Default i have an idea...

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" is an excellent read by Stieg Larsson and also has two other books following it to wrap up the trilogy. I have read the first one and can attest to the brilliance of it. There is some business jargon I wasn't too familiar with and that part can be kinda dry, but it really kicks off round pg 100. As a rule of thumb, I give any book to page 100 to see if it's going to be really any good. That's when you'll know if you should continue the read. The second book in the trilogy is called "The Girl Who Played With Fire". Highly recommend it, if not only for personal reading. Thanks for allowing me to "nerd" out real quick.

xoxo

I'm not part of the book club, but I have a couple of suggestions. I read a lot A LOT lol

First if you like thriller/suspense with a bit of humor.... Johnathan Kellerman writes Alex Delaware novels. Alex is the main character. I have and have read all of them (some twice) They are really good stories.

The other if you like suspense with a lot of humor (at least I find some of the stuff cracking me up) is the Sisterhood Series by Fern Michaels. I think there are like 20 books in the series. I've read 14 of them so far.

So there's some suggestions for you guys. Happy reading

Ok I think this is where this belongs (im not part of the book club either) but was wondering if anybody has read the book "Waiting To Die" by Richard Michael Rossi? Im currently reading that book now and omg, I must say, it's a very good book and it's so sad.

No prob! Its based on the life and story of a death row inmate from behind SMU II and treatment of Arizona DR inmates. Its sad yet interesting.

I love anything by Lisa See. She is not Chinese but writes as if she is.
