The Colour of Magic
Terry Pratchett
285 pages
Works for:
Word in text (page 69 - "Morpork was already a cauldron of flame".
C - title (Colour)
A - Ankh (location in book)
L - Luggage (character)
D - Death (character)
R - Rincewind (character)
N - Ninereeds (character)

It has "Wizards" as a genre, but it has to be witch not wizard, right?

haha!! Love it! I am less interested in those, I love the forensic stuff. I even wanted to be a pathologist for a while. Give me blood and guts any time! LOL
I have watched many a doco on the body farms at the University of Tennessee and in our own backyard (NSW).

I listened to it as an audiobook and actually drove the long way home so I could get further in the book. I love good gore lol

Kathleen wrote: "I swore of Karin Slaughter after that Pretty Girls (i think it was pretty girls?) BOM before. My heart xouldnt take it lol"

that book got me reading her books. I loved it. I started Pieces of her, but had to return it to the library and got distracted with another book. I read The good daughter as well and I liked that ok.

Kathleen wrote: "@Chava, well that makes for an interesting character!"

LOL. Like I said, that c word means cook or chef in Dutch. They later changed the spelling as to not cause offense in English speaking countries. It's pronounced the same as the offensive word though... LOL

De Cock en de dode harlekijn
A.C. Baantjer
160 pages
Works for:
C - De Cock (De is The in Dutch) as both character and title
A - Annie (character) & Amsterdam (one of the 2 cities where this story takes place)
U - Utrecht (one of the 2 cities this story takes place)
L - Lowietje (character)
D - Dikke Toon (character) & Mrs van Duuren (character)
R - Dr Rusteloos (character)
N - Nachtwaker Peters (character)

Edited to include another letter that I had forgotten

I haven't read or listened to a book in Dutch for years. I have to say, I'm struggling a bit. Lucky they are speaking slow.

Karen, I'll go with the Dutch spelling so we can use it for the C. Although, there are several characters who will work too.

Question:
I am listening to an audiobook in Dutch, but the edition listed on GR as main edition is an English paperback. The problem is that the spelling of the main character is with a C in Dutch and with a K in the English edition. (This is likely because the Dutch word is a offensive word in English, but means cook in Dutch). Do I use the C or the K? The book in question (Dutch version) is De Cock en de dode harlekijn or English version Dekok and the Dead Harlequin
Thanks

Not surprised. I read one he coauthored with an Aussie author. She now writes her own books. I guess it's a good way into a big market before they write their own

Character The Oracle

The way he always does, him and a coauthor

James Patterson has a new book out and he's publishing it fully through Facebook messenger. It has interactive bits (videos, recipes, pictures) but it's actually quite fun.

I tried, but didn't finish before the deadline.
