From the author of the Charlotte Fox books, this is a new, unrelated series. Promising so far. She's a terrific writer.

Peace,

This sounds good. I'll have to check it out!

[Tim The Enchanter]

I have been reading Under Enemy Colors. A great historical novel with action and adventure on the high seas. Really enjoying it so far.

[Lance]

I finished Poison Pill last week. I'll have to wait for my review to come out on Criminal Element before I can post a summary here. A potentially decent story sabotaged by amateurish writing. Two stars.



Now reading and ARC of Outlaw: A Robin Monarch Novel , also for Criminal Element.

[Travis]

Started Way of the Wolf

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I enjoyed Way of the Wolf, Travis. Haven't picked up the others in the series yet.

[Tad]

I just finished The Return by Michael Gruber. Really good! Now I'm on to Never Go Back by Lee Child.

[Magiccats]

I am reading The Caliph's House: A year in Casablanca by Tahir Shah. Finding it very humerous and interesting.

needed a break from the usual genre that I read.

Reading James Patterson's 1st To Die.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'm currently listening to The Road to Gandolfo by Robert Ludlum narrated by Scott Brick. It's great.

Anyone who likes Ludlum-esque spy stories and Espionage Thrillers whill get a kick out of this. I never expected Ludlum to have a sense of humor like this, nor Scott Brick to pull it off so well. It's a great performance and the story is funny. In many ways, it's as much a satire of the world today as it was the Vietnam War Era it was written in. It's good.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Okay, this is unexpectedly good. If you like the Ludlum spy stories, and I do, and you like audiobooks, by necessity - I do, then this is a gem. I didn't expect serious talking Scott Brick the Narrator to have a funny bone in his body. Yet, he pulls off the jokes like a pro. And best of all, Ludlum's poking fun at his own books novels and characters, and james bond and I think some Desmond Bagely pokes are in here too.


This is good.

You'll like it, and on this one, the audiobook is a lot of fun too. Scott Brick's voice is ussually like the "narrator's voice'" on tose old 60s and 70s cartoons (the "serious ones"). He uses it to full advantage here.


I've laughed aloud listening several times. already. Very's 70s and 60s ish though.

Read the author's note "foreward" too. That's hilarious.

I'm halfway done with and I'm enjoying. A good story just need it to move along a little faster.

On the lighter side, I'm reading it's a fast read and every page I laugh out loud. Can't go wrong with laughing.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'm reading The Thousand Names. It's got a lot of action. It's an unusual fantasy story, more alternate reality with all the trimmings of Napoleonic war and The War of 1812. Muskets and soldiers.

Part of it brought me back to Navy Bootcamp where I was put in a rifle company and had to learn to march formations. "FORM A square" That's not one I learned but I did learn oblique marching and maneuvering. As the RCPO, I got to give the orders.

And the battle action is pretty cool. Reminds me of Little Round Top in the TNT Movie "Gettysburg". Intense, on the ground eyes in front.

Re your on the lighter side, had you read the earlier books in this series? Were they good too? I have them but no chance to read them yet and just wondered if they were funny too.

I've read the entire series and loved everyone one of them. There light fun brain candy.

[Magiccats]

Thanks Eileen, I may start one after I finish the book I am reading now. I will likely be in need of a fun read.

Started Inferno by Dan Brown.

Road to Gandolfo is my favorite Ludlum book -- bar none -- because for once, he's in on the joke.

[Lance]

Just finished Outlaw: A Robin Monarch Novel . If you can get past the ninth-level suspension of disbelief needed for the basic premise, it's a pretty good read. Author Sullivan, an escapee from the Patterson factory, can tell a tale, and his hero isn't as superheroic as the alpha males in these sorts of stories often are (that's a good thing for me). I'd give it 3.5 stars if we could give half-stars; once I write the review for Criminal Element, I'll figure out whether I'll round up or down.



Starting Hot Art: Chasing Thieves and Detectives Through the Secret World of Stolen Art . Yes, there's a reason I'm reading all these art-crime books.

Finished and ending in a weighty place is probably a good way to put it without giving anything away.

What did think of the ending? (view spoiler)[I thought it was a fairly predictable Brown book until the end. Very pleasantly surprised. (hide spoiler)]

I thought the end was the best bit. The rest was a really a travelogue of Florence. I do want to read the next one now due to the ending.

It reminded me of a book called Gray Redemption with a similar end to it.

Travelogues are more direct and to the point. That was my last Dan Brown novel. If he thinks he can write down everything his tour guide says and have readers buy it, he should start over.

Even though I'm not a fan of the TV show, a friend talked me into reading:

Picked Black Karma for my next read. Anyone read it?

[Patricia]

I bailed lately in favor of Nat'l Geograpic. Interesting issue on photography. About all I can do is look at the pictures until I get my cataracts off. I was one week away from so doing when I had the stroke.

It is the only magazine I take, and I still get behind. My next adventure will be the last issue. (Sept.)

[Sharon]

Started and am finding it very good. Plot revolves primarily around the Bermuda Triangle and a project to identify language in dolphins and the work with them appeals to me, naturally.

[David]

Started reading my October KOLL, which features 3 short novels: Ogmios: The Origins Series. Team Ogmios was featured in

The 1st book I am reading in this collection is

Then I also started another action thriller:

Sounds like a good one. Have you seen the movie The Day of the Dolphin?...one of my favorites!

Unfortunately not. I very rarely go to movies. Nearly finished with this book though and it's one of the best A/A books I've read for awhile.

[Sharon]

Finished Breakthroughand yes, haven't started dinner and the laundry is still sitting where it was!

I've been an A/A reader for many years, from Alistair MacLean and Desmond Bagley on through Clive Cussler and some of the current ones. Have to say judging by this book, Grumley is going to hold his own in very good company.

[Jim]

I am almost done with A Beautiful Heist. I love the MC. She's talented, funny and hot. The story is filled with twists and turns. It gets a little crazy, but that's all right. This will make a fantastic television series. Check it out!!

[Jim]

I just finished A Beautiful Heist by Kim Foster.

The main character is fantastic. The jewel heist background is fascinating. The laughs are off the chart. If you are a GOLFER, there's a bit in there that is priceless. If you are not a GOLFER, it's still priceless. This will make for a rollicking movie.

Just started Blowback by Valerie Plame. This is the real deal, so you can't pass this one up.

[Ctgt]

Not A/A but


About 1/3 of the way through Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensic Lab the Body Farm Where the Dead Do Tell Tales.

Right now I am reading Nothing to Lose. Nothing beats Reacher and Child
