Not until I catch up to you and Christine lol"

I probably wouldn't have read so many books by now, but the spouse has been ill with some sort of mystery illness (finally demystified as of two weeks ago thank god) and had three different surgeries on one retina, so I spent countless hours reading in parking lots of different medical facilities since March.

I've finished The Villa and the Vortex: Selected Supernatural Stories, 1914-1934 just in time for my usual October creepy reading fest. Also finished The Trees, by Percival Everett, which I couldn't put down once started. Once again I have too many book choices so I have no idea what to read next.

Sounds like you have a theme going here -- people found buried in ice.

Nancy, I know! And both books address climate change as well.

Last Seen Alive by Joanna Schaffhausen

Police detective Ellery Hathaway confronts the serial killer she escaped from years before.

Plenty of suspense and surprises. 3.5 stars

I read the Indridason and he did a great job with climate change there, for sure.

Sorry to hear about your husband. Hope he is doing well.

As for your reading, I'm always impressed that you get consistent quantity AND quality. That's hard to do.

Thanks, RJ -- very kind of you. He's so much better now, heading in the right direction, and I'm so grateful to the one doctor (of many) who actually found what was wrong. But really, I didn't mind the parking lot reading even in summer. Re consistency: I tend to choose books which I think I'll like rather than what's trendy at the moment -- I generally don't have much luck with those.

The Chaos Kind by Barry Eisler

This combines characters from his two other most popular series. As this is the first thing I've read from this author, I can easily report that it works fine as a standalone. Spies on spies action.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Aussie journalist and author Tim Ayliffe's John Bailey is the war-weary journo who discovers what working for The Greater Good really means. Dirty politicians, spies, criminals. Murder in contemporary Sydney. Love it!

Fields Where They Lay by Timothy Hallinan

Junior Bender #6, OK to read as a stand-alone. It's Christmas and Junior, having been forced to take a scary job from a scary guy, is hip deep in alligators. Tim has done it again. An absolutely wonderful mystery/adventure with a little humor thrown in. 5 stars, highest recommendation.

I just finished The Twelve (aka The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville. It was a thriller of a read and very fast paced. It was also very grim and graphic.

I'm still waiting on the spoiler thread to discuss it in the monthly reads forum

Recently finished New York to Dallas by J.D. Robb. I've been reading this series for about 20 years, now. And, while it doesn't come up in my reading rotation all that much, I still enjoy her books. At least, in this series. J.D. Robb is actually Noah Roberts and I just don't read romance novels.

Now, back to The Expanse series. I'll be starting Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey.

After reading a few chapters of Pay Dirt Road in the Minotaur Sampler, I decided I liked it well enough to request the book - and I got it! Here's my review:

The Catch by Mick Herron
This is a novella featuring John Bachelor. While set in the same milieu as Herron's Slough House series, this story runs independently of it and can be read as a standalone.
