This is one of my favorite Wallander books. The new season III is totally out of sync with the last Wallanders. I cannot figure out who the woman is that he is living with and where she came from in the episode titled An Event in Autumn.

Currently reading The Age of Miracles

This is one of my fav..."

Apparently her name is Vanja? And the little boy? I could listen Alan Cummings introduce it all night! (Although Diana Rigg was pretty great, too.)

Finished reading The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver. Review link at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Started reading Stalking The Angel by Robert Crais.

Am finally getting around to Inspector Troy in John Lawton's Black Out. And am enjoying it.

I'm liking Black Out, too.

Actually as I got into it, I discovered that I had read at least some of them before and had reviewed this one! Gosh, so many books I want to read, and so little time in comparison to get that reading done.....

[Elli]

I think John Lawton is a pretty great author. He's well rounded on the subjects he chooses to write about...and I'm never too far away from the WW1 & 2 periods, and he is not difficult to read. A very drawing you into it until you a crucial player as well, sort of like Alan Furst in that way. And just the right amount of humor and amount of disrespect for revered traditions to give it color and personality, certainly not iconoclastic. And everybody, but everybody is human...no matter how above it all they are trying so hard to be....

Finished A Wanted Man . I know you'll all be shocked but Reacher saved the day again and said very little while doing it! (grinning) I just love him sooo muhuhuhuhuhch!!!

LOL Jeanie. I'd bet you weren't picturing Tom Cruise while you were reading it.

I finished Trickster's Point, another great entry in this wonderful series. Now I'm happy to be starting Delusion in Death. I'm going to try to force myself not to speed-read through it like I usually do with these books.

Me too. I'm trying to finish three books I'm already in the middle of so I can read this one!

[Barb]

I've just been introduced to Jack Reacher -- our book club read the first in the series a few months ago -- and I can't wait to read more and get to know him better :)

[Teresa]

I'm reading Think of a Number by John Verdon Think of a Number

I'm 25% finish and I love the back and forth scene build up.

I've found the best way to really enjoy Jack is to leave a great deal of your rational brain behind. Some of the books in the series are completely believable, and others... not so much. So, when you read them (or listen to them like I do)just sit back and enjoy Jack, himself, and his ability to, not only unwillingly get caught up into some impossible situation, but also his ability to fight his way out of it! If you do that, you'll never fail to be entertained by these books.

[Jeanie]

Dorie wrote: "LOL Jeanie. I'd bet you weren't picturing Tom Cruise while you were reading it."

You're in sooo much trouble. (laughing) I have a very accurate picture of Jack in my brain... and no, that picture does not resemble "he who shall not be named" in any way. (grin)

I just finished Six Suspects, a mystery set in India, by the author of Slum Dog Millionaire (the book was titled Q&A) and I quite enjoyed. I liked the way the book was formatted; introducing the suspects, working through how they ended up at the crime scene and the final resolution. I'm over half way through A Clash of Kings and have been totally enjoying. About to start A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick.

[Julie]

Lol! I agree!

[Theresa]

Just finished and enjoyed it once I got into it. Will now start reading Broken Promises, #8 in the series. I love Terri Reid!

Reading Only One Life and an ARC of The One I Left Behind: A Novel

[Ben]

I just started Cold Service by Robert B. Parker. Been a while since I read a Spenser novel.

I'm finding that to be the case in more and more books lately. Fortunately, that's usually not much of a problem for me :)

I've got a copy! (waving audio copy at Sharon and Dorie) I'll be busy listening today! Dorie,
Iron Lake was fabulous! After re-reading The Camel Club & finding a copy of Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson for the group reads, I'll be starting Boundary Waters. Can't wait!

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I finished The Way You Look Tonight - Claire Matthews, which was a good short story Chick Lit. Now I have finally decided to read Design on a Crime - Ginny Aiken.

I have decided to do an A-Z of Authors over the next 12 months, plus add other books into the mix. Meaning reading at least 2 letters a month if possible.

Just finished Luther: The Calling. Very good thriller, gave it 4 stars. Just started Mandibles.

[Jannene]

I just finished . It was okay. I am going back to my mysteries again.

[Poornima]

Finished "Little Face" by Sophie Hannah, Gripping mystery, un-putdownable!

Hi Gatorman, Have you seen the TV series Luther on the BBC?

[[deleted user]]

I recently finished reading the entire Phryne Fisher mystery series by Kerry Greenwood-- 18 volumes so far and a new installment on the way. Very fun series I highly recommend for anyone looking for a lighter historical mystery series.

Currently reading the Alafair Tucker mystery series by Donis Casey. I've finished the first three, The old buzzard had it coming, Hornswoggled and The drop edge of yonder and they were fantastic. Historically accurate and wonderful characterizations. I just started the 4th book, The sky took him. A terrific, under-rated series. Right now you can get the first book for free for Kindle and the subsequent volumes at a reduced price.

If it's possible to have a favorite publisher, then I have one-- Poisoned Pen Press is killing my book reading budged, but these 2 mysery series, plus all of the other's I've purchased since I got my Kindle for iPad have been well worth the cost.

[Sharon]

Oh, my ... one of those!

I got this book anticipating a rather light, humorous almost 'cozy' type of mystery plus I lived most of my life in the area where it is set.

It is funny, but not for the reasons the author intended.

Note to authors, if you're going to write about something you know nothing about, particularly if it involves the incident the plot revolves around, at least talk to someone who can tell you that 'it doesn't work that way" ...

[Mikela]

Just finished The Likeness, which I enjoyed, and am currently reading both The War of the End of the World and M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham, a light cozy mystery.

[Scott]

Recently finish In The Moon of the Red Ponies by James Lee Burke on audio, as excellent as all his stuff. Just finished The Killing Game by Jay Bonansinga, good writing but the story got too over the top for me as it went along--probably give it a 3.5.

Reading The Tethered Goat by Jeremiah Healy.

[Dipanjan]

Here goes my latest review:

[Jannene]

I just started . It is this month's book read. My first Baldacci book and I hope that I like it.

[Carol/Bonadie]

NR Spilled Blood . Love Brian Freeman's series and this is just as good so far.

[Mikela]

my review

[Bill]

I just finished A Clash of Kings and found it so very engrossing. I will definitely be reading Book 3 next month. At the moment I'm also reading A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick and will be starting A Study In Scarlet, the first Sherlock Holmes story. Looking forward to it.

[Alex]

Just finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson a very long read which would have benefited from the services of a good editor. Starts right at the point that The Girl Who Played with Fire finished. I'm glad I've read it but there were big chunks that could have been left out that were quite frankly really boring consequently it took me nearly 4 weeks to finish! Have now started Killing Hour by Andrew Gross.

[JB]

I felt the same about the first book, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. One boring page I still remember is one that lists all of the items the girl bought at Ikea.

[Anita]

For suspense and thrills, I recommend The Survivor: A Novel by Gregg Hurwitz.

Love Gregg Hurwitz ... he's very underrated!!!

I started The Perfect Husband this weekend while waiting for the next installment in the In Death series at the library. The next day, I got the email telling me that Reunion in Death was ready to check out so... I will be reading both of them! I'm in LOVE with the In Death series & really enjoy Lisa Gardner's writing style. Looking forward to both of them! :-)

[Sharon]

Well into which is a new author for me and I'm finding this both a bit different from the usual internation mystery/thriller and a page-turner despite not having a great deal of action and pages of investigation detail.

Not what I'd expect to be high on my favorites list but I think it's going to end up there.
