Yes! :-) I noticed that in The Silent Corner & was curious - haven't read it yet.

Linda Clifford | 8 comments I am currently re-reading, Tarzan of the Apes. I hadn't read it since I was a kid. I had forgotten how good it really was. It is not a children's book at all.

Corey | 17 comments Tonight I'm picking Deeply Odd (Odd Thomas, #6) by Dean Koontz for the second time, I had a really hard time getting into it last time I tried to read it, I guess my heart just wasn't in it. I haven't read anything by Koontz in like, forever! But I really want to get back into the Odd Thomas series, I just have two books left in the series!

Goblins! Have fun at the carnival :-)

Jordan Lombard (jslombard) Currently reading A Fistful of Collars, which is a fun mystery, though I think the earlier books in the series have been better than this one so far.


message 458: by Jim (new)

Jim C (avsfaninboston) | 161 comments I am reading The Face of Fear by Brian Coffey . I read it years and years ago. All I remember is the skyscraper setting. It wasn't my favorite DK novel. At the time I was reading book after book by DK and that might have affected my enjoyment back then.


message 459: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 183 comments I JUST finished The Silent Corner today. Liked it. And based on the preview for The Whispering Room at the end of SiIent I expect to love that one. Anyway, I have begun the nonfiction book Obsession by FBI profiler John Douglas. I read his book Mindhunter years ago and this one seems as good if not better.

Jerry (jazzlsnr) | 55 comments Finished Sleeping Beauties. Rushed thru since I had to return to the Library. Not my fave, not his worst. Now reading Fay Kellerman Killing Season, a stand-a-lone. Loving it so far

message 465: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 183 comments I am reading *deep breath* Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King (almost done and really like it), Nest by Terry Goodkind (meh but I refuse to leave a book incomplete) and last but not least...The Whispering Room! Only 200 pages left in Whispering and I have found myself enjoying more as I am getting towards the end.

message 470: by Lori (new)

Lori | 10 comments I remember listening to Hideaway on audio (in the year 2000) along with my husband and we absolutely loved it! I semi-recently started THE SILENT CORNER. I am also reading several Odd Thomas books that I missed. So far, so good!

I remember reading a book or two by Harlan Coben and he is a great writer! There are so many good writers, great stories and things to keep up with but finding the time to read really stinks.

Perfect Nightmare :-) I've read that a couple of times. I got into John Saul as a teenager, before I met Dean Koontz. John has stopped writing, he's a nice a person.

I'm currently reading Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Has anyone read Ready Player One? Been hearing a lot about it because there is a movie coming out soon. Been thinking maybe I should read the book.

I read it. As far as I can recall, I really enjoyed it, too. I don't remember if I wrote a review of it or not. (Just how long have I been in my reviewing slump? ???)

EDIT/UPDATE: I DID review it. My review of Ready Player One is here. :-)

Thanks Jen :-) I'm gonna try to read Ready Player One in 2018. The Movie won't be in theaters until March 30th so I think I'll easily be able to get through the book before then.

A Wrinkle in Time will be released as a film on March 9th, so I'm gonna try to read that one too. I don't remember reading the book.


message 482: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 183 comments Ive only gotten through the first few pages of Ready Player One because I keep getting bogged down in all the pop culture references (the novel has footnotes lol). One of these days I will muster up the focus to read the book for the story and look at footnotes later.

A map of the World by Jane Hamilton (Christmas present) Really good so far but sad, sad, sad.


message 497: by Charissa (new)

Charissa Wilkinson (lilmizflashythang) | 271 comments Gave up on "Echo Burning." It turns out, Mr. Child, uh, hated Texas. And doesn't know the first thing about us.
