I always enjoy the Alex Cross books even if they are cranked out very quickly. I enjoyed that this one had a little different setting (I won't spoil it for anyone) so it made it a bit different. It was great for the plane ride and late nights on vacation with quick chapters I could always find a stopping place.

I always love Alex Delaware books and this one did not disappoint. It was a great story and I enjoyed the twists and turns it took along the way.





I really enjoyed this book - it's the second in the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Series. It was an easy, fun read and kept my attention (always necessary with a toddler).

Great thriller! I love his Camel Club characters and this did not disappoint.

This was pretty good - typical of the author - there were parts where I rolled my eyes, but it definitely kept moving once I got into and had some time to read.

Another light, cozy mystery. I had fun reading it after the high action thriller I read previously.

Good legal thriller as usual. I enjoyed this one much more than The Appeal (his last) but it still wasn't as good as some of his earlier books.

I enjoyed this one - good, quick read. I'm liking this character and hope that he sticks with it and continues the series.
13. Lethal Legacy by Linda Fairstein
Loved it as usual. Her books have great mysteries and storylines. Plus I love all the New York City history she includes in the storyline.

I keep telling myself that I'm not going to read her books again and I really should listen to myself. She's a great writer in terms of weaving words together, but her stories have gotten very formulaic and predictable.




Ashely, why is that, do you think? I've not read either author by herself - my only familiarity was one book that they wrote together.

I'm not sure how to explain it. I'm reading Mary's latest right now and it's just different. I feel like it's a little better plot and character development for sure. I guess the writing is a little more sophisticated - though that's not really the word for it.

22. Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris
23. All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris
24. From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
I've definitely gone a little crazy over the Sookie Stackhouse books - now I'm #131 on the library hold list for the latest one and then it will be major withdrawals until next May (though there are several short stories featuring Sookie or Sookie characters to pass the time).

26. The 8th Confession by James Patterson
27. Mommywood by Tori Spelling

The latest in the Sookie Stackhouse novels - great book! It tied up a couple loose ends, but really just left lots more issues open for future novels which I can't wait for.

30. The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly
31. Cemetary Dance by Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child
32. Swimsuit by James Patterson
33. Finger Lickin Fifteen by Janet Evanovich
34. Marked by P.C. Cast
35. Shadows Still Remain by Peter De Jonge
36. Daniel X: Watch the Skies by James Patterson
37. Blindman's Bluff by Faye Kellerman
38. Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner
It was a busy summer and I definitely get as much reading done as I had planned but I'm hoping with the shorter days that I'll get through a few more books this fall.
