Chris, Jeffrey Archer is a super author too. If you haven’t read any by him, I suggest you start with The Clinton Chronicles...there are 7 books in that series and you need to read them in order. I just finished his latest book, Heads You Win ...excellent read. I would ration my reading time on this one because I didn’t want it to end. The Books in Order site lists this last one as a Stand Alone Book but am sure ther will be a sequel.

I finished Chaos & started Silent Scream by Karen Harper. A little bit of a slow start to this one but picking up some by chapter 2.
Chris, do you like James Patterson? He always has a lot of books to choose from as does John Sanford.

Chris, JA Jance is a good female mystery writer and has several different characters. Most of her books are set in Arizona. Enjoy your cruise!

Chris, I would recommend anything by James Patterson, Stuart Woods and John Grisham. I enjoy all their books. Also Barbara Taylor Bradford.

OOPS! I think I mixed up the books and authors. I'm reading Dark Sacred Night by Michael Connelly the other one is on the Kindle waiting to be read David Baldacci's Long Road to Mercy.
Pippin I love all of J. Archer books. The first ones got me hooked. Cain and Abel then Prodigal Daughter.

I am still reading Signal by Patrick Lee. I have liked the book but it's taken me a long time to read it. This is the first book I have read by him.
I have a JA Jance and a Stuart Woods book just waiting for me to read.

Grammy, I read the 2 Archer books you mentioned but that was a long time ago...I am right now into Frederick Forsyth’s books and after I finish these might just read again those Archer books. If I find an author I like I usually buy them from Abe Books...I much prefer holding a book to a tablet and the used books at Abe’s books have always been in good condition, not usually over $4 and free shipping.

I'm reading In a dark dark wood by Ruth Ware. It's a mystery and a very good read will finish it today.

I started reading "The Reckoning" yesterday and have a hard time putting it down. It's a really good book. I have a friend who told me that the book has a surprise twist at the end. Can't wait to find out what it is.

Hi Readers. I haven't checked in for some time since I didn't have much reading time between all the holidays. I finally finished Lakeshore Christmas by Susan Wiggs and A Light in the Wilderness by Jane Kirkpatrick.
This morning I have started Roses Are Red by James Patterson. I have never read anything by him before but have seen so many of you speak highly of his books. This was given to me and it is the 7th book in his Alex Cross novels. Not having any background with his others books I thought I'd have a hard time following not knowing the characters, but so far so good. I love the short chapters and the how fast it appears to be moving. Are all his books like this?
When DH and I go on the road, he loves to listen to David Baldacci books on tape. We've listen to many, and the ones we haven't seem to be hard to get our hands on. Just wondering if this might be another author/series DH would enjoy? Any other recommendations of authors and their books that are on the order of Baldacci would be most welcomed.

We have nearly all the books by these authors, James Patterson, Stuart Woods and John Grisham. DH did not care for John Sanford. I have read a couple Susan Wiggs books and enjoyed them. I am trying to find a mystery writer that DH would like since we have most of those of the first three I mentioned. Lisa Gardner and Lisa Jackson are both kind of hit and miss with their books.
For fun, you cannot beat Janet Evonovich and I like a nice mellow book by Debbie Macomber quite often

Lori, one of the things I like about Patterson's books are his short chapters. Makes it easy to find a stopping point when you need to.
I gave up on Karen Harper's book; Silent Scream. I just couldn't get into it. I kept thinking people don't talk this way or act this way. I've read a lot of her books but didn't care for this one.
So now I'm reading Liar, Liar by Lisa Jackson.

Stopped at the nearby Goodwill and got 3 books-total $2. Point Blank and Knock Out both by Catherine Coulter and Echoes in Death by J D Robb. Hoping both DH and I like these new to us authors.

Connie, I love the J.D. Robb books. Have you read many of them? Did you know that is really Nora Roberts?

I can't remember the last time I read a non-fiction biography but when Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg showed up on the new books in Scribd, I decided to give it a try. I've just started it but am surprised at how readable it is.
I want to be just like her when I grow up! There's a picture of her sitting in the first row of the State of the Union address in 2015 in the center of the justices and bent over, obviously asleep. RBG admits she was not “100 percent sober”. Her one concession to turning 70 was to give up water skiing. She's dealt with a number of bouts of cancer and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny. What a gal!
