message 2504: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 2164 comments I wasn't totally satisfied with my 2017 choice for the Winter challenge, so I just treated myself to The End of the Day, the new Claire North book, to read instead. Much happier now.

No, I hadn't seen it but I have now!!!
Very impressive. I think I'll stick with Sue Grafton and JD Robb. That's enough books for me now.
My son read the Artemis Fowl books years ago and he really liked them.

Elias Zanbaka | 862 comments Just picked up a copy of Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton. At first I thought it was some re-release, but was more than a little surprised to see that it was actually a new book by him. It should be interesting to see what kind of story this "recently discovered" manuscript holds.
