Currently Reading? Just Finished?

Oh, thank goodness. I thought it was just me about Sookie. I have read the two stand-alones too. Was 'Sweet and Deadly' the one that started with the body in the shack at the edge of the old cotton field? I seem to recall that wasn't my favorite either. So it makes a bit o' sense that it was her first novel.
I really keep wishing she'd give us more Harper. I'll be looking forward to your books! Write on, Anne, write on.

Yes, "Sweet and Deadly" was the one that started off with the body in the shack! It's also the only book of hers that I've read that was written in third person rather than first--I think making the switch to first person helped her storytelling.
I agree--more Harper, please! And thanks! I will definitely keep you posted once I get ready to publish my Harper-esque paranormal series :) I have my first novel, "Murder At Castle Rock" being released at the end of this month in paperback (ebook to follow in May or June, depending on the formatting turnaround time of my publisher). It doesn't have a paranormal angle, but I enjoyed writing it because I love live music and set it in a concert venue. Hopefully people will enjoy it!


Just bought my copy yesterday Dorie!



I just finished Guilt as well, and really enjoyed it:)

Just finished another Jack Reacher novel.
Lee Childs never lets you down with his gripping, fast paced novels. Read The Hard Way.
Great, exciting book

Hope you enjoy it too! I'm trying to pace myself but it's hard.

I know, they are so enjoyable that you can zoom through them, then it's finished and you're waiting again!

I'm currently reading a Lily Bard mystery, Shakespeare's Trollop by Charlaine Harris and Stamboul Train: an Entertainment by Graham Greene. Enjoying both so far.

Though I do love the tv show, I think the books are much better, also. I love the whole series and can never wait for the next one to come out. It would be hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to it would be Ice Cold. Spooky!

It was nice to read something that mentioned my home town as well!

You'll have to let me know what you think. I really enjoyed The Company Man and have several of his other titles on my to-read list.

Right now I am reading "Nemesis" and luckily so far I enjoy it.

ok thanks for the heads up.


STIFF has been sitting on my shelf since Goodreads still had a book exchange! That toe-tag just staring at me saying: "Read me. Read me not. Read me...."
How'd you like it?


Okay, so I had a change of heart and I am going to read my TBR Pal selection, The Surgeon.

Interested to see what you think of this one. Once upon a time Cornwall was one of my favorites. I quit reading her about three books ago but some reviewers are saying this books is more like her older books.

Blood in the Water by Slater Jackson
Thanks Jonathan:)

You can't go wrong with "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold". It's an espionage classic.
Kind of wondering if there are any Archer Mayor Fans out there.


I'm currently reading Tiger Paw by Charles A. Cornell and it's excellent!

Maui Widow Waltz




might I disagree? It is not really the end, she just reinvents her series into a new light. Many authors get stalled in their series and get burned out. I think Slaughter took her two separate series and wove them into a new powerful series.

On another thread I'm in, Gone Girl's ending was pretty seriously savaged. Contrived was the consensus. Let us know your impression.
