lori, I really don't see how there can be a sequel when we know from the letters how it all ended. It must be a whole list of new characters.

I am "odd one out" on "One Thousand White Women"! Everyone here seemed to love it. I really disliked it!👎🏻


 

 

Nah @skyblue you're not odd one out. I've heard others who weren't crazy about it either. Honestly, I never thought I'd like it. Boy was I surprised when I found myself reading in the middle of the night!

 

I don't read James Patterson or Danielle Steel. Others go crazy over their books. It's what makes the world go round Woman LOL


We are in agreement on those authors, @sunala! I am not a fan either.

 

That's why I like this forum. So many different authors to explore!😃

@Judaline, ask him!  This is how I found out about the sequels, that it's meant to be first book of a trilogy. If you look down you will see recent posts and he seems to answer everyone.

I did not like the book at first because I thought it was utterly implausible. Ready to PTB,  I poked around and couldn't find anything that said it couldn't have happened and didn't happen.  So I went back to it and loved it.

Have just finished BITTER RIVER by Julia Keller. Really enjoyed that and hope to read more in her series. Now I have started ME BEFORE YOU by Jojo Moyes. I have already read AFTER YOU, but wish I had read the other one first.

I am halfway through Stephen King's END OF WATCH, last book of a trilogy, and disappointed with the direction the book has taken  so I will probably skim through the rest because I want to know what happens th the three characters I like.


@tansy, I loved this trilogy.  Sunny started a thread about this book which has spoilers in it as I recall.  Check it out and add your comments when you are finished.  LM

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, @Lilysmom.  I'll check out Sunny's thread.  Thanks.

Re: What are You Reading? ~~ August 2016

I just read two books by Margaret Coel:  Blood Memory and Perfect Suspect.  They are mysteries set in Denver.  The main character is a female investigative reporter for a major newspaper.  They were both fast-paced with interesting plots and characters.  I recommend reading them in order because some aspects of the first book are given away as background in the second.  I have read 14 books in the last six weeks and these are the only ones worth recommending. 

 

I have previously recommended Coel's Wind River Mystery Series books.  They are wonderful.  These are not part of that series.

Alter Ego,

yikes!  I have those 2 books on hold!  Thanks for the warnings!  

 

I just finished reading:

 

Cover image for All the missing girls : a novel

Another "ok" book.  It's about a 10 year old murder BUT written "backwards" - 2 weeks out to the day after the story and ends 3 months out.  And within the chapter, it kept moving around from 10 yrs ago to whatever the heck day it was, I didn't know what I was reading!Woman Frustrated

I pulled the bookmark on I'm Thinking of Ending Things, by Iain Reid. I read several pages and it didn't seem like a book I'd enjoy.

 

Instead, I started The Last Mile by David Baldacci, the 2nd book of the Amos Decker series. I loved it from the first page! Amos Decker is a very interesting character. I loved the first book and look forward to this one.

 

Happy reading!
