Linda Klinedinst (linda_klinedinst) | 9 comments I am reading Trace (Kay Scarpetta, #13) by Patricia Cornwell ...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.

GeneralTHC 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.

Sam Arnold (samharnold) 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'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.

Oh, wow, I can't believe you hadn't read THE BOOK THIEF. People LOVE that book!


message 1064: by Dustin (new)

Dustin I know, right? I first started seeing The Book Thief shortly after publication, circa 2006, and I've been curious about ever since, but I just never got around to reading it.

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

I'm again in the 'freebies mode' :)

message 1080: by Scott (new)

Scott 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.


message 1081: by Sam (new)
