I am reading
...I am more than half way done with it. I am also reading Seven Suspects by Michael Innes. This is a really old book and this is the second time I have read this.
I am really enjoying both of these books. I love both of these Authors.
I got all kinds of books going--as usual--but I'm strongly considering seeing if I can't read Legion straight thru today. It seems like I've lost the knack.
I am reading One by One they are sold as detective novels but really do cross the genre into horror sometimes which I love.
I finished reading
this morning. This is a really good mystery to read. It is a page turner for sure. I dearly love this book.

this morning. This is a really good mystery. It is a page turner for sure. I love all of Patricia Cornwell's Books. I now have started to read
. This is from my own library.
I'm reading the second part of the series by Brian Keene, it's called City of the Dead.
I totally love it, such a great zombie story, totally different then any I read so far.
As well I started The Martian by Andy Weir and it is absolutely brilliant!!!
And I wanted a bit of atmospheric change, way away from horror lol for a change, so I started Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff.
I'm loving it so far, but I have to admit that the writing style is a bit heavy for me. I'm not sure if this is because I'm not an English native speaker, but I read all my books in English. I'll have to read some other biographies in English and then I will see if this is up to me or not. i used to read a lot of biographies years ago and I really loved them...I love anything that has got to do with history.

I was disappointed for the most part. It ended up with 3-stars from me because I gave the ending an additional star.

Awesome, I hope you enjoy it! BTW, I just wanted to tell you that I treasure your gifted UK copy of Doctor Sleep very, very much.
I'm again in the 'freebies mode' :)
Decided to blindly pick one of the freebies from time to time (better said from book to book) and so far the choices have been great.
At the moment reading a paranormal romance/UF, haven't had that in a while:
The Ghost and the Graveyard

I finished Gone Girl. I liked it but I knew one of the key plot point before I started reading it. It would have been more shocking if I wouldn't have known.This morning I started Pet Sematary.
Currently reading
The Watcher in the Shadows. Really good book so far especially as it was a book I picked up for the cover alone.
Im reading

I finished Pet Sematary. I loved the ending.Now I'm reading Seven Deadly Wonders. This is the first book I've read from him. I've heard good things.
Ive read pet semetery years ago and it really scared me!! The other book is one ive never heard of but it sounds great. Its gone on my to read list which just gets longer and longer lol
I do get through a lot of them but its the freebies that i get stuck on. I download lots of them but then find i never get round to reading them. Im really excited about

I finished Seven Deadly Wonders. Then I tried to start two different books but I just couldn't get into them. So I read the short story from King: A Face in the Crowd.Now I'm reading The Name of the Wind.

Hey Angie! How have you been? I read the first two books of The Warded Man series and loved 'em.
I see the one you posted above, The Skull Throne, has been released. I still need to read #3, though.
I haven't read any of Brett's other stuff.
Last week I finished The Name of the Wind. It was a great book. I will be reading the next one soon.Now I am reading Predator One.
I read Predator One and Cycle of the Werewolf. I timed it pretty good so that this morning I could start Finders Keepers.
I finished Finders Keepers about a week ago. It was on par with Mr. Mercedes.Then I started The Girl on the Train.
I've recently finished The Girl on the Train and Every Fifteen Minutes. Both were good suspense books.Now I'm reading Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia.
Seems like everyone has been reading The Girl on the Train.I'm actually reading the Harry Potter series. I've never read it before and had a reason to this month
I recently read Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia and The Last Kind Words. I highly recommend The Last Kind Words.Now I'm reading Cat's Cradle.
I recently finished Cat's Cradle and Thinner.Now I'm continuing my Halloween read with Skeleton Crew.
I recently finished Skeleton Crew and Searching for the Sound: My Life with the Grateful Dead.Now I'm reading The Wise Man's Fear. I've been waiting to read this one.
I just finished The Wise Man's Fear. It was epic. I can't wait for the next one.Now I am reading Messenger of Fear. I got it as a giveaway here.
Can't believe this group is still here. I have been gone so long. Want to start reading again. My health is holding for now. Need some book recommendations. I'm up for most things right now if it's good.
