Now that I've finally worked my way through most of the Discworld books...

I need something new to read. So, I'm open for suggestions. Go ahead, list favorite/least favorite books. Please. I have very little in this house to read that I haven't read yet that isn't in Latin.

Yes, I read the McNally stories too. I've just got McNally's Folly from the library. About to start it. The books are by Lawrence Sanders.

Have you read any Faye Kellerman? She's married to Jonathan Kellerman. Her books feature a detective named Pete Decker and his wife, Rina. Rina is Jewish and Pete is converting. The books are mystery/thrillers but you also get an insight into the Jewish way of life - as Rina is a traditional Jewish woman. This means she covers her hair when she goes out, isn't allowed to be in a room with a man unless the door is open... fascinating stuff. Plus the stories are excellent.

I've read all of the James Patterson books except for 3rd degree. Along came a Spider was my very first. I'm always disappointed in the films. I watch them but annoy my husband by commenting where things have been altered.

Another writer you may like is John Sandford. His detective is Lucas Davenport. They've made a film from one of his books and changed it so much I barely recognised it - for a start Davenport is white and blonde haired. In the film he is played by Eriq La Salle. Excellent books though. A few titles are Mind of Prey, Eyes of Prey, Night Prey....you get the picture. The Prey series, I think they're called. A couple of them have a follow on storyline.

Have you read Roses are Red and the follow up Violets are Blue? I was shocked at the ending of Roses.

Happy birthday to your littley :0)
