Catching up

April 22, 2008

Since I have been reading books far longer than I have become internet savvy, I will try to catch up my favorite authors on a new page.  In the meantime, just to highlight my current must-read-faves:

Matt Reilly.  I love the Scarecrow series.  I totally imagine these as killer movies.  I don’t know if they will translate that well though, but somehow I imagine DiCaprio as Scarecrow.  I know that is a little nuts, but still,  think about it.  The Jack West Jr. books are pretty good, but can we talk about how big the text is, am I going blind or something?

Emily Giffin.  Yes it is chic lit, but honestly, it is about how dysfunctional women are.  How can you not love that.  Anytime I am feeling like crap, I read Something Borrowed.  It cheers me up.  I also love Baby Proof.

Daniel Silva.  How can you not love the international assassin, Gabriel Allon?  Plus, Mossad is pretty crazy in those books.  I even spring for the hardcovers.  Love them.  I do miss the other series he started. I am blanking on the CIA guys name, but it was the Mark of the Assassin, and the Marching Season.  I guess I could just google it but I am feeling lazy right now.

Jeff Lindsay.  The last Dexter books wasn’t that entertaining to me, but I love the first two.  Any time you can’t keep yourself from laughing at a serial killer thoughts is a good time.

Janet Evanovich.  Stephanie Plum.  Again chic lit, but hilarious chic lit, plus her life is always more insane than yours.  Though I have to comment again on the type size.  Do you need to spend $30 on a book this is in 20 point font.  Please.

Okay, that’s enough for now.  I will link the page when I set it up.
