For a change of pace I'm now readingDare to Die. I love the quirky characters and the way the author includes the titles of other mysteries.


Lisa Gardner's books are really good Sarah! I'm glad you're enjoying it. WAre you into mystery/suspense novels?



Lisa Gardner is great! Once I read Alone, I had to read the rest of the series right away! I'm now reading her other series, which I'm loving too! She's definitely one of my favorites!

I am currently reading Glory in Death by J.D. Robb which is second in the In Death series and I am loving it. Fast paced, set in the future, with murder and romance. Excellent so far.

I really don't get all the hype with GWDT. I felt the writing was poor (or perhaps the translation) and there were times when paragraphs would drag on with dribble I could care less about.

I just started Tana French's "Broken Harbor". It's the first book of her's I've read. So far, she has an interesting voice in her characters but the details are dragging the story into the slow lane. Anyone else read her work?

Just got In the Woods but haven't started it yet. It's a big book so hope it doesn't drag too much. When I'm finished will let you know.

You may like it Linda, that was only my opinion. I guess when we follow a series of books we become familiar with the characters and when the author changes them we're left thinking, no they wouldn't act that way.

Lisa Gardner is another great crime thriller author, I have read one book and really enjoyed it.

Just finished David Mark's The Dark Winter, a little slow to start but gets better about half way through.
Just starting lee Child The Hard Way

I read this series off and on (since it's so long) but I absolutely love it! I haven't read a book that I didn't like yet and I'm on #20! Happy reading!
Thanks Aiesha! I am aiming to read all the books in the series this year as a challenge. I just hope I don't get bored.

I posted my review at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... in case you're interested.

As an aside, I just tried to post something about my own new book but didn't succeed because I was informed I needed something in the context. Couldn't figure out what that meant. I'm new to this site.

Looks interesting. I put it on my Kindle Wish List.

The second book I'd like to recommend is Equity of Evil by Rudy Mazzocchi. His novel relates to the medical field also, and I found it impossible to put down. He has also written a second book, Equity of Fear, which I haven't read.

In the Woods is the first in the series, then The Likeness...I've read and loved both of those, and am up to #3 in the series, Faithful Place then Broken Harbor...I would recommend they be read in order, because of the characters, but that said, I'm sure you could read them as stand alones as well:) I hope you enjoy it Connie!


I definitely understand! That's a great challenge and hopefully with those crazy characters, you won't get bored. They make me laugh in every book... but I do find that I have to take a break to read other things just to change up the pace.
