Ok so I don’t think there are may of you under the age of 40 who can identify this iconic mystery author…..
Yes, it is the great John D MacDonald, author of the also great Travis McGee series. MacDonald died 1986 at the age of 70. He left behind a legacy that included 21 books featuring Travis McGee.
I am currently reading the science fiction book , The Human Division by John Scalzi. I have also checked out another sy-fi book The Soldier by Neal Asher. Additionally, I also have books by Greg Bear and Stephen Baxter on my “to be read” shelf. So I have decided to create a new challenge! My June and July Other Worlds Challenge. The goal is to spend the next two months reading Science Fiction books.
So far this month, I have finished two books. The first one was Dark Sky the second book in the Keiko series from Mike Brooks. The second was I’ll Keep You Safe from one of my favorite authors Peter May. By finishing those two books I have upped my total books read to 19 books. I am also slightly over halfway through Building the Great Society:Inside Lyndon Johnson’s White House by Joshua Zeitz.
Carter Blake finds people who don’t want anyone to find them. For the last six years he has been one of those people. The reason why, revolves around Blake’s last days in the secret organization known as Winterlong. During those last days an American Senator was assassinated and Blake became the prime suspect. In those final days the Blake contacted his girlfriend Carol Langford and told her that for her safety she needed to go into hiding, too. When she finally decided on that course of action, she sent Blake a four-word note – “ Don’t Look for Me” and for six years he hasn’t!
So my last post was Part 1 of 2 concerning my library “to be read” pile. Post 2 was to deal with the order I was going to read the eight books that I now have out of the library. At the time I was already reading two books from the pile, Cutting Edge by Ward Larsen and Dark Sky from mike Brooks.
So over the last several weeks new books have become available at my library. As a result I have been swapping out books, returning some books read, others have been returned unread. The unread ones were returned because I know I won’t get to them now. The bottom line is I now have eight books on my “to be read” pile from the library. Here is a rundown of the books starting with the books I’m currently reading.
