Not yet...but I saw another one of his books prominently displayed at the library when I picked up The Narrows...so once I finish reading the Sherlock Holmes pastiche I'm in th emiddle of guess what's next?;)

The Narrows by Michael Connelly.:stars3: Not as gripping as The Poet, IMO, which was the prequel.

The Poet by Michael Connelly:stars5: I liked it for the twists and turns in the plot, even though the author took license with the way law enforcement officers operate.

Votes should be public - IMO - as long as we're all adults about those who, for whatever reason, don't or can't participate. I belong to a neighborhood book club and we have a set membership list and rotate who picks for that month - our page limit is around 300, though sometimes we pick a...

Hi, Julie! I haven't explored enough to know if there's a challenge here or not. I DO know, though, that many members here seem to be fast readers! And this forum doesn't move as fast as crochetville, thank goodness!

I give any book a chance, but there have come times when I realize I'm not getting anything out of it - or worse: I don't care what happens next. THAT tells me it's time to put it down and move on. There are so many good books out there to read, whether they're classics or biographies (I love...

Girl, Interrupted:stars2: ...my neighborhood book club selection....not one I would normally pick to read...

I just finished my first Dorothy L Sayers book: Strong Poison. No review here...just saying that I really enjoyed it. Of course it might be because I love Sherlock Holmes, too...and like the whodunnit to be a fun and interesting read.

You give a book more of a chance than I do - but being a tad on the older side I don't have time to waste on a bad book:lol:

I usually like a certain type of book (suspense/mystery/thriller) so will try different authors on a whim - esp if free or a bargain book.

My favorite part of writing: editing.:lol: I had lots of practice helping some people who shall remain nameless with their college papers:whistling:.BTW, they received very good grades. :lol:

That's something I always seem to resist - even back in the dark ages when at school! It might be time to give it a shot again. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks! That's quite a list! And very eclectic.:D

What I hate most about writing is after coming up with a great idea...running with it (I'm a SOTP writer) I get to the sagging middle...and stay stuck. Which is why, over the past years, I've written nothing but non fiction articles.:lol:

Thanks!

I love my Nook. I've had it for 3 months or so. I asked several people what they had, saw a Sony ereader in person, and decided on the Nook. A big part of it was the disappearing screen on the bottom so there are no distractions next to the page you're reading.

I just bought my Nook about 3 months ago - figures:lol: I love it, though - for someone like me who loves to read and likes gadgets it's perfect:)
