MRK'd Up EditingWow! It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on my current in-progress reads, so I’m going to give you a quick rundown on the books I’ve completed since my last post. (Bear with me, the easiest image to screenshot sorts by Most Recent first._ I’m still working my way through the Travis McGee […]
2020-08-17 At any given time I’m usually reading one or two collections or anthologies that I intersperse between the myriad books I regularly. I realized this morning that I’m in the middle of reading two collections and one anthology. The reason I like anthologies is because a short story can be read during most breaks […]
That Day the Rabbi Left Town, by Harry Kemelman I’m closing in on the end of the Rabbi Small Mysteries by Harry Kemelman. I started these last year and they are amazing. As much as I love these cozy mysteries, I find I’m even more fascinated by how much the author goes into Judaism and […]
Savage Season, by Joe R. Lansdale I started reading this after watching the first season of the Sundance television show (which I also recommend). Hap and Leonard are not what you would expect of a couple of guys from Texas. If you’re looking for source material that is faithfully adapted to the screen, this is […]
Ian Holm, September 12, 1931- June 19, 2020 I woke up this morning to hear that Ian Holm had died. Though he has been known for many different roles over the years, his most recent one was as Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit Trilogy. Now, I didn’t […]
Code Zero, Jonathan Maberry Code Zero is book 6 of the Joe Ledger DMS series. The cover says it’s the sequel to Patient Zero, but it’s really not. There’s a lot that’s happened between book 1 and book 5 that come into play. Amazon Description: For years the Department of Military Sciences has fought to […]
The King of Plagues, by Jonathan Maberry I’m just about finished with The King of Plagues, the third book in the Joe Ledger series. I’ve listened to all of the books in the series, but reading them makes me realize there is a lot that I missed, clues to characters, foreshadowed events, and character quirks. […]
Fair Warning, by Michael Connelly This week I’m finishing up Michael Connelly’s newest, Fair Warning, featuring reporter Jack McEvoy. What appears to be a simple murder turns out to have much broader consequences. I’m a huge fan of Connelly’s Hieronymus Bosch series, starting with The Black Echo. When I first ran out of Bosch books […]
The Dragon Factory, by Jonathan Maberry I’m currently rereading the entire Joe Ledger series. I finished Patient Zero last week and jumped right into The Dragon Factory. Jonathan Maberry has a couple of internal series “mysteries” that I’m hoping I can figure out. Amazon Description: Joe Ledger and the DMS (Department of Military Sciences) face […]
