I am just going to read it. I have voted and voted and voted every month for this to be a group read and it never wins. {sigh}

I hope you like The Silent Corner. I enjoyed it. Detective novels aren't usually my go to genre but it's Dean Koontz!

I love me some Dean Koontz too. It's been a while since I read anything by him, maybe this will be next read!


message 2555: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (paper_addict) I have four books Koontz books that I bought and haven't read yet. I need to get to it!

I also haven't read a Dean Koontz in awhile, and I have several to read. Need to get on that!

I finished A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas and WOW, I understand the hype now! The romance got to be a bit much, although it was fine. But the twists in here were AWESOME, and THAT ENDING!!!! Can't wait for the sequel, which I think comes out this week!

I started Bright Smoke, Cold Fire (Untitled, #1) by Rosamund Hodge which is a Romeo and Juliet retelling in a PA world with some magic and fantasy thrown in. So far its interesting!

Also reading Sleeping Giants (Themis Files, #1) by Sylvain Neuvel and I love this so far!

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Just finished LAWLESS Lawless (Lawless Trilogy Book 1) by Tarah Benner and started Lifeless (Lawless Saga Book 2) by Tarah Benner . Love all Tarah Benner's books!

Kitlina | 49 comments started Alpha Wolf by Sarah Noffke and it's very good, it has some continuation from the author's previous series Ren The Man Behind the Monster (Book #1) by Sarah Noffke . but all I've read so far from SN was gold

I finished The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz yesterday and it was a little different from Dean Koontz's typical books. More of a thriller/suspense with no supernatural spookiness. Like Nancy, this isn't my typical genre although I do enjoy it sometimes. But like Nancy ALSO said... It's Dean Koontz!! I loved it and can't wait for the next book (it's a series of the MC, Jane Hawk). It's got good science!!!

I started The Forgetting (The Forgetting, #1) by Sharon Cameron late last night. Also working on the audio of Dragonsdawn (Pern, #9) by Anne McCaffrey .

There aren't too many Dean Koontz books I don't like, although I do love some more than others :) Hopefully I'll like this one!

So glad you got to read and enjoy the Little House books! I also did not like the ""First Four Years" as much as the rest.

message 2587: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments I'm 40% through The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena on audio after a lot of recommendations, but I'm pretty bored. The only character I like is Detective Razback (spelling?) because he reminds me of Joe Friday from Dragnet.

Deep into The Forgetting (The Forgetting, #1) by Sharon Cameron and it's one of those books that I don't know why I waited so long to read it. My besties Jenny and Jen both told me I needed to read it. As usual, they're always right! ;-P

My 18 year old nephew was here for his family bday party yesterday, and as usual went rummaging through my books. My copy of Scythe went with him when he left. I love that I'm his library! He takes care of my books and always returns them so I trust him.

I really liked the first part of the Husbands Secret and then it went off the rails for me at the end. I know a lot of others loved it though.

And how are you finding it, Karen? I'm about 1/3 of the way through. It's quite imaginative and the characters are unique, but I'm having such a hard time with the wordiness. I started it nearly a month ago and I've totally stalled out on this thing.
