  • I just finished The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo. This is apparently an author to try if you liked Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was pretty good.

    I am now reading Darkness Hunts by Keri Arthur a bit of a paranormal romance (book 4 in the series). I think the next will be the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. My boyfriend got me the 6th book that was written by Eoin Coffer "And Another Thing" so now is as good a time as any to re-read the series. :happy:


    Did you enjoy it? I have heard the same thing. I have been waiting for the first books of the series to become available in the U.S.

    I'm reading A Murderous Procession the last in the Art of Death series.

    I did enjoy it. There are a lot of characters and it jumps back and forth between 1944 and 2000 so it isn't light reading, you need to think a little to follow it. :tongue:

  • Im currently reading "Hearts in Atlantis" by Stephen King. Ive never read any of his before so thought I'd give it a go. My children (aged 6 and 4) and I are making our way through Roald Dahl's books

    I'm re-reading the Book of Deacon series by Joseph Lallo. It's amazing!
    Before that, I read the Riley Jensen, Guardian series by Keri Arthur which is also awesome (adult content, just an FYI).

    how is it? I started the audiobook but the narrator is no Jim Dale so I abandoned it

    It was extremely well written but very sad. Lots of different character storylines but no one seemed to be happy in this book. A fast read though.
  • New here and always looking for a good book. Currently I'm reading
    Brad Meltzer's The Fifth Assassin
    James Rollins' Alter of Eden
    Duglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guid to the Galaxy

    I also have Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson going but I keep putting it down, about 35% thought it. Interesting but doesn't always keep my interest long. I'm a network/computer guy so Steve Jobs has always interest me. I'll get though it :)

    I'm reading Awesome Adventures of Dietgirl. It's an easy read. She definitely captures the emotions and all in the journey. Love her take on things. Funny.

    I recently read Heaven is for Real and of course, Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy

    Martian Time Slip by Philip K. ****. My son is reading it in a lit class so I told him I would read along. Just finished a light weight detective story featuring Elvis Cole by Robert Crais. Can't remember the name of the book. Kinda like a Ludlum: the plots and characters are all pretty much interchangeable but a fun read always. I also just finished an historical novel by Benard Cornwell called 1356. Very disappointed in the paper thin characterizations and the plodding, journeyman plot leading to an obvious end. Maybe it was just me...If you you have an interest in that general era I read a factual history book last year called Agincourt: Henry V and the Battle That Made England by Juliet Barker. Fascinating book that brought to life an amazing story. Fiction falls flat in the face of reality.

    Yeah, I'm working my way through Murakami's back catalogue. I would also recommend Hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world and Kafka on the shore by this Author.

    A feast for crows by George RR Martin. I'm a late comer to all things GOT but I'm loving the books even though I live in constant fear for my fav characters. (Anyone who's read them knows they have a very high death count and no one is safe lol)
