I am beginning to want to re-read books and that doesn't help at all. My biggest accomplishment this year is reading some longer books, and even though I have enjoyed them a lot, they take me a long time to read.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-20075185221602353852014-04-06T14:05:00.538-07:002014-04-06T14:05:00.538-07:00I guess half of these would be new to me.

I usually don't mind trying new mystery authors, because I can get through just about any mystery without too much disappointment. Other fiction, though, I am less willing to take a chance on without a lot of recommendations. And even then I may feel like I have lost that time.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-60292336223506599322014-04-06T11:17:37.490-07:002014-04-06T11:17:37.490-07:00These authors are new to me too, Tracy.

I hate when that happens. But how else are you going to discover new authors. You have to take a chance. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-60349747471131629702014-04-06T10:09:48.515-07:002014-04-06T10:09:48.515-07:00Sarah, all of those authors were good reads, and n...Sarah, all of those authors were good reads, and now I want to read more by them.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-73845253623634276652014-04-06T10:08:58.835-07:002014-04-06T10:08:58.835-07:00Col, I just watched the movie In the Head of the N...Col, I just watched the movie In the Head of the Night last night.

Several of these authors have been on my shelves for years. The Michael Gilbert book is especially good and I am sure you would like it.

I see it two ways: one, authors I have never heard of before (which is seldom the case) but never read, and two, those whose names I'm familiar with but never read either. That said, barring John Ball, I haven't read any of the writers in your NTM list. The Michael Gilbert book looks especially good.Prashant C.
