I see that you’d know at least one answer to my quizthis week 🙂 Stop by to have some fun. I do want to read Gun Seller because I do love me some Hugh!

Mystic Arts was all about the dialogue for me. It was so screwy, and I like my dialogue traditional, dammit! None of this no quotation marks and weird hyphens and stuff. Ugh.

And yeah, I rarely DNF because I have the most massive guilt complex ever. (Ok, maybe I exaggerate). And I feel like I have to finish a book. But I also don’t come across all that many books that I think are worth ditching.

So, STEALING & and a Pitt. What’s the third one?

Well, I’ve read three now, but I’m willing to reconsider based on your recommendation. But no pressure…. Don’t know why I tried the Joe Pitt, it was probably free and I thought I’d see if that would get me into CH. It did NOT.

I’m glad you find this, uh, helpful? CAUGHT STEALING is the first in the Hank Thompson trilogy so if you read it, you might have to sign on for SIX BAD THINGS and A DANGEROUS MAN, too!

If you’re already a Laurie fan, I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed by GUN SELLER. Happy reading!

GUN SELLER is a really fast read so it won’t take up too much of your time. I never watched REMEMBER WENN but remember it got good reviews. That is really weird it hasn’t been released on DVD.

I laughed a lot, too! I still remember what the protag said to the guy who was afraid to fly because there might be a bomb on board.

I did not like the Joe Hill books at all (not into anything vampire, not even Dracula), or MYSTIC ARTS as much as everyone else. And I think that’s OK. I don’t get a lot of things people love. It’s a matter of taste, not level of intelligence.

If you’re willing to sample another Huston, though, I found THE SHOTGUN RULE heartbreaking.
