Glad to hear the problem wasn't just my computer. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Thank you, Bill.

That's why we're here, Kathryn.. :0)

I'm currently reading Gone by Michael Grant on my tablet. The story is pretty good, but you have to get past all the spelling errors.
I'm also reading Slice by William Patterson in paperback. This book is really good so far.

Will read Zoe Ferrari's next book - City of Veils now. =)

Loved all of these. Zoe Ferraris is one of my favorites.





Just Finsh reading The Skin Map by Stephen R. Lawhead It was a time trivaling book but pretty good
Now I am start on Whiskey Sour


I am looking forward to his next book already--voted for it today!"
That's the only one of Nesbo's stories I've read so far, Kalena. I've got others on my shelf to read; looking forward to doing so.


It was the only thread that I seemed to be consistently having a problem with, Brenda.. Fingers crossed with this one..

The only one for me too! And there was no problems coming to your post now, so it looks like you've done it!!! :)




I like that series.


I've enjoyed the series too, Aiesha; I still have a couple left to read.
No probs, Gatorman.. :0)
Not a series I'm familiar with Mark. I may have to check it out.

Well worth a look, Bill, as I'm sure Tay would agree - especially if you like the more classic plot driven books. Although Eisler writes a mean action set-piece too...




I enjoyed reading this after a long absence from reading any of his books. No surprises in format; still entertaining. Not sure what I plan to read next, I have a lot on my bookshelf to consider.


Howard Engel is a local (to me) author who's series of Benny Cooperman mysteries were among the inspirations for my own thriller. After suffering a stroke he found that although he could write, he had lost the ability to read. I think this must be akin to Beethoven going deaf - absolutely devastating!
It is a short book, but gives plenty of insight as to how he somewhat recovered from this (adapted to it might be a better phrase). In telling the story, Engel also provides an insight on his creative process, then and now, which was of interest to me as a writer.
I may get a chance to meet Howard Engel, this Fall. :)
I just finished the newest Women's Murder Club book,
, 4 stars. Starting
today. I hope I like the shorter stories as well as the rest of Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series. I usually don't care for short stories all that much but I'm a big fan of Grafton.

I enjoyed that book, too. Very surprised to learn about the St. Catherine's connection as I've had relatives living there.

I love the Andy Carpenter series! It's mystery mixed with humor. Can't wait for the next one to come out.

I've enjoyed the Benny Cooperman books I've read. CBC also did some TV movies based on some of the books, with Saul Rubinek playing the role of Benny and doing a great job. The Suicide Murders and Murder Sees the light specifically.
