Ericka Lutz first novel just released to rave reviews "The Edge of Maybe"

I could not put it down once I started. You just want to know what happens.0 -
I really enjoyed most of the Temprence Brennan novels by Kathy Reichs. I think there are 10 books total (maybe more or less). The books are what the show "Bones" is loosely based on but the book has different characters and Brennan is pretty "normal" compared to her "Bones" counterpart.
They're crime novels for the most part with some romance drama thrown in but it's not overwhelming. I'm not big into romance but it's a nice balance.
WOW, I did not know that! I love that show, I had no idea about the books. I'm definitely going to give those a read now.0 -
Anything be Nelson DeMille0
-
Anything by Robert Goddard, he writes modern based mysteries with a historical slant and is difficult to second guess.
Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky, contempory novel set in France at the start of Nazi occupation.
And some of my fav classics - Brideshead Revisited, Bleak House, Dracula and Persuasion.0 -
Bumping this for when I'm finished with Hunger Games. Can't wait to check out some of these books!
is this the same as 'Battle Royale'? - been thinking of getting them but it annoys me when somethings too similar to something else0 -
sorry OP, anything by Michael Connolly - love Harry Bosch and his brother the lawyer - can't remember his name (lincon lawyer etc)0

My Aunt bought me the first five or so as a gift once and I blew through in no time!0 -
Yes. Goodreads.com. I'm on there under Ceanne. It's
great!0 -
I've read some amazing books recently.
Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson- probably one of the BEST books I've ever read
The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb- Fantastic but really long.0 -
Just finished The Birth House by Ami McKay. Great book! Also - Still Alice. Excellent read about early onset Alzheimers. Very real. Both are highly recommended!0
-
The Help, To Kill a Mocking Bird..0
-
Big fan of Wilbur Smith. :happy:0
-
A couple more suggestions...The Help was a great read. I love the Outlandervseries by Diana Gabaldon, and hilarious lite mysteries, by the numbers series by Janet evanovich. Enjoy!0
-
I'm currently reading "The Boy in the Suitcase" - I like it so far
Other recent books I read & enjoyed:
Someone Knows My Name
Adrenaline
The Hunger Games Trilogy
The Kitchen House
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
Sister
Before I Go to Sleep
What Alice Forgot
The Cotton Malone Series by Steve Berry (historical thrillers)
The Language of Flowers
When Darkness Falls0 -
Also - Still Alice. Excellent read about early onset Alzheimers.
I agree - this was a good one. And it's told from the perspective of the person who has it, not the family members dealing with them.0 -
I'm an avid reader, though I pretty much stick strictly with the thriller, mystery genre.
I love, love, love:
Linwood Barclay
Lisa Gardner
John Sanford
Janet Evanovich (Plum Series)
Patricia Cornwell (Scarpetta Series)
Harlan Coben (Bolitar Series)0 -
Anything by Janet Evanovich - her Stephanie Plum books are an excellent read - crime, romance, comedy... and her characterisation is spot on. Why these have never been made into movies is beyond me!
Anything by Val McDermid - this woman is the Godmother of Crime Fiction. She's not for the faint-hearted, but has written three different series of books as well as a number of stand-alone novels.
I'm a big crime-fiction fan, and being a Scot, I love Scots writers so I can highly recommend Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, Alex Gray, Denise Mina amongst others.
Similarly, Scandinavia has produced some wonderful crime authors: Steig Larsson, Henning Mankell, Lisa Marklund, Jo Nesbø0
