Amy, how about one of these:

Bad Memory
The Body Counter
(both continue a series)

or The Nature of Fragile Things?

One book to go!

Congrats, Tien. In September, I will post Lost and Found. You should do that one well.

You are linked. And congrats on how far you are!

(I have 2 to go, but you will probably finish before I do as I am on a long camping trip.)

Coralie, how about continuing a series?

For the second month in a row, I have ended up with a book that also has been my choice for the monthly shelf. Nice!

STOPPING HERE.

I read Odd Thomas and used it for LOST and Bookopoly. Rated 4*,

This book surprised me. I was expecting horror...not paranormal. I should have remembered how closely Dean Koontz walks that horror line...enough to raise the goosebumps and worry and not enough to freak me out entirely.

I enjoyed this story. The main character was interesting. So glad I finally got to this LOST book.

I nominate Urban Fantasy.
