You should for sure try out ‘The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’.

I have become quite a mystery reader, of late. I just finished Louise Penny’s latest The Beautiful Mystery which was wonderful. Before that I started the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear and so far have read Maisie Dobbs and Birds of a Feather, both very enjoyable.

The next book up in my queue is Kate Morton’s The House at Riverton. Not a new release but a new-to-me author.

I really should read Linwood Barclay. Considering how much I loved his articles when he was still with the Toronto Star, I need to get on it.

Oh, I’d forgotten about the new Wen Spencer. How was it? I loved the first one, and more or less reeled in horror with the second one.

I know I’m forgetting about many coming up before the end of year. I’m interested in Jacqueline Carey’s new Urban Fantasy book which comes out in October, and I plan to pick up Laini Taylor’s follow-up to Smoke & Bone, which comes out in November.

Unwritten Laws – Greg Iles
The Last Man – Vince Flynn
Founders – John Wesley Rawles
Collision Course- David Crawford
The 9th Girl – Tami Hoag
Ann Rule’s new book – (I forget the name of it. It is one of her crime chronicles)

What I have read lately:

Kill You Twice – Chelsea Cain
Deadly Little Secrets – Kathryn Casey (true crime)
Never See Them Again – William Phelps (true crime)
Criminal – Karin Slaughter
Damage Control – John Gilstrap
The Amateur – Edward Klein
Implosion – Joel Rosenberg
Gone Missing – Linda Castillo
Masters of True Crime – anthology

I am about to start Lynwood Barclay’s Trust Your Eyes.

All of those I read were excellent too.

I’m awaiting the Nelson DeMille book “Panther.” I do enjoy his books. And I’m also looking forward to Stella Rimington’s new book, “The Geneva Trap,” a spy story.

I’ve read some good non romance books so far this year. Most are science fiction/fantasy with romantic elements or mystery.

Elfhome by Wen Spencer
Catch Me Lisa Gardner
Down the Darkest Road Tami Hoag
Last to Die Tess Gerritsen

I also have James Rollins Bloodline on my TBR as well as Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

I don’t want to list the YA or Women’s fiction books. Too many to count!

I, too, am anxiously awaiting the Rowling book.

You know I really haven’t. I have David Baldacci’s The Innocent to read and I like Nelson Demille and he has a book out in October called The Panther. Since I read women’s fiction and chick lit quite a bit when I take a break it is usually to dive into a techno-thriller type book. Even though no happy ever after is guaranteed for the most part the good guys win. And some of these writers are not half bad at adding a little romance in the story.
