A good mystery series that is also crazy funny is the Archie McNally series by Lawrence Sanders/Vincent Lardo. The first is McNally's Secret. They are very funny. If you like dry, sarcastic humor.
I can't wait to read this! Can people please mark spoilers tho, who have read it? I love ghost type stories and paranormal stuff, esp. at this time of year.
Have you liked anything by him? I've tried to get into his stuff before and haven't been able to. But you hear so many good things about him, and I love books set in New England.
You can choose to read any group read you like, and there are discussion threads already started for those Cay. And you can discuss other books you're reading too! If you visit the group's main page, and take a look at the main folder headings, it'll give you an idea of what's where. It won't take you long to get the hang of it. Welcome. This is a great group!
Here's the main page:

Lori you GO girl! I'm still getting over the fact that you got your picture taken with Audrey you wild thing.
This one isn't aimed at YA audiences, but it's a really great book:
Wesley the Owl The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl
He's gone, but that Down River looks really good Elizabeth.
(We'll take his book recommendations anyway Lori - we got the last laugh after all!)

Hmm Andrewk a simple "thank you" would suffice. You can look it up here on GR to learn more about it.

I have to read Brothers K and Crime & Punishment too. Have you read that one yet Lori?

Thanks Elizabeth!
Welcome Libby!
They call me the pusher. Here's some great ones. Click on the titles to see descriptions of the book:
1. I Am the Messenger and
2. The Book Thief both by Markus Zusak
I recommend you read Messenger first, then Thief. They are both classified as YA (Young Adult) lit. Although they both could easily crossover to the adult shelves.
3. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. If you're looking for a feel-good read, something that feels like a black and white film where you just want to move in with the characters, this one's for you.
4. The Secret Life of Bees - this is about strong women, and the Civil Rights movement. Powerful, and beautifully written from the point of view of a 14-15 year-old girl.
5. The Count of Monte Cristo - if you're looking for a long book that will captivate you completely and totally, you've found it! And it moves so fast, you won't even believe you've read about 1300 pages when you're done. A thrilling read!
Those are some of my favorites from the past year. Never fear Libby - you'll never run out of book recommendations in this group.
