All my Dean Koontz re-reads are done via audiobook. I am a slow reader, so I would not be able to read the monthly group reads without the help of audiobooks.

The only one I have heard of is the Ivy Elgin Series Book One, slated for 2017:

It would be strange if he didn't release at least one book in 2016. Typically there is a December Release.

I loved it :-) Hope you do too!"
loving it Dustin reminds me of the Odd Thomas Series which i will have to get back too

I really like the author (my first time reading anything from him) because he creates characters and scenes that are so cozy real while using real places that I am familiar with and, as a person with a disability myself who lived on the same property with my grandparents as well as living with them and growing up with them... I can really relate. The only difference is I did not murder my grandparents and my grandparents were not murdered as their means of death.

I read book one. Sounds like I should read book two.
What is Never, Never?

Never, Never is a series by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher. It's a trilogy, but all the books novella length, so they're a very quick read :)

I'm just starting on The Choice by Nicholas Sparks before starting on another Dean Koontz book.

I didn't realize there were 3 Miss Peregrine Books.
I also like short books so I will look into Never, Never.
Thank you for the recommendations.

One of my favorite books by Dean Koontz :-) I remember reading Relentless in 2009 and that is what prompted me to join Goodreads - Relentless & Dean Koontz.

Have you read other Joe Hill books? If so, which ones are your favorites? I have only read Heart-Shaped Box.

I finished it last night and it definitely moved up on the list of favorite novels by Koontz. It was a terrific read. That is a great idea for a tattoo. I have part of a cover of a Terry Brook's novel tattooed on my back. Our love of books affect us in so many ways.

I am currently reading Fledgling by Octavia Butler. This book is about vampires, sexuality, community and family. I'm a little over half-way through.


Wonderful book! There's drama, humor, great visual scenes. Gonna be a movie, once the second book comes out next year..

I haven't listened to it. I am old school CD and haven't found it in that form.

A lump of concrete dropped deliberately from a little stone bridge over a relatively unfrequented road kills the wrong person. The driver behind is spared. But only for a while...
One particular member of the local press is gunning for the Chief Inspector, distinctly unimpressed with what he regards as old-fashioned police methods. But Wexford, with his old friend and partner, Mike Burden, along with two new recruits to the Kingsmarkham team, pursue their inquiries with a diligence and humanity that make Ruth Rendell’s detective stories enthralling, exciting and very touching.
Whodunit?
