I hope to start catching up to the Pendergrast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, plus they've recently started a new series featuring Nora Kelly from some of their previous books. Great series of thrilling dark mystery and murder and dective work. I think I'm five books behind now from them alone! Then the Steven Saylor series with Gordianus the Finder, a detective series set in ancient Rome, is another great series I'm behind on. Those alone should keep me busy for a few summers at least!(less)

I would probably never want to leave!(less)
