One of favorite books of all time is a young adult novel titled “The Transall Saga” which was written by Gary Paulsen (1939-2021). If you’re unfamiliar of Paulsen, he was perhaps best known for writing “Hatchet”, which was adapted into a movie Roger Corman produced titled “A Cry in the Wild.” Two of...

I've heard good things about House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielwski, including that people Scooby Doo the crap out of it as they read, with notebooks to gather evidence and link connections. I am READY! I enjoy most of David Lynch's work, and I'm hoping the tone is similar. I'll post a spoiler free review when I'm done.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, Lark Anderson!

Hi!
I am currently reading The Castle on Sunset: Life, Death, Love, Art, and Scandal at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont!
It is been really good so far, and quite interesting. I'm about 1/4th of the way through. I personally love books with history and I live in Los Angeles myself so I always lean towards...

That sounds like one I need to add to my list Sydney Summers too!
Currently I am reading, The Mirror Crack'd by Agatha Christie and The Natty Professor by Tim Gunn. Listening to Levaithan Falls by S.A. Corey the last book in The Expanse Series.
How is the Expanse series, Suzanne Bronson? I loved the television series, but I haven't read the books.
If you loved the television series @ashley you will enjoy the books. I watched the series then got into the books. They are 500 pages a piece!
Yoooo this book rocks!! Such amazing LA/Celeb porn at times, it's an exciting read
Just thought I'd add the book I've just read to the thread. It's an indie book by Brynne Weaver—and it was so much fun. Serial killers in love is my new jive. The story was sensational, the romance melted me, but I did get a little bored at the end. I highly recommend to people who aren't looking for something too seriously written.
I've had Butcher and Blackbird recommended to me a lot lately, Lark Anderson!
Ashley Renee Smith the paperback looks awesome, so it doubles as house decor!
True!! Not gonna lie, I love a beautifully designed book cover.
Down from my camp in foothills Spain to find these 2 well thumbed books in free pub library. One visceral suspenseful evil other romantic idealist historic drama but both an escape from inane beach conversations.
Those look so fun, Debbie Croysdale!! Did you favor one over the other?
Both books were horses for courses. One evil that exists in our world, (drugs, criminal fraternities & military hero’s intervention) Other romantic fantasy, kidnapped for arranged marriage Princess in...

This past weekend I officially completed one of my 2024 goals to read 12 books this year! I finished strong by completing Rachel Gillig's Shepherd King Duology. I truly can't recommend these books more! They're fun, propulsive, gripping gothic fantasy reads with a truly unique magic system and just...

this book resonated so deeply with me, I found myself carrying it around my apartment like a talisman. the author attended and graduated from Harvard divinity school. Her prose is so strong, that you can smell the burnt rice, and cringe at the scampering spider escaping its web. this book is a haunting and potent read.
Wow this is quite the book review! Added to my list to check out
Sydney Summers Thank you!
Recently I watched the 1974 film, CHINATOWN for the umpteenth time. Such a great film. Now I'm reading Sam Wasson's 2020 book, The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood. So far it's excellent.
Hey, Tucker! How was the book?
Sydney Summers I'm about 2/3 of the way through and it's excellent.
I love to hear it! I will check it out for my next read :) I hope you have a nice day! I am on the education team here, if you ever have any questions I am here.
Mark your calendars for the edge-of-your-seat release of "The Last Resistance," dropping on March 19, 2024. This dark dystopian thriller delves deep into a world where AI reigns and humanity's survival hangs by a thread.
Take a sneak peek at the cover that perfectly captures the essence of a future f...

I've been a fan of Mark's novels since he began his Zachary Blake series, and this new release (despite being stand-alone now) reminds me exactly why I follow him. 'Love Hate Law' is a tension-filled romance novel with a courtroom backdrop, and seeing the protagonists fall for one another despite th...

This is a eyewitness account from a 14-17 yr old of the Schindler group.
About the first drug smuggling gang! Fascinating, well-researched book about early drug venture, maybe first of its kind.. If you have any interest in 1900-1925 era drug Dealing/ smuggling,etc., which little has been eritten about, you will love this book.
Cool idea.
Who is the author? I'd like to read it.Sign me: History Buff.
