If you liked that one you may like Cooper Moon: The Calling by Cheryl Shireman . . .it's a fun read and a lot like the Bubba Books. Right now it's a free download.
Good to hear. I bought "Smoke and Mirrors" at the same time I bought "Anansi Boys", so will plan to get through both it and Ocean. I finished "Anansi Boys", and was not disappointed. Fat Charlie was a wonderful character, and the story was fun and uplifting. Before I start on the others, though, I've begun "The Casual Vacancy", which has been sitting on my shelf for some time now. Curious to see if I like it as much as the H.P. stories.Ocean is one of the best books I've ever read. He'll find it hard to top that one. I thought Smoke and Mirrors was interesting, especially the Snow White story.
It's obviously a very different story--lol. She has a nice 'storytelling' author voice, though, and that's no different here than in HP. I liked it. I'm interested to read her 'Robert Galbraith' books, as well. Too bad someone felt they had to 'out' her as that writer, but I heard that they were very good.Good to hear.

I've only read the first 'Galbraith' book and I loved it. Won't bother with The Casual Vacancy as I've heard more negatives than positives about it.It's obviously a very different story--lol.

Had to pause Dracula and start reading Romeo and Juliet for school. The lines "draw thy tool" and "pass me my sword, ho" amuse me.
I'm going to see if our library has them. CV probably wasn't for everyone, and I didn't LOVE it, but I do like her voice.I've only read the first 'Galbraith' book and I loved it. Won't bother with The Casual Vacancy as I've heard more negatives than positives about it.

Not to be rude, or brag, but Jance will be here tomorrow in Port Angeles, WA. She is doing a reading and book signing. This will be my second time seeing her. Just wish I had "Hour of the Hunter" out of storage, because that is the book she suggested I read first. I did, and now I read all her other books. Beaumont is great, I enjoy the first person view and the anti-hero kind of way he is written. Doesn't always go by the book. I like Brady stories as well. Been reading a lot lately, helps I have to wait for bus or interview so I keep something on hand to make waiting better.I really like Jance, especially her Beaumont books (as I lived in Seattle for years). She's here in Spokane tonight (for a book signing) but after working 8 days in a row I just can't make myself go to this one. I took some friends to see her when she toured for Second Watch and that was only a few months ago so I can wait till she's back here for the next tour.
Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Book Store. A little twee with it's quirkiness, but decent so far
I hadn't heard of it until the library book club chose it. I like it so far--light, funny, and adventurous. A break from the weirdies and dystopias I'v e been reading lately--lolI removed this on my 'to-read' list because I didn't think I had time for it...maybe I should reconsider? Haha.

After my reread of The Dead Zone, I think I'm going to reread 1984-haven't read it since high school (got a paperback copy at a thrift store for 50 cents). I started reading quite a few "classics" about ten years ago. Tried books I never thought I would get through. Ended up LOVING Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. I also became a huge fan of Kurt Vonnegut. Sorry MadamMack , still not a Faulkner fan!!The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
I like to go back to the classic every now and then.
