Looking ahead . . .

I thought I would add a quick note to let you know what is coming up next on The Reader's Almanac.

I am currently reading Chasing Darkness by Robert Crais.

I recently fell into a pattern of jumping from the last page of a book immediately into the next novel without taking the time to write the review. This is easy to do when you are reading several books in a series and I am guilty of reading six consecutive Michael Connelly tales featuring Harry Bosch, followed by a five-part series on Pattersons' Alex Cross , and most recently getting hooked on Lee Childs' Jack Reacher character. I have my work cut out for me, but here we go.

Coming up I will review about 26 books, including:

Blood Work by Michael Connelly
Deep Lie by Stuart Woods
Guilty as Sin by Tami Hoag
The Overlook by Michael Connelly
Faithful Spy by Alex Berenson
Chasing the Dime by Michael Connelly
You've Been Warned by James Patterson
Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko
Wish You Well by David Baldacci
The Narrows by Michael Connelly
Shadow of Power by Steve Martini
Nothing to Lose by Lee Child
Killing Floor by Lee Child
Lost Light by Michael Connelly
City of Bones by Michael Connelly
Four Blind Mice by James Patterson
Absolute Power by David Baldacci
One Shot by Lee Child
The Closers by Michael Connelly
Plague Ship by Clive Cussler
Pirate Lattitudes by Michael Crichton
True Blue by David Baldacci
The Hot Zone (nonfiction) by Richard Preston
One Shot by Lee Child

There are others in my locker at work and my briefcase that I have finished that I will post later, but you get the idea . . . I have a lot of catching up to do.

Thanks to all my friends who have provided me some fabulous new books and new authors to discover. I donate nearly all the books I read to anyone who expresses the desire to take the time to read them.

In the meantime, I would love to hear from you with suggested reading, or general comments on the blog. The traffic is getting better, but the input is still sluggish - come on, don't be shy. And don't forget to look for my reviews on Amazon.com.
