I am reading the last Odd Thomas book "Saint Odd." I am enjoying the thus far.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

"Hideaway" is my favorite by DK. The ending is perfect. I am starting "Saint Odd" tonight.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I don't remember the ending, but I remember enjoying the book :-) My copy of SAINT ODD arrived Today!

[Meran]

Just finished Saint Odd.

I see things that could be carried over... Like what Steve King does. ;)

[Hil]

I'm still reading Innocence. For some reason I'm struggling with it, even though I thought I'd eat it up. I think it's all the jumping about in the timeline in such short chapters that's slowing me down.

[Angelique]

I just finished The City and I really liked it. Loved Jonah.

[Barbara]

I'm reading Saint Odd too fast!!!!

[Barbara]

I'm reading Saint Odd too fast!!!!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Too Fast? :-) I think that is a good thing.

[Hil]

Finished Innocence! Hallelujah! (review is on here if anyone wants to read it.) Now moving on to Remember Me by Mary Higgins Clark so a break from Koontz for a little while. Never read her before...

[Tracy]

I love Innocence! FASCINATING story!

[Hil]

Now reading Whispers for the first time (so far so familiar; I recognise this Frye guy from various other books, but the main female is called Hilary so I appreciate that!) and also rereading Seize the Night and savouring my time back in Moonlight Bay. I remember liking this one better than the first, but reading other reviews I realise there's so much I've forgotten in 15 years. In fact, the same can be said of other Koontz books I've read, which fills me with glee to think that I can reread them as if they were new (kind of) and maybe I don't have to ration them out so much as I have been.

Sorry to ramble!

[J.S.]

I'm currently rereading Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey. It's reawakening my old love of science fiction.

"A Good Marriage" in that collection scared the absolute living crap out of me.

I enjoyed Whispers. I've only read it once :-)

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Maybe it's time for me to re-read Full Dark, No Stars :-)

The reason it scared me so much was because it's a story that could actually happen in the real world. No supernatural creatures: the monster is purely human.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I think I will. Thank you Stephanie & J.S. for reminding me how much I enjoyed Full Dark, No Stars :-)

[Lacey]

I just finished the book, Odd Thomas, and it was....words can't even explain how much I lik-- Loved that book. If only the ending was different though. *sigh* However, pretty soon I'm going to be reading the second one, Forever Odd.

[Hil]

"My watch crystal was etched with eye tracks..." (from Seize the Night p280)

What does DK mean by that? He's describing a torturous wait for Bobby or Sasha to come home. Does he mean that he stared at his watch so long that it was like he etched the glass with his eyes? Or that the numbers off his watch were etched into his eyes? Or something else?

Glad you are loving Oddy Lacey. It's my favorite series.

[J.S.]

Currently reading Dragondrums by Anne McCaffrey!

Seems to me that he's just describing the scratched surface of the watch from looking at it so long, so much :-)

[Meran]

This is my year for reading very large books or very large sets of books...

So, I began The House of Niccolò by Dorothy Dunnett. 8 books! The first was dry in the writing, but the scenes she set were detailed (too much so, ponderous) yet quite funny. Historical, with many of the characters true to history.

I'm on the second book, The Spring of the Ram, the writing has greatly improved, and I am now looking forward to the rest.

Silly me... My curiosity got me to order the Companion to this series, and Wikipedia got me to order the 6 book set (and its companion book too) for the follow up set called the Lymond series. That's 16 books. I'm stupid

[Meran]

Oh. And I bought Koontz's Frankenstein series, for an in between the two heavy series... 5 more books! Hope it's worth it.

Did any of you like it?

I love the Frankenstein series and hope to reread them soon.

[Sam]

I'm reading 3 different book at the moment. The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King, The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, The Analyst by John Katzenbach

[Tracy]

I've been wanting to read The 5th Wave for a while. Let us know how you like it Sam. I've gotten a lot of mixed reviews about it.

[L.V.]

Unalive by Kevin Fitzgerald.

[J.S.]

I'm reading Revival by Stephen King.

Is it good? Do you recommend it? Maybe I should read Revival.

[E.]

Revival is good. I really liked the writing, characters and story, but for me the ending was...so-so. That seems to be the debating point of that book, the ending. Some absolutely love it.
Just finished Heartsick, with an excellent psychopath. Looking forward to the next in that series
About to start Invisible Monsters as a BOTM for another group. Looks...intriguingly interesting.
There are 2 versions. I'm going with the original. The "remix" looks like a lot of work, flipping back and forth between chapters.

Is it by Chelsea Cain? I love that series. Gretchen is awesome even if she is demented.

I'm only about 1/3 of the way through. No spoilers! :)

[Nora aka Diva]

Currently rereading Strangers. Oddly enough it wasn't was I was looking for when I started digging through my boxes of books but I guess I'm fickle. Lol

[Diane Lynch]

Mr. Murder. Back on schedule with group!

[E.]

Yes Tracy it was Cain's Heartsick with Gretchen. She's one freaky chick. Looking forward to another in the series.
I got on a roll with Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters that I also read Survivor, which was really good. They are both twisted, dark humor. I started looking for other humor/horror mash-ups and found My Life As A White Trash Zombie. It was so much fun I read the next two in the series all in about 5 days
Now I'm switching back to 'real' people being the monsters with "Nearest Thing To Crazy"

[Tracy]

I love the whole Gretchen & Archie series E. They are full of both humor and horror. I haven't read of My Life as a White Trash Zombie. Maybe I will check it out. Do you know of anymore Gretchen/Archie type books?

[Mary]

Revolution by Russell Brand

Enjoying Brands humor and also his ideas about government, justice, power, money, religion and almost any topic that floats through his demented genius brain.

[J.S.]

I'm reading Starshine by G. S. Jennsen. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but I am enjoying it so far.

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Today I started reading REVIVAL. It is a book by Stephen King that a few of you might have already read :-)

[Barbara]

Dustin.....I enjoyed Revival very much!!

[Jim]

Dustin.....I can top that :)

I am starting Carrie by Stephen King. I have never read it and I have never seen either movie version. All I know about the book is the famous prom scene.

[Barbara]

I'm reading The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buelhman.......enjoying it so far!!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

Nice. I read Carrie for the first time in 2009 soon after I joined Goodreads :-)

[Corey]

Tonight I'm starting The Funhouse, which is by Dean Koontz!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I am currently reading To Kill A Mockingbird and The Giver :-)

[Barbara]

I'm reading Vampires of Hollywood....The actress Adrienne Barbeau wrote it and it's kind of funny so far.
