That's one of her better newer books. I had quit reading DS years ago, but picked that one up and could not put it down. Two others that I enjoyed were HRH and Sisters.

I quit reading her books several years ago also. But picked up a couple to try to get back into them.

They were both very good also.

I FINALLY finished The Host. I hated it, but it is for a book club, so I persevered.

I'm going to start Charles Brandt's "I Heard You Paint Houses." I got this from the library for my DH to take on vacation. I'm going to read it before he does. It is about the mafia and Jimmy Hoffa.

The author was on PBS one night and my DH was watching the interview. Evidently, painting houses is a mafia term for killing people since the blood splatter "paints" the walls. If nothing else, I thought this tidbit of trivia was interesting.

I am currently reading Dirt by Stuart Woods.

It is the first book I have read by this author. Reminds me of a Sandra Brown book so far. Just OK for me so far - seems like it might be just a trashy type novel.

I just started "Doomsday Book" by Connie Willis. So far, I'm really enjoying it.

It's not something I would check out, ordinarily, but it was recommended by someone on the DIS, so I'm reading it! I've found some wonderful books that way!

Next up is "Cold Sassy Tree" by Olive Ann Burns for book club and then on to "American Gods" by Neil Gaimon.

I am reading The Girl from Jungchow. It is the sequel to The Russian Concubine. Not sure if this is going to be a long series or if there will just be the two books, but it's pretty good. The first one was a little slow in developing the history of China during that time, but once that occurred and we got rolling with the characters, it's pretty enjoyable.

I enjoyed the Russian Concubine, didn't know there was a sequel...Thanks

I haven't picked up that 1 yet. But I gotta say I am head over heels addicted to Eve Dallas and Roarke. If you haven't yet, I'd recommend getting Naked In Death which is the absolute beginning of the series. So far my ultimate favorite of the series is Conspiracy In Death. The only reason I haven't picked up Salvation yet is because I am trying to space them so i don't have that long between paperback issues

OMG help me i need a kindle

I just saw your post. I love the familiarity of Dallas and Roarke between the books. I will get, Naked in Death and Conspiracy in Death. I haven't read those yet. Thanks for the suggestions!

You would probably like Mary Jane Clark. She has a similar approach to series books as J.D. Robb. M.J. Clark (a TV producer IRL) has a core group that centers around a TV production crew. I like keeping up with the relationships and the mysteries they cover and become involved in.

You would probably like Wendi Corsi Staub too. She is terrific. Recently, I enjoyed reading, Dead before Dark, by her. I read a bunch of books by her last year. I haven't read a dud by her yet.

Wow, that surprises me about Stuart Woods. He started out back in the late 70s (I think) with some really good books, they even made a mini series out of "Chiefs" starring Charlton Heston. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084997/ He wrote several others after taht that I really enjoyed, White Cargo and Deep Lie come to mind. I hate that his newer ones seem to be about the $$$$. He actually used to live less than 50 miles from here, in a sleepy little GA town called Manchester.

Well, I'm less than 100 pages in, so hopefully it's gets a little less cheesy! Maybe I'm being too judgmental from the start!

Judgemental, you? Let me tell you, I just downloaded three or four books, some mainly out of fear because I'm watching some titles that started out over $9.99 come down to 9.99, then creep back up! One that I have on a wishlist by Jim Butcher (a Dresden Files book) started out around $14, then came down to $9.99, I just noticed on my wishlist it's $11.99 now. Same with the latest Mary Higgins Clark! So I jumped and went ahead and picked up a Clive Cussler that I had held off on (Medusa) out of fear. I then noticed that the latest Heather Graham that I bout July 4 for 9.99 is now up over $13! WTH?

I agree. Chiefs was a great book, but now he does spin out the cheesy fast books. Another author like that is Ridley Pearson. He used to write really good books, but now he's churning out books with no soul. Except for his Kingdom Keeper books. (But really, his latest adult books are no more complicated than them.)

I'm reading "The Worst Hard Time", I think the author is Timothy Egan, but I'm not sure. It is about the Dust Bowl. What the people went through during that period is unbelievable.

 

[maelstrom]

Now I'm reading The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory; this one is about Katherine of Aragon. When I finish this book, next on the list is The Boleyn Inheritance, also by Philippa Gregory; this one is about Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard.

I'm going to Disneyland in September (yay!) and I've been trying to think of what book(s) to bring with me to read on the long plane ride. Since I've been enjoying Philippa Gregory's books about the Tudors, I thought that I might bring The Six Wives of Henry the 8th by Alison Weir with me.

 

[TheBigBadWolf]

I'm reading Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich. I haven't read any of her books for a while. They're always good for an easy, mindless read.

I've read everyone of her books, one of my favorite authors. I recently just visited Hampton Court Palace after loving Tudor history with the help of Philippa Gregory.

I've read some of both of their books and recently bought some of Alison Wier's novels too. They are in the to-be-read pile.

My Costco had the sequel for $8.99. I just finished it last night. Based on how it ended, looks like there will be a third book and probably even more than that.
