Nancy, I read Boy's Life and I loved it. I don't know why I haven't gotten around to Swan Song, yet.

Finished The Big Blowdown & King Suckerman the first two novels in the series. Pelecanos is a good writer but his plots are threadbare at best. The first book was better than the second and I am looking forward to wrap up the series soon.

I would love that Nick.


Someone recommended John Connolly to me. I plan on trying him out at some point.

You can't. The app sucks. I never use the app for posting comments.

[ book:title ]
Example:
[ book:Gone with the wind ]
Leaving out the spaces next to the brackets it will look like this:
Gone with the wind
This only works with some book titles though not all.




A good palate cleanser!
After reading Alice and The Red Queen, followed by an SK interlude (isn't it always nice to get back to reading something of his?) I'm currently onto The Lost Boy by Christina Henry.
I also read A Little Life back in May/ June. Anyone here read it?

@Matthew: there you have a point. A lot of people think it's all about the sex, but the psychology and the relationship are more interesting. I only read the first book.

My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

So, I've read them all (50 Shades), and agree that the relationship is really interesting. And it can't be all about the sex because those parts are really badly done, and repetitive. My question is what does a woman see in this guy? Oh yeah, billionaire, troubled, obsessive, "beautiful" man, who will drop anything and rush to her aid no matter where she is or what the problem is. Who will insist on buying her clothes, and cars, and charm everyone she knows even her down-to-earth step dad. Who loves the classic romantic novels (especially Hardy) and plays the piano beautifully, who can fly a copter and a glider and - whether she likes it or not - will up-grade her travel to first class and buy the seat beside it so that it will be empty on the flight. Who even goes so far as to draw up a contract so that they have to know what kind of sex okay and what is off limits. Oh yeah, he's moody and has a BDSM playroom.


Great story!

I just started it. Will be curious to see what you think of it.

Are you reading it for another group? I am for Psychological Thrillers
