Feb books

[eviltammy]

Not much happening in otterevilworld, except looking for work and getting my knee better, so onto the books:

Science Fiction:
Against the Odds by Elizabeth Moon
Trading in Danger by Elizabeth Moon
Marque and Reprisal by Elizabeth Moon
In the Company of Others by Julie E. Czerneda
Anarchaos by Donald Westlake
Reflex by Steven Gould

Fantasy:
Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett
Jaguar Knights by Dave Duncan

Thriller:
The Girls He Adored by Jonathan Nasaw
Tap Tap by David Martin
Top Ten by Ryne Douglas Pearson
Psychopath by Keith Ablow
The Broker by John Grisham (the one thriller not containing psycho killers :> )

Romantic Thriller/Mystery:
Dating Dead Men by Harley Jane Kozak
Cold Blooded by Lisa Jackson
Whisper of Evil by Kay Hooper

Mystery:
Winter House by Carol O'Connell
Murder at a Vineyard Mansion by Philip R. Craig

Teen:
Hollywood Hustle (Son of the Mob) by Gordon Korman

Nonfiction:
So Many Books, So Little Time by Sara Nelson
How To Be a Villain by Neil Zawacki

Hard to Classify:
Nobody Runs Forever by Richard Stark - crime drama? Protagonist is a criminal, committing crimes, but not a mystery or a thriller - and not humorous like Westlake's Dortmunder series.

Point of Honour by Madeleine E. Robins - an alternate Regency England mystery with a noir-ish feel.



dia - the Jackson and Hooper were good, the Kozak wasn't - and you might look at the Robins - and get in touch with your former Teen Librarian-ness and read the Korman.

So, 23 for the month, 43 for the year so far. Hmm, I should hit the 50BookChallenge next month, but I'm also on a hundredbookchallenge yahoogroup and seeing if I can hit 300.

While I still can't stand the fact that you can read that many books a month, but I guess that comes with being a librarian, I do check out all your lists for new authors for me :-)

Good luck on the 300 challenge!

I love Korman! Shall have to look for him at the local library. Hubby informed me today that I need to start checking books out from library instead of buying them. Meanie.

I've read the hooper but will look for the Jackson. We might even have that one here at work. The name sounds familiar. I have one at home right now called "The Rosary Girls" which is waiting to be started.

And I still say you need to check out Katie MacAlister.....Especially the vamp series.

If you can't find the Jackson, tell me - my copy is from the used book store and I'd be glad to send it on to you. I'd been planning to leave it somewhere (bookcrossing.com), but haven't figured out where yet. I'll go put one of the MacAlisters on hold in just a minute :)

Korman has always been a favorite - No More Dead Dogs is hilarious.

And tell Rob I said he's a meanie!

well, I'm also blessed(not) with unemployment at the moment - that helps. I also have no other life. :)

Whisper of Evil by Kay Hooper

Have you read any of her others? I like her mystery ones.

I've read a couple - I enjoyed them, even though the whole psychic thing isn't really my cup of tea.
