cdnshopaholic's attempt at 100 in 2011 :-)

HI
I have been in the 75 books challenge for the past two years. Missed it the first, but did hit 90 this year so figured I should bump up to this group.
I look forward to reaching triple digits this year. :-)

Book #1 was Book of Days: A Novel by James L. Rubart
I got this book as part of the Early Reviewers program. I thought it was an excellent book. It has believable characters and an interesting plot with enough action and mystery to keep you engrossed in the whole story. It also shares a message of hope for those of us who have relatives with Dementia or Alzheimers.

Book #2 was Falling Star by Philip Chen I got this as part of the member review program. I am torn on this one. It had lots of action and a good plot, but I got distracted by too many (IMO) unimportant details and it seemed like the book finished with no resolution. I may just not have been in the right frame of mind for this type of book, so will have to give it another read at a later date.
Book #3 Dr Death by Jonathan Kellerman ..continuing in my quest to read all of his Alex Delaware books in order. It was another great read.
Book #4 Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter by Blaize Clement A fast fun read..just what I needed after a long week. :-)

I used to love the Alex Delaware books. Is he still writing them?

#4 Ya I love them too and he is still writing them. There is a new one set to be released in March. :-)

I just finished Book #5 Flesh and Blood by Jonathan Kellerman Loved it too. lol

I got sucked back into continuing on in reading my Jonathan Kellerman books again so finished The Murder Book (#6)and A Cold Heart (#7) this weekend, and I continue to enjoy them all.

and #8 was Therapy by Jonathan Kellerman

Book #9 Rage by Jonathan Kellerman I am on a roll now :-) I think there are only 6 or 7 to go in this series. LOL

Book #10 Gone by Jonathan Kellerman I really liked this one as well. I don't think I have a favourite. :-)
Book #11 The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen This was a good book as well. It took place in the current time, but most of the book was a flashback to a murder that happened in the 1800's.
Book #12 The Front by Patricia Cornwell This was quite a short book. Not one of the best by her.

Book #13 The Taking by Dean Koontz Creepy book with an amazing ending. :-)

Book #14 Obsession by Jonathan Kellerman What can I say..I like them all. lol

Book #15 The Sinner by Tess Gerritsen It was very good.

#13> I think that's the next Gerritsen (Rizzoli & Isles) for me.

#13> I think that's the next Gerritsen (Rizzoli & Isles) for me.

I am slacking as I have started a new social media consulting business with my friend and it is seriously interfering with my reading time. LOL I am trying to keep up with my early reviewer books at least. :-)
Book #16 Running Scared by Robert Leon Davis and Book #17 was No Safe Haven by Kimberly Woodhouse. I enjoyed them both and am off to write the reviews now.

I have a few new ones to add today. Books #18, 19 & 20 were all Jonathan Kellerman Compulsion Bones and Evidence Loved them all! and it looks like I will be finishing the series just in time to buy his new one. LOL
I also read Heat wave by Richard Castle for Book #21. I was a fun read.

The internet was down last sunday so I maned to get in some reading. :-) Book #22 DEAD(ish) by Naomi Kramer was an odd little book about a lady who was dead but couldn't find her body. Book #23 Darkness Under the Sun by Dean Koontz Short quick creepy read. Book #24 Guardian of Lies by Steve Martini This was a great action-packed book involving Paul Madriani (lawyer) the CIA, foreign governments and a nuclear bomb. Book #25 was Deception by Jonathan Kellerman and completed my re-reading of his Alex Delaware books. :-) I still need to buy the brand new one that was just released though. LOL
