're already on the list of those I voted for."


Thanks…I really do need to get through some of my kindle books. I constantly get sidetracked by new library books.

Never mind...finally found your vote for my list. Thanks. Will post it.

Brenda, I almost made my list entirely re-runs, but then I decided against it and put some new ones on there.
Amber, thank you for picking for me. I have done your pick as well.

Just added my list, and I think great/tough choices.

Voted for everyone so far.

Some great choices there. I need to think about my decision. Are you able to get Never Die Alone?

Oh, okay, the thing is... I go through my "to-read" list and start at the earliest books on my list and then pick the first "J", "U", "N", and "E" books. Never know what'll I get!

Hey, Pat! I notice one of your choices was In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette. Did you know that Diane Rehm interviewed the author? http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/201...

Thanks for the link. I did not know.

have read all the montanari books - very good so I would keep going with those :)

Your list was great, Sean. I had a really tough time picking as I could easily have read any of them! I was particularly torn between Those We Left Behind and Follow You Home. I really enjoyed The Magpies and have been meaning to follow it up with another Mark Edwards book for some time.

Looks like I will have to add the other Montanari books to my list. The pile just keeps getting bigger and bigger, lol.

That book looks excellent…I added it to my TR list:) Thanks for the link.

What a great idea. THnaks for sharing how you chose your books.

I posted my choice for you and also added some of your books to my TR list.

Pat-Wow The Lampshade sounds creepy and horrific. I think I will pick something a little lighter for your non fiction read although I did add that one to my list.

Jean: I noticed.

Posted a second list of my votes. Everyone on it voted for me earlier, either before I logged off yesterday and didn't get noticed until today or they voted today before I logged on.

There's only 2 votes.

Lisa

Have Lisa Jackson through Net Galley, in fact most are Net Galley books, have 43 books to read for review.

Lisa,

again thanks, I think this PIFM list is a tough one, but at the moment Evil Games is winning !

Lynn, I think you forgot something while posting your selections

Either that or GR ate her post.

I didn't know that GR got hungry.

My Votes and PIFM have been posted up to this point. Goodreads didn't get hungry, I was working on my lists. Patience people patience... lol

Pat, I'm intrigued with your list. I'm not a nonfiction fan so I will be looking forward to your review, whichever book wins. The list looks good!

Sean, OH MY. Your list was so difficult to decide! Not just the titles. The blurbs were enticing. The covers eye catching. A lot of those I would like to read, eventually.

I know huh? I suppose everyone is so excited about what you're going to choose for your list, they had ants in their pants. I was excited too, you sneaky tease. LOL

Freda, A lot of nonfiction today actually reads like fiction. I'd advise you not to just dismiss it out of hand.
