Harlan Coben
Linwood Barclay
I am sure more...
Clive Cussler is one of my favorites and I am ashamed to see how far behind I have gotten. I remember when I used to read them as soon as they were published.

You really have a grasp on the genre, as far as thrillers go. I've discovered quite a few names. Thanks!
Mod
Love my thrillers, especially action thrillers..
Just need more time and live to 150 years old...LOL
I darent list mine Sean
Mod
It is always getting larger !
Oh my God, Sean, I love your list!! My TBR will grow and grow and grow... thank you :)
My TBR has around 2,000. Sad I most likely will not get through them all.
Mine is out of control as well, but just this week I decided to read 2-3 a week if I can. I am in a very small rural community and even though I go to libraries in two other counties, I am having trouble finding some. I will try interlibrary loan and give them a month to find them beginning Oct 1, and then just remove them from my TBR list. I did find two today, so I am happy about that. Being retired, I no longer want to purchase books.
I figure to look for about 10-12 a month.
It's hard to get it all in. You'd have to stop doing everything else.
James Patterson is one of my favorite authors. If I exclude his kids and YA books, I don't think I could ever read everything he has written since he puts out so many a year.
I got a big bag of books from the Bouchercon confrence with some pals and fellow authors. Of course, I bought some, too. Recently finished, THE EXPAT by Chris Pavone--excellent! Also SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. Now am starting one from my SinC sib, L.A. Chandler, THE SILVER GUN, an Art Deco Mystery. So far, super.
I am so jealous at those of you that can go to those conventions!!

I do like James Patterson, especially his earlier books.
But I remember an article by Andrew Gross, who explained James Patterson knows nothing of the story idea, just says about this?, then passes it over, the guest writer, writes the book, and James Patterson checks the ideas etc, and add his ideas, then the author does more.
Then approved by James Patterson, who then gets paid over 50 % . while the guest writers gain publicity.
James Patterson comes out with 8-12 books a year, he could never produce that amount himself.
I believe he is cheating a bit now, just my thoughts, although I have many to read, and do enjoy them, not quite the same when they become factory like..

On number 9 of 9 of Angela Marsons.
I too have a bunch of books I need to finish in a series, but I don't think I can even attempt to list them all on here as it would take me forever to even go through all my bookshelves to get them listed in this thread! lol I have over 2,000 books stuck in my amazon cloud, but another 2,000 that I want to read! I just know that I have tons of series that I need to finish reading the books. :) lol

I kind of started a book club for Book Hoarders who need to reduce their TBR list and actually READ the books they love. It's pretty new, but I'm hoping others who have this struggle will join and mutually support one another. The struggle is real.

That describes my basement library and I keep adding books to my TBR list!!!
Right there with ya. There's got to be a better way to read the awesome books we already have and reduce the temptation of piling on new ones.
I joined a Pick it For me group always putting my books in there and then I read about what others are reading!!! I am addicted to books and reading. I guess as addictions go this one is quite safe.
