As a fiction addict I’ve been getting my fix via Castle, Mentalist and Doll House all of which I totally recommend. I can DVR them on my Directv Receiver and watch at my leisure when the kids are sleeping. But I’d like to read more. Whose on my pile and whose been knocked down?
ZA Maxfield – soooo good at the gut twisting emotional impact with a side of sex.
Suzanne Brockmann – never makes it to the actual pile. I read her the first week they come out.
Jan Hambright’s – besides just being an all around great chapter mate she’s the guru of plot twists.
Right now I’m reading a ton of Silhouette Nocturne because I think my Amazon series would be a good fit with that line and I’m ‘researching’.
Books knocked off the pile unfinished?
I’ve tried to read (name with held to protect the writer) Again. There is no story question. If I hadn’t read the back of the book, which I never do, I would have no clue there was supposed to be some great world ending conflict. They do the dead on page 55, it should have happened on page five, and then what? Why should I continue? She is often placed on my pile, I’m intrigued by the story concept or a friend recommends a series by her but I have yet to finish one.
Harry Dresden, which is a dorky, wizardly version of Elvis Cole. I have a strong geeky side and I like the first person detective series. But there were soooo many characters and I haven’t decided if I care enough about any of them to read book 2.
So if you are one of the two people still reading this blog, tell me what’s just been placed on or knocked off your to be read pile and why.
