Ivy's Challenge Book List
You have some books on here that I am looking forward to reading.My husband is a huge Piers Anthony fan; not my cup of tea, but always interesting to see other people who enjoy them.
56. Certain Prey by John Sandford. Book 10 of the Prey series. This one is as good as the others in the series...
57. Blue Smoke and Murder by Elizabeth Lowell...very good book...kept me turning pages as fast as I could read them...new author for me...will be looking for more by this author.
58. The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. This is a Young Adult book that follows the life of Nicholas Flamel from the Harry Potter books. It is very well written and kept my interest. I am now looking for the next book in the series.
60. The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library by Alice Kimberly. Very good cozy mystery.
61. Evermore by Alyson Noel. The Immortals book 1. Got this as part of the Goodreads Early Release program. Young Adult book...very good. Thinking of looking for book 1.
62. Chosen Prey by John Sandford. Prey Series book 12...I am really like this series..does this make me a sick person since I like this kind of book???
63. Dying to Call You by Elaine Viets. This is Book 3 of the Dead-End Job Mystery series.
64. A Hard Rain by Dean Wesley Smith. This is a Star Trek the Next Generation book. Different style of writing but good none the less.
65. Annuna by J. C. De La Torre. Rise of the Ancients book 2. Had trouble with this book...I couldn't accept the Gods of old being in the modern world.
66. Armed and Glamorous by Ellen Byerrum. This is a Crime of Fashion Mystery. Can't believe some of the trouble that Lacy Smithsonian gets herself into...
67. Angel's Advocate by Mary Stanton. Book 2 of the Beaufort & Company Series. Different from what I am use to reading but very good. I am liking this series more then I thought I would.
68. Jump Cut by Max Allan Collins. This is one of the books from the Criminal Minds series.
69. You Bet Your Life by Christine T. Jorgensen. This is a book from the Stella the Stargazer series.
70. A Killer Stitch by Maggie Sefton. This is book 4 of the Knitting Mystery series.
71. Mortal Prey by John Sandford. This is book 13 of the Prey Series. I am slowly working my way through this series and really liking it.
72. The Reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks
73. Exposed by Alex Kava. This is book 6 of the Maggie O'Dell series. First time I have read this author and really liked it...will go looking for the rest of the series for sure.
74. Naked Prey by John Sandford. This is book 14 of the Prey series. I am really enjoying this series. Only have five more to read and I will be current. Can hardly wait to get to them.
Tried to read two other books but could not get into them so did not finish them and will not be counting them for this challenge.Burned Angel by James Lee Burke
Pointing from the Grave by Samantha Weinberg
75. Hidden Prey by John Sandford. Lucas Davenport series, Book 15.
76. The Clockwork Teddy by John J. Lamb. A Bear Collector's Mystery, Book 4. Very good book...love this series so far...can hardly wait for the next one.
I read it mostly because of the hype and curiosity. I liked it okay but am not planning on reading the rest of the series...didn't like it enough to want to read them all.
77. A Necessary Evil by Alex Kava. This is a Maggie O'Dell mystery. Very good book...serial killer killing priests...
78. The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey. Five Hundred Kingdom books. Really liked this one...
79. To The Last Breath by Carlton Stowers. This is a true crime book. Very well written and made me so mad at the father long before I was sure he had done the crime.
81. Death of a Musketeer by Sarah D'Almeida. This is the first book in a series that involves the three musketeers and a murder they must solve.
82. The Midnight Club by James Patterson. I like his books and can usually read one in no time at all. This one was very good and kept me interested. My biggest problem with Patterson's books is the short chapters...why does he split a scene into more then one chapter???
83. Adams V Texas by Randall Adams. This is a true crime book written in the first person. I thought it was okay but not one of the better true crime books I have read in the past.
84. Poisoned Tarts by G. A. McKevett. This is a Savannah Reid series cozy mystery. I really enjoy this series...always look forward to another installment. Very quick read and very enjoyable.
85. Indelible by Karin Slaughter. Grant County Series, Book 4. Very good...gave up my tv watching for this one. Not as gory as some of the previous books in this series but still a good book...look forward to the next one in the series.
Picked up Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson and could not get into it...just didn't interest me enough to finish it. Not going to count it here since I didn't finish it but wanted to make note that I did try.
86. L. A. Secret Police by Mike R. Rothmiller.
87. Boneman's Daughter by Tex Dekker. I had alot of trouble getting into this book. It seemed to take forever for the whole story to come together. Not sure if I will pick up another book by this author or not.
89. The Vandemark Mummy by Cynthia Voigt. This is written for the 9-12 year old age group. It was very good and worth the read. I like to read a book before I donate it to the schools for their library.
90. Just Take My Heart by Mary Higgins Clark. I have been reading Clark's books for years and usually enjoy them. This one had just enough going on for me to keep turning the pages but don't think it is as good as some of her other books.
I was looking to read at least 100 books this year. At the rate I am going I think that I may just be able to reach this goal. I have several books that I have tried to read but just could not get into them so even though I may have only read 100 books I will be taking several more off of my shelf. Now I just have to keep from buying more books to put in the gaps that are showing up on my shelf.
91. Delilah Dolittle and the Missing Macaw by Patricia Guiver. This was a really quick read...I figured out who did it long before the middle of the book but kept reading just to see if I was right.
92. The Clue of the Black Keys by Carolyn Keene. This is a Nancy Drew book. I grew up reading Nancy Drew and have always liked them...now I am rereading them as I go along...there have been so many of them written since I was a kid.
93. The Ghost and the Femme Fatale by Alice Kimberly. This is a great series of books. Really keeps you turning the pages. I love the way the ghost helps Pen figure out who did the killing.
94. The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion by Alice Kimberly. Book 5 of the Haunted Bookstore series. Didn't see as much of Jack in this one but it is still a good book.
95. Trial by Fire by D. W. Buffa. I just started this book so am not sure if I will like it or not. I am told that the author use to be the D.A. in my county for a long time. Now to see if he is any kind of a writter???
