I recently finished Joe Hill's "The Fireman", excellent read. His best since Heart Shaped Box.

I'm reading Stephen King's last installment on the Bill Hodge's trilogy, "End of Watch" which is another excellent read.

It was fun reading the novels of a son and father back to back. Definitely different writers but both have a fantastic attention to detail.

I finished "In the Woods" and already bought the second book in the series. Yesterday I started "Camino Island" by John Grisham. Sadly, it isn't another "A Time to Kill" or "The Last Juror."

Disclaimer- I seldom buy a book anymore. That's what my library card is for.

I found it to be an interesting read. It gave me some insight into a time and culture I wasn't really familiar with. It wasn't a compelling page turner to me but I never felt like I had to force my way through it. Hope that helps.

I finished Camino Island, and it was not one of John Grisham's best work. I started The Dead Zone by Stephen King. I read it years ago, but it just came out on Audible, and it's read by James Franco. Had to read it again.

I finished "The Dead Zone" and started the second book in the Dublin Murder Squad series- "The Likeness." If it doesn't pick up soon I'm going to move on to another book.

I couldn't finish "The Likeness" and moved on to "All the Ugly and Wonderful Things" by Bryn Greenwood, which was very good. After that I started "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty, which is pretty good.

I'm on track to complete my 2017 50 book challenge.

Don't read fantasy, and less Stephen King but real life is Awesome. I am reading BONHOEFFER, BY Eric Metaxas, this man was amazing. a real story. I highly recommend this book, drop King, that man sold his soul to the devil. Good reading... Bye

Just finished "Golden Prey" by John Sanford. I'd found the last few Prey books a bit stale but the move to the fed. marshall's office might just bring Davenport back to life.

I'm working through "Janesville". It's an accounting of what happens to a city and people when a GM plant closes after 100 years or so.

When you finish The Late Show, could you post a quick review. Interested in the new series. Thanks
Finished the Late Show.... Off to a slow start, but couldn't put it down as I got into it. I had pre-ordered it and forgot that it is a new series and worth the read,
Just go Alex Lukeman's new book "Solomon's Gold" and will start that.
Another Series that I finished is John Jordan Mystery Series by Michael Lister and just pre-ordered book 15. Michael Connelly gives an introduction and Harry Bosch appears in a few of them.

I started "Almost Sisters" by Joshilyn Jackson the other day. She's becoming one of favorite authors.

I couldn't finish "Eat, Pray, Love" but the "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is absolutely wonderful. Stieg Larsson passed away in 2004, after completing the first three books. In 2015, a fourth book was released in the series written by David Lagercrantz, and another, "The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye" will be released next month.

Have you read the "newer" book? I haven't yet. Been hemming and hawing. First 3 were so good, worried it won't live up to it.

The Girl in the Spider's Web? Yes, and it's as good as Stieg Larsson's three novels. I'll have to reread it before the next one.

I've read several books in the last few weeks, but nothing good enough to to be worth noting. September looks to be a better reading month with new books from- Craig Johnson, Diana Rowland, and Stephen and Owen King, among others. New ones from Dan Brown, Joe Hill, and a Harry Bosch from Micheal Connelly in October. :D
