I've read and loved them all, so I can't wait for a new one!

I'm a little disappointed that it's not a standalone, but that's okay -- I'll read anything French writes!

It sounds good, doesn't it? And I love Tana French, I just wish she would publish more often. I love her Dublin Murder Squad books -- it will be interesting to see how a standalone from her differs from her series books.

Thanks for coming by!

Isn't she great? She's one of my all-time favorite writers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ha ha. French doesn't publish very often (every 2-4 years), so you have time to catch up!

I know! Picoult likes to write about controversial issues. I don't always agree with what she says, but her books do make me think about things in different ways.

The Al Capone books are great. I had no idea there were kids on Alcatraz living alongside the most dangerous criminals in America. Choldenko really brings this fascinating historical setting to life.

Thanks for coming by!

It does, doesn't it? It has such a simple but intriguing premise!

Yes, they really do! They're really good reads, too. You should definitely give her a try.

I've read everything French has published and I love it all! I've only read a couple Hannah books, but I've enjoyed them as well. As for Kathy Reichs, it's funny ... I love the Tempe books but could never get into Bones. I think I was too weirded out by how different the books are from the show! I do hope Reichs gets better soon and that she'll be able to write again. It would be sad if she couldn't!

You haven't? I really like her books, although I feel like her older ones are better than her newer ones. I hope you enjoy her writing when you read her.

Thanks for coming by!

Sometimes it seems like all I read is mystery/thrillers! I just can't get enough of them, even when they give me nightmares. LOL.

Thanks for coming by!

I really like her books. She generally takes a hot-button issue and examines it from every side through her characters' different experiences/outlooks. Her books always entertain me and make me think at the same time.

Thanks for stopping by, Jolene!

Right? The premise totally hooked me! I can't wait to see how the story plays out. WHITE ELEPHANT intrigues me, too, especially because the premise is so simple but so chilling.

Thanks for stopping by!

I always look forward to a new Picoult book. I like some of hers better than others, but they are always entertaining.

Thanks for dropping by!

I always look forward to her books. It's interesting to see which issues she chooses to tackle and how she handles it in the story. Sounds like A SPARK OF LIGHT will definitely spark some conversation :)

I know! It's such a great series.

Thanks for coming by, Jennifer!

Right? I've never gotten a paper ARC of a Morton book, although I think her last one might have been on Netgalley? I can't remember, but I CAN hope :)

I've only read one of her books and I didn't love it. Her newest looks really good, though!

I agree! I hope the story lives up to that intriguing premise.

Thanks for coming by!
