Mount TBR 2014 Challenge discussion

A great opportunity to tackle the stacks in the corner of the bedroom... and let's just whisper that there are a LOT of books on my Kindle
I'll add them as I read.

Good luck with Mt. Vancouver!

Happy New Year! A day off where it's icy cold outside? Great day to read!

FInally finished In The Woods by Tana French

Did you like it? I have read the second book in this series and I'm debating whether to go back to the first one.

You know I think have In The Woods on my Kindle.. It's bad that I can't remember if I do or not!!

I did this same thing - read and liked the second book and backed up to read this one. I liked it but it moves very slowly. I got impatient with the detective/narrator toward the end. Cassie is a much stronger character so no surprise she's featured in the second book :)
And is it awful that I also "buy" books only to have Amazon tell me I already purchased it?

Interesting, I thought the second book moved also very slowly, but still liked it because of Cassie.

I have bought a couple of books like that, but now for Kindle books, Amazon warns you on the top of the book page if you've already purchased it. Thank goodness.

Finished by Zoe Sharp

I read a new author, one of Entangled Ignite's new releases.
Angeli by Jody Wallace

I can find the link for Angeli to add it to my books on my page, but can't get it to come up here. It just released so maybe that is the issue.

Finished Let it Burn by Steve Hamilton. I didn't realize this was a series until the #10 popped up when I added it. A good stand alone story and from what I see in the Goodread reviews, it's a good intro to the series.
Now if I was adding to my mountain instead of working it down...

Hmm, beginning to think I should've picked a higher mountain for this challenge, but the weather is keeping me inside and I'd rather read than watch TV :)

Finished by Nora Carroll

Many of us choose slightly lower mountains to guarantee we ascend our goals all the way. Then we up the anti. :) Carolyn.

This is my first year trying this challenge, so yep, a total guess.

Finished James Lee BurkeHeaven's Prisoners

The first in a series; not sure I'll continue with it. Until Proven Guilty by J.A. Jance

Honeymoons Can Be Murder by Connie Shelton finished it over the weekend

Acts of Nature By Jonathon King

Finished book #11 today: Deceived by Randy Wayne White

Book #12 Got Your Number by Stephanie Bond

Book #13 - an audio I've been listening to for a while when I walk the dogs. The Deepest Water by Kate Wilhelm I liked several of her other books but struggled with this one. It was pretty obvious who the killer/villain was so I read it for the family dynamics.

I have her haunted-looking one, "Skeleton", which I hope proves to be excellent. I don't know if your pooches' stroll was nocturnal but I wonder how it would feel to listen to a scary mystery while turning corners!

I haven't read that one yet. I've read several of the Barbara Holloway ones and liked them. Re the nocturnal strolls, they're big dogs :)

Book #14 - Gluten for Punishment by Nancy Parra. I enjoyed this one - more plot than I usually see with a cozy. I liked the main character. If I didn't have (shhh) way too many books still piled in the corner, I'd look for the next one in the series.

Oops, forgot to post over here. #15, Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich
"Stephanie" goes to Miami and Cuba
But it was fun :)
And I like Hooker a lot more than Morelli or Ranger

#16 Murder under Cover Would have been a much better book without all the juvenile, 'he likes me and he's so cool and mysterious and hot.'

17 Death's Half Acre by Margaret Maron. I always enjoy her books :)

18 Track of the Cat by Nevada Barr.

Double duty here since this was the book of the month for another group I'm in :)

19 Rules of Deception by Christopher Reich; I haven't read a political thriller in a while. This one had me guessing who, if anybody, were the good guys right up to the end.

20 - The Heist By Janet Evanovich & Lee Goldberg
A fun caper/con; first in a series

Oh I'm so behind... not sure how many belong on this list.
Okay
Here's 21 - The Boy in the Suitcase

#22 - The Edge of Doom by Amanda Cross

#23 Through the Evil Days by Julia Spencer-Fleming

#24 Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
This took a while to "get into" but I'm glad I stuck with it

I've "sinned" and read a number that were (shh!) "new" instead of off the mountain.
Catching up on reporting
#25 The Broken Places

and #26 - this one may be new...
Susan Elizabeth Phillips's Heroes Are My Weakness
