I'm already feeling very bad for Blaze--having just found out how he became 'Blaze'... and learning who he was before his...Blaze is a great story.
I read it just before Xmas...and yeah, it probably will
a$$hole fricking father threw him down the stairs--three times
Loved Swan Song, will have to get a copy of Blaze now. I've just started reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
I tried sooo hard to like (and finish) The Picture of Dorian Gray, my son bought a copy for me a couple of years ago--but something else came along (I think it was Horns) and I never went back to it. For shame... I found it a bit boring.
The Time Travelers Wife is probably my second favourite non SK book after David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas
You may like it more than I did... let me know.

That was a very good one! I got it from the library quite a while back. (I've never tried Cloud Atlas [perhaps I should])?
Thanks for the 'heads-up'.

I just looked it up - described as Sci-Fi, Drama, Fantasy (right up my alley!) plus it won the British Book Awards - thank you!Cloud Atlas is brilliant, especially if you're a connections junkie like me

My pleasure. Plus there's a great film with Tom Hanks and Halle Berry, that's quite hard to follow if you haven't read the book. Enjoy
I've pushed my library reservations to spring, so I can finish The Golem of Hollywood by Jonathan and Jessie Kellerman, The Book of Life, the last in the trilogy by Deborah Harkness, Prince Lestat , the vampires are overpopulating, by Anne Rice and The Skin Collector by Jeffrey Deaver.
I finished Tabby's One On One (blogpost is in the "I'm Blogging Every Book I Read in 2015" thread -- hint hint hint! ) and now I'm reading a couple of short stories for English class and some Lovecraft.

I have started re-reading Hearts in Atlantis (a bit at a time) and I find it interesting that Ted recommends the book "Lord of the Flies" - it is funny but we HAD to read this in high school English and I did not enjoy it at that time.
Perhaps I should read this one (I will have to get it from the library) to see how it compares so many years on.

Yeah, I read LOTF two or so years ago. Didn't enjoy it at all.
I read LOTF in school and then later on, many years later. I think it is a great book. Also a great describtion of children. from a totally different point of view.
I didn't know there was a new Lincoln Rhyme book by Deaver-THANK YOU!
I've read all the others, but didn't enjoy The Kill Room very much.
I am reading The Kill Room now. I will look forward to the Skin Collector. I love Deaver. I really like his Kincaid character, too.I didn't know there was a new Lincoln Rhyme book by Deaver-THANK YOU!
I just looked up Kincade because I can't remember the character. I read The Twelfth Card, but not The Devil's Teardrop. The only Lincoln Rhyme or Kathryn Dance novel I haven't read (according to the website) is XO. I need to check that one out from the library before I read The Skin Collector.
Kincaid is a retired FBI agent and a single dad. I love when he writes about him. Did you read his earlier book called The Blue Nowhere?
