I am about half way thru The Cuckoo's Calling by that lady who wrote those Harry Potter books (JK Rowling)and am loving it! Going slow so I can savour the writing, it's got one of the best Private Detectives ever put on the page in it! She can certainly have a nice series going with this guy, he is great!

I've been wondering about that one! I liked THE CASUAL VACANCY, and was hoping she'd keep going on non MG/YA books. She's a fine storyteller

CONSTANCE (Patricia Clapp). I've loved this one since jr. high., and I'm feeling nostalgic today :) Good history, engaging writing. I had an entire conversation with Myles Standish at Plimouth Plantation based upon what I learned in this book! :D

I loved both, they were my 2 latest reads, I finished Dr Sleep last night.

I am trying to decide if I should go for a smaller book like WTTKH, a medium book like Firestarter or a big one like Talisman/UTD.
I also loved Joyland, and already loving Dr Sleep... I am sure I will love this book, I have been waiting for it for a year and a half, as The Shining is my favorite book ever.

I would choose Firestarter, I like the book... I've read it only in Russian many, many years ago, and still can't find time to re-read it in the original, though I have it on my book shelf. Some day I will read it, too.
