I just got a copy of this the other day. I will start reading it as soon as I finish my current novel. I've heard nothing but great things about this one, so I can't wait to read if for myself. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

(laughing) And I thought I was bad about reading too many books at one time! You rock, Jennifer!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finally finished The Truce - E. Milan. Now I think I will read The Guardian's Apprentice - J. Michael Radcliffe.

[Sharon]

Just finished Death by a Honeybee. Everything worked until the end and the end was a cliff hanger, which is one of my biggest pet peeves.

[Jan C]

Stayed up late finishing Stuart MacBride's Dying Light last night. Felt like it lagged somewhere in the middle. But I liked the finish.

[Max F]

Just finished The Wolves of Fairmount Park by Dennis Tafoya - a gritty crime novel that takes place in Philadelphia. Solid story with good characters, good dialogue and excellent descriptions and mood settings. Very well done, and I want to read his first novel now.

[Barbara]

I finished Feast Day Of Fools by James Lee Burke, a Hackberry Holland mystery. Complex and compelling story. 4 stars for me.

[Jeanie]

Just completed all Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon books! (taking a bow), and they were all read in order. (evil grin)

[Sharon]

Reading Poison Flower: A Jane Whitefield Novel from the library.

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Started The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz. I'm not impressed so far. Written in a style for middle school readers. Pretty horrible for a restart on the Sherlock Holmes series official Doyle family approved book.

[R.P.]

I just finished The Wonder of Ordinary MagicThe Wonder of Ordinary Magic Lovely book with very well defined characters and a startly finish that surprises. I'll do a review shortly

Oh, thank goodness. I thought it was just me. I tried. I really did.

[Sharon]

Finished Poison Flower: A Jane Whitefield Novel and have now started Snow Blind.

Renee. : )

Not just you! I adore Doyle's writing. Horowitz - not so much.

Just my opinion.

[Michael]

I am currently reading "The Secret Speech" by Tom Rob Smith and listening to "The Reversal" by Michael Connelly.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished Bryant and May and the Memory of Blood and just so enjoyed this quirky unit. Have now started Dorchester Terrace and Monday Mornings: A Novel.

[TK421]

I just recently finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I know it's already been reviewed to hell and back, but if you're interesting you can find my own take on the book here

Jonathon - what are your favorite nerd mysteries?

[Alex]

Reading The Rome Prophecy by Jon Trace not a bad book but I am getting a little bored with it. Might be because I started it straight after reading The Venice Conspiracy which I thoroughly enjoyed. This one isn't nearly as good or dramatic. The ex priest angle was novel in the first book but doesn't have nearly as much impact in the second book. Can't wait to finish and move on to Bleed for Me the next book on my shelf!

[Julie]

just finished sizzling sixteen by Janet Evanovich. Currently reading a Wild Justice which is historical romance, but could be filed under romantic suspense and mystery as well. So far I love it.

I'm exactly 50% through 'Bleed For Me' and enjoying it. One of Robotham's better efforts I think. I don't seem to have enough hours in the day to read as much as I would like or else I'd probably read it straight through.

[Mark]

I'm reading Matthew Dunn's Spycatcher (which I believe is titled Spartan in the UK). Enjoyable James Bond style stuff. If it ends well I think I'll be adding him to my list of regulars.

Funny you mention that. I read mostly vintage mysteries, and therefore I haven't really read that many mysteries that delved very deep into the technological aspect. Your question piqued my interest, though, and a quick search on Amazon turned up a list of books that look like they might fit the bill. Looks like my "wish list" just got a little bit longer. :)

I have this one but have not started it yet. Let us know how you like it?

[Barbara]

I finished Until Thy Wrath Be Past by Åsa Larsson, a Rebecca Martinsson mystery set in Sweden. Larsson's books are very good - highly recommended.

[Tim]

just finished now back to

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Jonathon - there is a podcast by a guy called 'Security Now' by Steve Gibson. You can get it through ITunes. The real reason I mention him, though, is that he has an occasional science fiction novel recommendation. I think if you go on hs website, you might find somewhere a list of recommended reads. I found them all excellent. One was 'Daemon' by Daniel Suarez. The next in the series is 'Freedom'. He also recommended The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell (this was an ick for me) and Helfort's War series by Graham Sharp Paul (another ick for me). I recommend even the ick ones because I'm a 58 year old female and not a young male nerd. These series are very popular in the male nerd world, I guess. I DID love the Daemon series!

[Brandon]

Once I'm through with Harry Potter and jack Ketchum, I plan to go through the whole of the Millennium series. I've already read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, though I think I'll read it again.



by Stieg Larsson

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Reading the Sword-Edged Blonde, a genre crossing quick read. It is a sword fantasy featuring a Bogart (famous Hollywood 1940's movie star) style private detective. I like it. It's by Alex Bledsoe.

[Sharon]

Just started Fat Assassins Not sure what I think of it yet, slow getting into the 'assassins' part and a bit 'slapstick' ... but I could not resist the title.

[Shannon]

Right now i am reading

[Michael]

I'm just getting into

[D.G.]

I'm reading . I'm never crazy about books with assassins as main characters so I was wondering how the author was going to bring this about. It started a bit slow but it's going really well now and I'm really enjoying learning more about Japanese culture (book is set in Tokyo.)

This is a really good book to listen to in audio because there are some tidbits of Japanese and listening to them is definitely better to get into the whole plot.

[D.G.]

Looooved that book!

Amerikan Eagle looks amazing! I'll def. check it out.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Guardian's Apprentice - J. Michael Radcliffe. Now I am going to read Falling Immortality: Casey Holden, Private Investigator - Robert Downs.

I am about 200 pages into another Swedish psychological thriller
The Hypnotist: A Novelwhich is very dark about a young boy filled with so much rage that he commits acts upon his family as well as himself.
I thought to myself "Wow there must be a lot of violence in Sweden" but today I picked up our local
paper and a young man slashed and shot his father
and cut his mother with his father's collection of knives. Total surprise as this was reality similar to the fiction I was reading. Scares me! What is happening out there?
The book is good, intense, plot twists. I am anxious to see how it ends. Hope there is some
hope in its resolution.

[Georgia]

Brandon, Go see the movies, either Swedish version or American of I have not seen the American Version yet, but loved the book and the Swedish film

[Tim]

Tried to get into based on good reviews and pumped up author ratings... too many days of only four or five pages. I will suspend and start which also comes highly rated. If I don't like it I am going to have to go back to Crais or another of my favorites. Unfortunately my library system doesn't carry all of Richard Montanari's books. I am currently enjoying his crime series - those available.

[Jeanie]

I'm working my way through the Louise Penny's...an easy job thusfar. (grin)

[Jennifer]

Just finished The Drop . I do love Harry Bosch and this was one of the best.

[Linda]

I just finished by William Landay. A very good book and I did not see the end coming at all - I was totally surprised....

[Jeanie]

I completely agree. It was a fabulous book!

[Abhay]

Finished Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life by Neil Strauss

That sounds really scary! :) But I put it in my WL at the library so I'll get it one of these days.
