If you're not using your library's website to see, remind list, or order the books you want to read, try it. Mine is awesome. It saves getting up on benches or kneeling on the floor to get books on the bottom shelf (especially if you've had a knee replacement). If your library doesn't have the book you want, they have resources to search the state, or even go out of state.

Brought home a bag of goodies a while ago, and decided to share with you (the way you do when you go shopping and get a bargain).

Here goes:

Before I Go to Sleep by S. J. Watson
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo
The Absent One by Jussi Adler-Olsen
The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz
The Damage Done by Hillary Davidson
A Carrion Death by MIchael Stanley
A Spoonful of Poison by M. C. Beaton
Death of a Kingfisher by M. C. Beaton

The best part is that I just placed the order on my computer, and they call and send an email when they're all ready to be picked up - stop at the desk, and that's it...then they send an email the day before the books are due.

Now, you share maybe?

I'll browse on Amazon to see whats new then reserve it. If they don't have it they will get it from another library in their system. Often I'll read a book I like then search out other books by the same author and order them. I did that with Jo Nesbo who is on your list.

Try Jussi Adler-Olsen - I read his first one and it was good. I learned one thing in that book that helps my health habits - but you have to read it fto find out what ......

I typically go to the library, find a mystery author with several books and sit and start reading. If I like it I grab several and leave. I later go to the library website and reserve as many of that persons books as possible.
Right now I have Burke, Muller, Parker and Cromwell at home. Why didn't I start this earlier in life?
