I was hoping a new book from Paula Hawkins would be out by now.
I have not heard of her - is she a good writer? I think I began reading in the womb - feels like it anyway - I can't do without my books!
MY favourites are Nora Roberts, ( aka J. D. Robb) Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy, Brett Arquette, J. Robert Kennedy, Kimber White, Nick Thatcher to name a few.
How about Devil’s Dice by Roz Watkins? Very new writer but a cracking good first book of three
I don't know her but willing to read the book. cracking good huh? Good!
I just finished
, the debut novel from Christine Mangan. Great setting, characters, and tension. It's getting a lot of well-deserved attention!

I mostly read what's under my nose - impartially. After I'm finished a book, I think about it a bit to see if it lived up to it's hype or not. I do love Stephen King's books, some were so grabbing I've read them several times (The Shining) I'm not familiar with some of these authors, but I'll read them anyway, I am of the same opinion of some others, I'm not that fond of women writers. I usually find that male authors have a more solid story base.
My copy of True Fiction by Lee Goldberg is in the mail. Can't wait to read it.
Then She was Gone by LisaThe Broken Girls - Simone
The Outsider - Stephen King
After Anna - Lisa Scottolene
I very much want to read The Origin by Dan Brown
I am dying to get my hands on the above books as I haven't read a single one as yet. It sure does hurt!

I now read writer's i know are consistent John Connolly/David Baldacci/Eric van Lustbader Terry Hayes I am pilgrim was a brilliant read Mark Greaney is good as regards women Val mcDermid is about the most consistent

Roberta, I love a lot of old vintage mysteries that focus on delightful amateur sleuths and deductive reasoning. I read the new Joanne Fluke "mystery" and most of the mystery was left unsolved.

I lookforward to your emails and specially love the comments by readers. I note down all the names that appeal to me and then set off to find them!Please keep up the good work.

I read an early copy of
a few months ago, and I am still not over the ending. I've been dying for it to come out, so other people can read it.
Stephen King's "Outsider" and Lisa Scottoline's "After Anna" are all that appeal to me.
Anna wrote: "No more Ruth Ware books for me. Her characters are too cliched and pretentious.I'm inclined to read the next Simone St. James book though."
True, I've read the woman in cabin 10, the plot starts interesting but the main character it's frustrating.
In a dark, dark wood, better fluid writing but poor plot and development.
The lying game, once again plot was promising but I lost my nerve with the characters.
I'm not sure if try again or give up with her already.
I've added to my TBR The broken girls, Outsider, the perfect Mother...I'm aiming for stand alone books, I've started too many series already and they never end.. :)
A list with all new books for me! great :) Will start ASAP. Is there anyone else who has not read any of these like me?
I'd add a couple books that are already out this year to the list... The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn (great), and The Chalk Man by CJ Tudor. Also, Tangerine by Christine Mangan looks great!

To Anna & Valeria: I too have given up on Ruth Ware. I was a bit disappointed with In a Dark, Dark Wood. I tried again with The Woman in Cabin 10 and was more than disappointed. I bought The Lying Game and haven't been inclined to read it (unfortunately, I bought it before I decided I should just leave her works alone). Her latest has what all her previous books had, a great sounding summary that reads just like something I'd love but I can't be bothered to give it a chance.

I also find her stories filled with too much political correctness.
Not sure why The Year of the Locust would be on an upcoming list since the publication date keeps getting moved and now seems to be October 2019.
