Stacy's Books 
Thanks for participating Stacy 🙂
I have Greg Iles on my list to try for a challenge this year, which one would you recommend to me?
I have ChelseaC next one also, I can’t wait to get more sick and twisted from her, lol
HarlanC is popular, I must try him.
I really want to read JoN also.
I love thrillers also. I can still remember reading Coben’s Tell No One and telling everyone I knew to read it!
I’ve read only Carrie out of all the books you’ve mentioned. You’ve definitely got me curious about Chelsea Cain. You should read I’m not afraid by Niccolo Ammaniti, it’s one of the best thrillers I’ve read
We mentioned a lot of the same authors. I’m not a big horror reader either, actually I couldn’t find one horror book that I’ve read this year. I’ll have to check out that Kate White series.
Harlan Coben is an awesome author and one of my favs as well! I have read a couple of books by Greg Iles and enjoyed them. I am hoping to read more in the future. Great list of books and names!
I like thrillers too, but mysteries are good too. Horror, I could do without.
Carrie’s a great read isn’t it! I highly recommend In The Woods by Tana French, it’s so great it’s worth going out of your way to pick up a copy 🙂
I’m glad I stopped by! You reminded me of a couple of authors I have read in the past and also gave me a few new names to track down! Thanks, Rae
Haven’t read any good horror books in a long while. Thanks for the recommendations 🙂
Totally with you on Iles and Coben. I’m thinking that Iles should be having a new books out soon … seems like it is about time. I’ll have to look into this.
Did you read about his car accident earlier this year? He lost his leg.
Haven’t heard of Chelsea Cain before – more new authors!! 🙂 Ha, glad to see I am not the only one recommending the Lincoln Rhyme series hehehe.
I hadn’t read any of Christie’s work until a couple of years ago when I started checking out audio versions of her book from the library. Didn’t take long to fall in love. I’ve enjoyed film adaptations of her work for years and was pleased to discover how much I enjoyed her books. They have just the right blend of moodiness and mystery blended with a time period that I am drawn to anyway. I particularly enjoy the audio books read by Emilia Fox. She does a great job.
