Finished DEATHSTALKER WAR

 


These books just keep getting better.  This book shows us some success, but, as we know from real world experience, the most difficult is yet to come.  And I am looking forward to it.  The book is "edge of my seat" reading with great characters and very inventive new environments.  But, I am looking forward to a break from all this testosterone.  Loved the book.

I have also completed MANHATTAN MAYHEM.  This is the last book I could find of Mary Higgins Clark.  I think I have read all of them...at least all I can get my hands on.  This is a collection of short stories from various people in Mary's writing group (mystery/thriller) who each contributed a story set in a different part of Manhattan, complete with photos of scenes from each neighborhood.  I had a Mary Higgins Clark pile of books that I read one off it in turn with my other piles,  That pile is just an empty space now, which needs to be filled with more mystery/thrillers.  So I earmarked several stories in this book that I really like.   I will now order the first book in several of those authors series to find me more authors I love.  And this book had lots of great stories in it.  Work to do...


I have now started The Time Traveler's Wife which I found browsing in out daughter's collection in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.  I had seen the tv series? but it was not complete and, besides, books are nearly always better.  I am thoroughly enjoying it.  It has that predictable/unpredictable  feeling--you know what is coming but you don't know when or what will happen.  And this is over and over.....  I am presently at the point after they have met in Claire's real time but before they get married.
