So basically 2 books a month. That seems like a reasonable challenge.I'm hoping to read 25 books this year.

I think I’ve read them all...except the one you mentioned which I just now downloaded from the library to read on my iPad! Love this thread! I thought immediately of Cussler when Evanovich’s name came up because I think his stuff has remained entertaining and readable through dozens of books. Perhaps the author collaboration has helped sustain his stories.I think I've mentioned this before....does anybody like the Dirk Pitt series and the other series by Clive Cussler?

I don't think I've ever read anything by either of those authors.does anybody here read Dean Koontz?
I DO like Dean Koontz, in fact. I get his newletter, and have kept up a very irregular corrospondence with him for years, and Hekitty has exchanged letters with three of his dogs now. He's a lovely man, and writes very good horror. I think the thing I like most about him is that almost all of his "monsters" have roots in science, no matter how improbably. I remember reading an interview that he did where he mentioned that after "Strangers," (at least I think it was "Strangers") he was actually investigated because what he had written was just too close to a black op that was actually being done. THAT is SCARY!Does anybody here read Dean Koontz? I heard he has a new series out. Wondering if anyone's read it to tell me if it's good!
Wow I didn't even think of it that way but yeah. It doesn't seem as intimidating when it's framed that way. I'm not going to count my audiobooks as much because I read those together with my mom, though usually I'd count them. I have to start reading books I've bought. I think I'm a book hoarder, haha.So basically 2 books a month. That seems like a reasonable challenge.
I love Clive Cussler!! Dirk Pitt is one of my favorite characters! I read one book and knew then that I'd read all the rest!I think I've mentioned this before....does anybody like the Dirk Pitt series and the other series by Clive Cussler? I'm a huge Cussler fan and have read all of his books.
ME, TOO! I have over 600. Around 650, I think. And more coming. AND I FOUND THE BARBARA MICHAELS BOOKS!I think I'm a book hoarder, haha.
Before we retired and during our peak book-owning period, we had more than 65 cartons of books. 1,000+ probably. We wouldn't have known this because we didn't count the boxes, but during one of our moves, the guys who carried the boxes down two flights of steep, narrow stairs in our 1910 Craftsman house informed us unhappily of this tiny little fact. "Have you actually READ all of these books?" one guy asked. Yep, we said. He just shook his head and trudged off to the moving van.ME, TOO! I have over 600. Around 650, I think. And more coming. AND I FOUND THE BARBARA MICHAELS BOOKS!
So the characters are bees? Curious to hear what you think of it.I picked up The Bees by Laline Paull instead.
I plan to read that some day, but need to be in the mood for a depressing read.I've just finished A Mother's Reckoning by Sue Klebold
