Hi there! I just read your review of Hurting Distance by Sophie Hannah, which I am reading at the moment, and thought I would stop by and say hello! You are obviously quite a crime story buff, looking at your bookshelf! Have you read Sophie Hannah's third book - The Point of Rescue? I have it sitting on my To Be Read pile and think I will read it right after Hurting Distance. Anyway, hope you are having a grand day! Cheers, fairytonic

Please stop by and welcome Keith Katsikas as the new administrator of the Suspense & Thrillers Group.
Just a reminder that Gregg Olsen will be joining the Suspense & Thrillers group to lead a discussion of his book, A Wicked Snow on the 1st of June. Hope to see you there!
We still have one member waiting to receive a copy of THE NEWTON PROPHECIES by Keith Katsikas. I’m hoping it will arrive soon. We have ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS to be discussed on the 15th and A WICKED SNOW on the 1st. Would it be too soon to schedule Keith’s book to be discussed on June 15th?
An update about the Suspense & Thrillers Group…Will Lavender, author of Obedience, has agreed to discuss his book on July 15th. If you can grab a copy or have read his book, come join us for the discussion.

HIya LBP! Enjoying the sunshine? Lets hope it is still around on Saturday.Been up since crack of dawn and awake most of the night so I am shattered!

I have had a fairly easy week doing lots of admin at work which is good. Still walking like a loopy ! Life is hotting up and Phils GCSEs start in a couple of weeks...lets hope he really knuckles down to his revision!
Hiya mate! What you up to? Been busy ?
More exciting news at the Suspense & Thrillers Group…as you might already know that Keith Katsikas, author of “2060: The Newton Prophecies” will be leading a discussion on his book. We don’t have a date set up yet, but will in a couple of weeks.In the meantime, Amanda Stevens, author of THE DOLLMAKER, has also agreed to lead the discussion for May’s Group Read, which is THE DOLLMAKER. I’m really excited as this is something new and might become a new trend with our group discussions. If you’ve already read the book, come join us. If not, see if you can grab a copy. There’s still time as the discussion won’t begin until the first week of May.I hope I didn’t posted this earlier, but I didn’t want to miss anyone.

Dear Lostbagpuss: As a member of the Suspense & Thriller group, you may be interested in my new novel, HUNTING THE KING, which just hit the book stores last week. Watch the YouTube book trailer, if you have the chance. It's awesome. Really. Here are the details:HUNTING THE KING is a fast-paced page-turner that follows archaeologist Molly O'Dwyer into war torn Iraq in search of the remains of Jesus. ForeWord Magazine says: "Fans of intellectual thrillers and historical fiction will find a worthy new voice in Clenott. His best invention may be Molly O’Dwyer, a genuinely likable heroine who more than holds her own in a man’s world. An ambitious scientist, she is also an observant Catholic whose heart and mind don’t always agree. Given such an auspicious start, the sequel can't come too soon." Molly is an in-your-face woman with a mysterious past who is about to go on the adventure of a lifetime.As I said, to get a good sense of how exciting the novel is check out the heart-pounding trailer for the book at http://www.kunati.books/hunting-the-king-peter-clenott/. Or you can view it on YouTube or my web site at http://www.peterclenott.com. The sequel, TRACES OF A LIFE, has already been completed, as well, the first two books in a series with Molly O’Dwyer. In TRACES, Molly begins uncovering her own past while digging on an island in Boston harbor. Murder and cover-up and a mysterious past that many people, even those closest to her, don’t want revealed. If you have the chance, Lost, please let me know what you think. Thanks.Peter
I have such a huge pile of books to read . Saving them for my summer hols!
I am walking like a thing possessed at the moment. All part of my bid to get fit and shift a bit of excess baggage! What are you reading at the moment? I am reading a book called If you dont know me by now..tales of love , lies in Wolverhampton. A memoir type read but not dreary at all .
I am leading a very lazy life at the moment and loving it! Walked round the whole park yesterday..8 miles round the perimeter...aching legs today! YOu on nights or days at the moment?
HIya Bagpuss! how are you ? i am busy doing nothing...walking around Richmond Park this morning once I am dressed! Read A thousand splendid suns and finished it a couple of days ago. What a book! Hope you are ok. Our meet is coming up quickly isnt it? Really looking forward to it. x

Hi Lostbagpuss!Thank you for joining the group reading of my new novel 2060: The Newton Prophecies. I really hope you enjoy it! This is a very exciting time for me as an author. I can't wait to learn what you think of all the hard work I put into this really fun story. Please help by spreading the word to others about this group read. So far there are four who have ordered copies at the agreed 50% off and there appear to be several more who are going to join. This will surely be fun.Thank you so much for your support!Keith Katsikaswww.keithkatsikas.com
Keith has set up the information about "2060: The Newton Prophecies" on the Susupense & Thrillers Group. Would you let me know when you order your copy? It will give me a guideline as to when we'll all be ready for the group discussion.Thanks!!

ignore my last note. no. you are not an idiot. i am the idiot. i meant to reply to someone else. it was late. sorry about that.
it (brave new world) is on my short list of books to read... and i definitely will let you know what i think. if there is one thing i love to do, it is to make my opinions known. also, i am curious to hear what you think of TROS. Although I did not love it, I would love to hear what others think. Be well.
HIya..glad you are OK. I havent visited h2g2....nothing much was happening when I last went. I might pop in and see if it is busy. I am off to the National Portrait Gallery today with a friend. There is a new exhibition of photos from Vanity Fair from 1918 to the present day so it should be good. The sun is trying to shine here so I am hoping by the time we go it will be springlike! You working or off ?
