Best Crime Books

And a list from the Boston Globe:    On Crime:  Best Books of the Year.

Again, another list on which I have only read one title....

International Thriller Writers

I may have mentioned this site before, but I really like it.  Mysteries and thrillers are my favorites, so I love hearing news and forthcoming titles.  Checkout the International Thriller Writers site and the Big Thrill webzine.

International Thriller Writers

For some reason Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt fascinate me.  I love reading about them and am currently  reading  Franklin and Lucy: Mrs. Rutherford and the Other Remarkable Women in Roosevelt's Life.

But mysteries and thrillers are my favorite books -- nothing better than being curled up with my afghan in my recliner with a great entertaining thriller.  So I was really pleased to discover the International Thriller Writers a few months ago.  "Each month, THE BIG THRILL webzine features dozens of original interviews with ITW members discussing their new releases."  Besides information on my favorite authors and their forthcoming books, I've read about many new authors and their books that I want to read.

Suspense and Thriller Reading Challenge Accepted

I have decided to participate in another reading challenge. Who knew there were soooo many? Since I read mostly mystery and thriller novels, this challenge should be fun: 2009 Suspense and Thriller Reading Challenge on J. Kaye's Book Blog.

Titles I hope to start with are:

Long Lost by Harlen Coben
Look Again by Lisa Scottoline
Don't Look Twice by Andrew Gross
Torn to Pieces by Margot McDonnell
Triple Cross by Mark Sullivan
The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
