You've got some great titles in your list here. I can see more than a few of them making their way onto my TBR pile this summer. (Just what I need... more books!) If you're looking for a really good terrorist thriller to add to the mix, Death in Small Doses by Bernard Steele is turning out to be an excellent read. I'm about 3/4 of the way through and having a hard time putting it down to actually get some work done!

Twiga: I like Follett’s books, so I’m anticipating I’ll enjoy that one.

I read Whiteout by Ken Follett recently. It was pretty good.

Thanks, Michelle – I think I forgot to turn on the comments for the PUB challenge! I’m not used to having to do that

I will go ahead an continue to post reviews for the 2008 reviews on the challenge site – I guess I might as well continue logging them onto the challenge post here too!

Congrats on completing the PUB challenge–that was fast! I’m not sure why, but I couldn’t comment on that post.

Anyway, I hope you continue to post your ’08 reviews on the pub challenge site.

LOL Trish – I’ve been known to join challenges just for the button! I can only read from this genre when my husband is home…otherwise I scare the heck out of myself.

Is it bad to join challenges because you like the button? Suspense/Thriller is a genre I gladly steer clear of! Have fun.

The challenge host doesn’t list police procedurals…but, maybe it falls under one of the other categories.

I believe most of Grafton’s novels are fiction – but this one says on the back cover it is a story based on a true case and she is hoping that reconstructions of what the victim looked like (at the end of the book) might help trigger an ID on the victim. So I thought it fit with the true crime slot…

Good for you! I looked at this, but the sub categories freaked me out. I like those types of books, but maybe not all the sub categories, and once I get a series, I like to go with it for a while.
Princess of Burundi would be, maybe, police procedural. Was that a category? I reviewed it last year, if you are interested.

Is Q for Quarry true crime? I thought the Sue Grafton series was fiction. Just wonderin’.
