November Challenge - Choose this month's read via the Literature Map

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Some of you may have heard of and used the Literature Map before - it's always a lot of fun. Click on the link, type in your favourite author, then read a book by the author closest to your favourite. Make sure it's in the corresponding genres of Crime, Mystery, Thriller or Suspense:)

Make sure you link your choices here so others can check them out...



You might be lucky enough to find another author to add to your reading delights! Enjoy!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

I know, it scares me actually Zoey! I own "A" as it was free, so I really should read it!!!

[Janine]

I put in David Baldacci and got Lee Child so will read Personal
I also put in Lisa Jackson and got Beverly Barton so will read
After Dark

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Well done Janine! I hope you enjoy them both!

[Carolyn]

I put in Janet Evanovich (as I felt like something light after the gritty Scottish novels this month)and got J.D. Robb. Which is perfect since I haven't read any of hers and have Naked in Death on my kindle :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Woohoo how exciting Carolyn :)

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

I put in Kathy Reichs and got Jeffrey Deaver so I will start his Katherine Dance series with The Sleeping Doll

[Zoey]

I put in Tara Moss & got James Patterson he wasnt actually the closest, but the closer ones weren't really crime writers. Like Sophie Kinsella and Nicholas Sparks neither of which I have a problem with but they dont really fit this group :)
So, Im going to read Now You See Her

The literature map is fun but it is far from accurate! You often have to make a few adjustments like that Zoey.

Jeffery Deaver is another of those authors my husband likes and he has a huge collection of them. Great for me because it saves me acquiring yet more books. I still have to read his David Baldacci collection, oh and Harlan Coben and Michael Connolly. Meanwhile he is reading my J.D. Robbs

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

What a great collection..they're my favourite authors too:) Good taste your husband :)

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

Brenda wrote: "What a great collection..they're my favourite authors too:) Good taste your husband :)"

He has. It's just that he has been reading that kind if book for years whereas I only came to them more recently. I'm catching up fast though:)

[Kadi]

I picked Tess Gerritsen which then gave me Karin Slaughter so I have chosen to read Blindsighted

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

A great choice Kadi!

[Sally906]

I am reading Resorting to Murder by Aussie authorK.J. Emrick.

She was the closest author that I had a book of on my TBR pile and was a cosy book. :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

How's everyone going with their literature map reads? Finding it a lot of fun to choose another author?

[Sharon]

Last night I started reading my literature map read : Red Queen by Honey Brown and I'm really enjoying it so far :)

[Sally906]

I was surprised to see how long this series is - 39 books now - especially since I'd never heard of it (although have heard of JD Robb). I like Eve Dallas, the main character in this and also like the futuristic aspect of it.

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

Eve gets better and better as the series progresses. So does Roarke.

[Zoey]

Finished Now You See Her by James Patterson A really good action packed thriller 4.5 ★

[Carolyn]

At the moment in the book, Roarke is a suspect but clearly taken with Eve. He sounds pretty hot!

There are quite a few ladies who have him as their fantasy fictional man :)

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

I just hope they never make any of these books into a movie. I do not want my imaginary Roarke spoiled by some actor:)

[Carolyn]

Aha! I shall have to read on then and see if he and a Eve keep up the sexual tension or she gives in to his powers of persuasion! Lol!!
