What was the last book you recommended to a friend?

For me it's anything by Mark Lawrence if you love epic, dark, hard fantasy he's your man!

Prince of Thorns-King of Thorns -Emperor of Thorns

Prince of Fools-The Liar's Key-The Wheel of Osheim

Grey Sister- Red Sister

I'm also listening too a fantastic Fantasy set in WWII where a B17 flies through a time warp and ends up in the future. It's really good I got it on an audible daily deal a while ago I only have 4 hrs left to listen

Right there with you, Ang. Though after this weeks kerfuffle I'm thinking a Larry Correia, or John Ringo novel might be in order. Not that they need the money, but their stories make me happy and it seems to make the whiners upset when this group makes money.

Ok so I just finished I Liked My Life and OMG what a powerful read, it's hard to believe its a debut and read like it was from a tenured author. This would make a great book club read.

What's everyone reading?

I just finished Lucky Bastard Sports Broadcaster Joe Buck's autobiography for my library book club. I liked it and am featuring it today on the blog as part of my #LibraryLoveChallenge -http://bit.ly/2sPqoBR

Ang from OZ | 1690 comments I just started "Venom in the Veins" by Jennifer Estep, it's a long running urban fantasy series I've read for a long time. I think this is book 17.

After that I will most likely read "Ocean Light" by Nalini Singh. I've been reading her books for a long time too. Still feel like I'm in a bit of a reading funk, but hopefully these two books can finally shake me out of it.

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 4181 comments Ang from Oz My favorite author is Harlan Coben and Debbie I'm going to love Laura Griffin’s new book and Ang from Oz I’m glad your book is going good and Debbie I can’t believe it’s 97% where you live

I've read a ton of Harlen Coben's novels and he is good but I prefer women thriller authors.

I have multiple favorite authors from each of the multiple genres I love

The one author I don't like is James Patterson but I really want to read/listen to The President is Missing so I may break my no Patterson rule :)

100º today ugh and we have to venture out to multiple stops so that means sclepping the wheelchair out multiple times too. By the time we get home I'll be done for!!!

message 1594: by Ang from OZ (new)

Ang from OZ | 1690 comments So why the no Patterson, Deb? I've only read a few of his "Book Shots" which most were collabs with other authors. I actually don't think he had much writing to do with them, his name was just added as a marketing tactic. I also prefer woman thriller authors myself.

I have no problems with the authors who writes his newest thrillers, I in fact am a huge fan of some who've gone on to solo careers, but I was in love with his women's mystery series until he started killing off favorite characters. That's a big no no for me.


message 1596: by Ang from OZ (new)

Ang from OZ | 1690 comments I actually found Aussie Author Candice Fox via a collab with her and Patterson. She is actually one of my top authors at the moment, her "Hades" series is a must read for scary/dark/thriller. But it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Stephen King is a no go for me. I don't like his writing style or language.


message 1597: by Christine (new)

Christine Hatfield  (christinesbookshelves) | 4181 comments I started to read one of those Stephen King books called Pet Cemetery and I hated it so I had to stop reading it

I don't like a lot of King's books but I LOVED 11-22-63

Andrew Gross is one author who started out writing w/Patterson who went on to a very successful solo career and one of my faves
