I suspect that may be the way my selections will go for the rest of the year. In busy times or stressful ones, I tend to read old favorites.

It wasn't my favorite thriller but it was good and kept me turning those pages. I've read Blindsighted by Slaughter and remember it being graphic but good. Somehow I then never continued on when the series even though I planned to. I have Blindsighted on my shelves so maybe I will reread it and then continue on with the series. (So many books, authors I want to be reading right now!) I really want to give Lindsay Faye's books a try as I just can tell that I will enjoy them. It sounds like you have been reading lots of great books!!! I'm so glad that I can always visit your blog and add a few new books to my TBR list :) samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-17074663229362764482015-10-29T20:11:14.914-05:002015-10-29T20:11:14.914-05:00I think you are right.

Very glad to hear you are on the right track with your health. I've sort of fallen off of my fitness routine and I need to get back on track. <br /><br />So this Karin Slaughter book is a standalone right? I've only read one of her books and it was quite graphic but I'm kind of intrigued by this one.

Well and the fact that it pointed out the exaggerations that often occur in those letters. It was good, but much more lengthy than the other one. <br /><br />Yes, I'm still around. I seriously though about stopping, but decided to just post when I felt like it. I may lose some readers but that's not really the main point anyway, at least for me. :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-73652228014510990242015-10-28T07:27:02.691-05:002015-10-28T07:27:02.691-05:00I've been wondering about The Girl in the Spid...I've been wondering about The Girl in the Spider's Web and glad to hear that it holds up well.
