Frogli | 118 comments I have no idea what I'm reading for this, the only one that springs to mind is Good Omens which I love but have read many times.

Valerie | 280 comments I have recently fallen in love with the works of Joyce and Jim Lavene. Unfortunately, Joyce passed this year. But, her works will continue.

Here is a list of their series, and their books. I highly recommend the Missing Pieces Mysteries. I also enjoy the Retired Witches Mysteries.

I have not read the Pumpkin Patch Mysteries, so I cannot speak for them.

They also write under J. J. Cook

I also really enjoy Ilona Andrews works. This is a husband and wife team. I really enjoy the Magic series. It is a little graphic and violent at times, but the action, and character interactions are what I like the best.

Amanda | 229 comments I think I will read "The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub.


message 7: by Ann-Marie (new)

Ann-Marie (amsjob) I will read Thrones, Dominations which Dorothy L. Sayers begun but never finished before her death and Jill Paton Walsh finished many years later.

Helin Puksand | 8 comments I will read Eldvittnet or Sandmannen. Lars Kepler is actually 2 persons: man and woman and I have read their The Hypnotist and The Nightmare.


message 9: by Melissa (new)

Melissa I plan on reading Between the Lines written by Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha Van Leer. it is considered a YA novel but I love Jodi and I think it's sweet she collaborated with her daughter.


message 10: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teremazon) Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher. I love them both to death and I am very intrigued to see what they can come up TOGETHER!!!!

Thomas Hillring (dakkster) I'm still reading Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey for last year's challenge, but I will continue the series because it's really entertaining. James SA Corey is a pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.

I am thinking I will read the second in the series, Caliban's War, for this category. I read #1 last year for the pseudonym category. Pretty good series so far!

message 14: by Sharmon (new)

Sharmon (tpgirl) Historical Fiction Mystery Fans may like any of the Charles Todd series which are written by a Mother/son team.


message 15: by Peabody (new)

Peabody I had never realized that all the books I read are by one author.
I went through all 400 books in my to read list and nada.
any suggestions about mysteries that are a fun read and written by two people?

I just learned that Charles Todd was a mother/son team, and something they wrote will probably be my choice for this category.


message 17: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teremazon) Nicci French is the pseudonym of a British husband and wife writing duo, who write psychological thrillers.


message 18: by Mary Sue (new)

Mary Sue I just finished Have Mother, Will Travel: A Mother and Daughter Discover Themselves, Each Other, and the World . This is the January selection for my in person book club and it is by the mother/daughter duo Claire & Mia Fontaine. This is their second memoir - the first detailing their earlier lives and particularly Mia's struggles with abuse and drugs.


message 19: by Kristina (new)

Kristina I recommend for this category the books by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They write thriller/mystery books. Together they have written 2 series - the Pendergast series and the Gideon Crew series - as well as 4 stand alone books (though some of the characters in those books are also features in the series).

Elise | 12 comments Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
It was on the New York Times bestseller list and has already been snapped up to be made into a movie.
Sci-fi set in the future when humans have moved off earth. Theres some romance and its written in an unconventional style - emails, interview transcripts etc.

This one is really interesting. Putting that on my to-read list.

Jessica (jessicamdawn) | 19 comments Goodreads only lists Dave Barry as the author of the Peter and the Starcatchers series, but I know for a fact from owning the books that they're written by Mr. Barry and Ridley Pearson. The books are an origin story for Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, Neverland, fairies, the Darlings, etc etc etc.
