I'm reading Brother by James Frederick. Started it last night and stayed up way too late because I couldn't put it down. Have a couple of others started, but Brother will require finishing before I can get back to them. A legal thriller with lots of tension and suspense!Not that I don't have enough in my current TBR stack, but here are the most recent additions to my list of books that sound good:
The Annie Seymore series by Karen E. Olsen
The Ursula Marlow series by Claire Langley-Hawthorne
The Figure in the Shadows by John Bellairs (YA)
To Catch the Lightening by Alan Cheuse
The House on Tradd Street by Karen White
Drood by Dan Simmons
Simon & Schuster have a weekly podcast.
Stefanie of So Many Books wrote about library elf, but my library isn't listed. Maybe I should let them know about it.
AH! You have a copy of "Drood" already? I'm still waiting for my Advanced Copy of "Drood" to be shipped over to Dubai! Envious!
ReplyDeleteOrpheus - No, I just want one!
ReplyDeleteThe books on the list are books I've seen reviews of and want to read.
I have a stack I'm working my way through, but I keep adding to my list of "want to reads" - Now, I'm envious that you have a copy on the way!
I've got an ARC of Drood waiting to be read right now. It's literally a doorstopper of a book, but it looks really, really good!
ReplyDeleteSince I liked The Terror so much I am really looking forward to Drood as it seems quite a few people are! If your library isn't on the Elf list, do email them. They even suggest it somewhere in their FAQs
ReplyDeleteKatherine -I really like the sound of Drood; I love fiction about real literary people. Doorstopper or not. :)
ReplyDeletestefanie - I added The Terror by Simmons to my list, too, after reading your review. I do think I'll email the library about the Elf list, thanks!
Uh-oh. Looks like I'm going to be adding to the wish list. I love legal thrillers.
ReplyDeleteI looked at library elf and there are only 3 libraries in the entire state of Mississippi listed. I think they've got a ways to go.

Jenclair, I'm going to be strong and only add Brother to my list. The others I'll decide about AFTER you review them, although I wanted to add them because the titles sound good.
ReplyDeletebookfool - That is the problem with cruising the book blogs! My list just keeps getting longer - I've also added An Abundance of Katherine's because of your review!
ReplyDeleteJanet - OK - I'll be there!
booklogged - I need to review Brother, but the other books are on my "I want a copy list" :)
