Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 4205 comments Thanks CP!

Tea...Blindsighted was only my second "really dark" murder mystery. The author did a fabulous job of balancing the tension with the investigation though. It was a great plot.

The Blackhouse is a favorite of mine and it had a couple of gruesome scenes, but this one gave me goosebumps. Not that I mind, I just have to pace myself. Most of the Crime Mysteries I've read are somewhere in the middle. I haven't had much experience with Mystery-Thrillers that are heavy on the Horror genre...yet. ; )

Not My Father's Son by Alan Cumming


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 226 comments That is me, MAry!! I have the book here. Not sure how long I have to read it but I'd like to do a BR with you for it.

Good warning! I love this series, but I always warn people when I recommend it to them. I just finished Indelible last week.

Is anyone interested in a Buddy Read starting Jan 30th Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin ,246 pages, 1961 by John Howard Griffin (Author). The write up about the book -- He trudged southern streets searching for a place where he could eat or rest, looking vainly for a job other than menial labor, feeling the "hate stare". He was John Griffin, a white man who darkened the color of his skin and crossed the line into a country of hate, fear, and hopelessness--the country of the American Black man.

I can chat about it with you if you like, Hannah. It's been a few months since I read it but if you start a discussion or post thoughts I'll gladly jump in and add my two cents :)

Would you like to start tomorrow since I have the book also. It's just that I've never given it the time to start reading. I'm not sure how this BR works since I'm a newbie. So how do we do this?

Anita Reads | 1677 comments I checked a few books out from the library today. If any of you would join me in a buddy read in either of these, please let me know.

Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, #4) by Jim Butcher Three Fates by Nora Roberts Along Came a Spider (Alex Cross, #1) by James Patterson The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower, #3) by Stephen King Rules of Prey (Lucas Davenport, #1) by John Sandford The Templar Legacy (Cotton Malone, #1) by Steve Berry

If I remember correctly, someone wanted to start on Along Came a Spider, but I couldn't find any thread for it, and for The Dark Tower Series, I wasn't sure if there was a thread for The Waste Lands yet?

If you don't get any takers you can post over in the "reading an old bom/br" post and some people may come chat with you who have already read the book.
