  1. Agreed if you mean Clarke. That's good news about her new book coming out next year. Strange and Norrell is one of my favorite books. I'm not sure what to think about four million in sales. Sounds alright I guess though I do think it could be higher.
  2. I went to the shop today looking for Annihilation hardcovers. They told me a big omnibus is coming out in December and a new Annihilation begins then as well. I loved Annihilation so I was happy to hear that.
  3. I am starting to get back into comics after being on the wagon for a few years. I went to the shop today and grabbed a stack of trades. I got... Jane Foster Thor 1 and 2 (Aaron) Batman 1-3 (King) Detective Comics 1-3 (Tynion) Return of Wolverine (Soule) Daredevil Back in Black 1-4 (Soule)
  4. I finally read Garnethill by Denise Mina. It's set in Glasgow and mixes a deceptively light tone with some pretty dark subject matter. This is not a procedural and the 'detective' is an amateur directly involved with the crimes. Garnethill is Mina's first book and it shows in places, but I liked it and will read more of her work soon enough.
  5. I got Mime Order but missed Provenance.
  6. I have been meaning to check these out for a while now. I had forgotten about them until you posted this. Your post about Burke has me wondering if authors have anything to do with titles or not. I know they title their work, but I always assumed the publisher would change it if they saw fit and often did exactly that. I read a thing not long ago about Toni Morrison, Pulitzer and Nobel winner, having her titles changed regularly. Another thing I read claimed the authors must agree to the change, typically, and so some will be changed and some will not. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent...
  7. Will do once I get to reading them. I just bought Arturo Perez Reverte's Club Dumas. I thought I had already read this but I seemingly have not.
  8. I too enjoy a steady diet of the mysterious. I am a total John Connolly junkie, but I also love the following authors. Tana French - Dublin Murder Squad plus standalones. Gillian Flynn - All standalones. Ian Rankin - John Rebus books, set mostly in Edinburgh. James Lee Burke - Dave Robicheaux books, set mostly in Louisiana. William Kent Krueger - Cork O'Connor books, set mostly in Minnesota. Cathi Unsworth - Standalones set in England. Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer books, plus standalones, set in Los Angeles. Jonathan Kellerman - Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis books, set in Los Angeles. I just bought two new books by authors I haven't read. Denise Mina - Garnethill, set I think in Scotland. Asa Larsson - Sun Storm, set I think in Sweden. We'll see.
