message 112: by Clare (new)

Clare | 3 comments is Rebecca worth the purchase, i have been umming and ahhing over it. I want to read it for the club though. This is always something I have wanted to be a part of..literature discussion. Especially crime/thriller/suspense. Also can anyone reccommend say the best crime authour currently writing? I have slipped a bit behind over the last few years??

Why don't you borrow Rebecca from your library Clare?

Check out the threads for the top ten crime authors too, Clare:) http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9...


message 114: by Clare (new)

Clare | 3 comments Hi, nice to hear from you!
Its hard for me to get out as i am 28 and sick (terminal cancer) so i have to rely on others to take me places but ill certainly try. Or I can buy it on amazon for my Ipad its much cheaper than getting the hard copy. All the reviews look fantastic though. Thanks for the suggestion.


message 115: by Brenda, Suspense lover! (new)

Brenda | 11957 comments Mod
Oh Clare, so sorry to hear! Well, like you say, your ipad might be a good option...though I have just checked Amazon's price and Book Depository is the cheapest.

http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Rebec...

If your library isn't an option, maybe BD with their free delivery would work for you:) Take care.


message 116: by Michael (new)

Michael (knowledgelost) Might be worth checking if your local library supports Overdrive. That way you can borrow books from the libraries ebook collection to your iPad. It's very easy to use too. But personally I think Rebecca is well worth it.

Jaymark (kramyaj) I am currently reading book:Mortal Pursuit|11244912]. Seems to me a good read!

No no no!!! lol I can do 2, but I rarely do more than one at a time:)


message 123: by Jaymark (new)

Jaymark (kramyaj) Yes Mish! I am still plowing through it.There is something the way it was written that gives you chills up the spine with excitement. It is my first book from that author which I found in Amazon via my Kindle, and I don't regret purchasing it. I have 2 other books from him, I will give my feedback to it as well!

Lynxie Currently readingMiss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine, #1) by Ransom Riggs which contains a little mystery with a liberal dash of paranormal, science-fiction and romance. I am enjoying it although it really is rather peculiar... Suppose I should expect as much given the title. :)


message 125: by Lynxie (new)

Lynxie They sure are Michael! Some of those kids could give one nightmares! :) I am still not sure how it will end! Just over half way through now :)

It was good, and pretty much suitable for young readers, I gave it to my 9 years daughter and she enjoyed it equally.

This is a new release Lynxie. Her last one was AGES ago, about Mak! I'm almost finished, it's brilliant!


message 137: by Stephen (new)

Stephen I am currently reading "Ambrose Bierce and the Death of Kings", which was in a box of books I got from the library. The story is a bit unclear at this stage but it's well written and quite readable so far. A pleasant surprise.
It's a historical mystery set in late 1800's America, and interesting from that angle also.


message 138: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn I have finally finished book 6 of the Wheel of Times series and now reading book 7 A Crown of Swords. I can wait until I finish the series and move onto something else.

I'm sure you would Michael, and the best part for you would be, being able to read them all close together, as they were fairly spread apart. So starting with #1 and going through would give you the full flow of the characters as they grow!

read that earlier this year-brilliant book!"


It was discover for me. I choose this book absolutely random. Tone of book is so simple and so straight , but it's so deeply psychological and meaningfull, it’s just amazing!
