Ocean Liners - Books

Rex1965 · Oct 16, 2020

Can't get enough of them. Lately, instead of rewarding myself with food, I buy ocean liner books. Everything except books on the Titanic...ugh, I'm so sick of that ship.

Huh, historical non-fiction? Or..

I'm in a scifi kick now.

That sounds interesting! I’m on the last Amos Decker series by David Baldacci. There are a few fall releases that I am anxiously awaiting! I’ll probably get audiobooks so I listen to something while I’m recovering.

Who do you like to read? I’m a big Koontz fan.

I like that idea. I can't reward myself with books. I treat them like air. They are a necessity. I read pretty much everything. Although, I am not in love with police procedurals (give me a good who done it) and I hate the newer style mysteries where SUPRISE! it's this person who didn't exist in the book until the chapter before last. But otherwise, fantasy, historical, paranormal, romance, horror, contemporary, spy, whatever! Actually, I'm not a huge fan of non fiction, unless it's historical so I guess not EVERYTHING everything. lol

She had a series where the title of each starts with Murder in the... so ones Murder in the Locked Library another is Murder in the Secret Garden. There are 6 in the Murder series. They’re shortish, and easy to read, so I don’t remember it taking me long to get through them. I got them on Amazon and enjoyed them.

I went through a koontz kick a while back, he's got some freaky stuff. Haven't read koontz or king in a while, will have to get back to that genre after I burn out on scifi.

I'm currently listening to the likes of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Alastair Reynolds, Dan Simmons, Iain Banks, Peter F Hamilton, etc. I am doing audible 100% now for about 2 years, love love love audio books.

I can’t read King, he’s too spooky for me LOL There’s only been one Koontz book that actually scared me and that was Tick Tock. I loved the Odd Thomas series, but I am anxiously awaiting the last Christopher Snow book. Koontz has promised that he’s working on it. His Jane Hawk series is very much a mind fu@$, but I really liked them. One of his, From the Corner of His Eye is probably my favorite. I’ve read it a couple times and listened to the audiobook.

I read Koontz WAY back .. like Funhouse was my first horror book (grade school) and scared the crap outta me. I did love Odd Thomas though! I gave up King when he got LESS spooky lol Thanks for the listings. I will be picking up at least a few of these mentions.
