I didn't get that far into it and quit. I didn't like it and gave up!

I know I saw the english version lol but I prefer to have the whole collection in portuguese because of the beautiful covers

I have that on my 2 read shelf.

Read: The Hunter

Lescroat, John. This book is not even on Good Reads.

The Runaway Pastor's Wife, Open Season and am reading now :DisappearThe Pastor's wife would be a christian cozy. The others more suspense.

I am reading The Cane Mutiny by Tamar Myers. I am about 3/4's of the way through. I enjoy the characters she has come up with and the antiques in her books. A combination of mystery and antiques is always a good thing to me!

I do like Clive Cussler! A good choice!

I'm reading My Lucky Life in and Out of Show Business

I finally was able to get it and am reading it. I finished my books above . I also started reading Predator . I do noy know why I like her book since there is so much I disagree with in them and this one seems worse than usual. Really creepy. Agatha Christi will give me a break from it.

I have never heard of this author. I will check him out since I am now going to a big library with almost and fiction you are looking for.

El príncipe de la niebla by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Murder of Roger Ackroyd, so many here mentioned what a great ending it has so having never read it before I wanted to give it a go.

** I do love Clive Cussler just get adventure stories a wonderful escape.

It's a great book. It was one of my first reads - within the Agatha Christie's works - and I loved it.

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

If you send some the basic info to the Goodreads Librarians, they'll add the book.

That book looked interesting to me Elizabeth, how is it?

I'm almost finished with Sunrise Alley, it's okay but not as good as some of the reviews say it is at least to me. I'm also listening to Spider's Bite, which I had read previously and liked, but am liking this narrator's interpretation of the book so much that I'm probably going to up my review.

It's pretty good. I'm not getting through it as fast as I would like though. There just seems to be others things I find myself doing right now. Also, I've never read this many books in one year, and I think I may be slowing down a bit. I was reading books very quickly earlier in the year. I would certainly not talk anyone off this book. There are some very interesting insights and tidbits about Dick's life & career. I hope to finish it this weekend so I'll be ready to start the October group reads!

I'm currently reading Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith and I would recommend it to anyone! So far one of my favourite books, I just hope the ending doesn't ruin it.

Battle Royale by Koushun Takami

I'm reading Endlessly

I'm reading October Baby: A Novel by Eric Wilson

Sólo un muerto más by Ramiro Pinilla

reading ,

I am reading a very interesting book about a Victorian wife of a Bishop of Canterbury

Currently reading (3 blind mice and other stories)
I've finished the blind mice, I thought it would be interesting more as a play or a movie but quite interesting one

I just finished the Elemental Assassin series up to book #5 by Jennifer Estep, the narration was fantastic.
I read , which takes place where the TV series just started last week. I know the books are different from the series, so who knows how everything turns out. Same thing happened with the Sookie Stackhouse books too. Not complaining though because I love both reimaginings.
Also read which I enjoyed a lot.
I'm now reading which I'm having a hard time with. I actually cleaned the top of fridge instead of read because I was getting bored. It's kind of scaring me :)

How are you liking The Walking Dead so far Carolyn? My husband and I both love the show. Is it much different than the show? I had thought about picking it up for him if it's good.

If you watched Talking Dead (which I just did for the first time) they note the differences. Another person had their leg cut off. Some people died but not at the same place as in the books. There are different characters that exist in the books or the series but not both. The graphic novels are really quick reads - I get them from the library, although the queue's are very long where I'm at. I'd recommend reading them though Renee, you can see why they were so popular.
