Stumbled across the Tier One series by Andrews & Wilson a few months ago, and savagely tore through all 6 in the series (thus far); and man, are those some awesome, high speed books! The 6th book, Collateral, was fantastic from beginning to end. If you’re a fan of military thrillers, do yourself a favor and check them out. Fantastic reads. Though now I’m bummed they’re over & need something new!

Wanna hear something creepy? In the book “The Eyes of Darkness”, by Dean Koontz (pub. 1981), there’s mention of a biological weapon called “Wuhan-400”, touted as the “perfect weapon”, developed outside the city of Wuhan, China. What’s more creepy? - it’s written that it’ll be unleashed in the year 2020....What did/DO you know, Mr. Koontz?? Far too accurate to be a mere Coincidence...

Am I the only one who gets extremely Giddy when a favorite author reaches out letting you know they read a review you wrote, and appreciate it?!?? I get that we’re all human, but if you love books the way I do...you’ll understand. Fastest way to solidify a fan base, and up those referrals! Think I’ll start writing reviews on the Reg. Thank you LJM, you made my day!

Ahhh how I’ve missed Greaney’s writing....it just sucks you in with the way it flows. I often find myself covering up the bottom of pages so my eyes don’t get ahead of themselves and ID a spoiler lol...if you ask me, THAT is the ultimate goal of any writer...to have their reader so enthralled they actually take steps to avoid reading TOO fast! Can’t wait to finish!

Pumped for Matthew Dunn’s newest, “Act of Betrayal”, which comes out tmrw, just got it pre-ordered!!

This is hands down one of my favorite times of the year...when all the new releases from my favorite authors come out!!! Just finished Ben Coes' latest, "Trap the Devil". Now for some Scot Harvath action in Brad Thor's latest, "Use of Force"!!

Counting down the hours for the release of the new Ben Coes thriller-> "Trap the Devil" on iBooks...He's one of my favorite authors, hands down, so naturally I pre-ordered it, and it's been a long year....don't think I'm going to get too much sleep tonight ughhhh

Just finished AJ Tata's latest, "Besieged", and I've got to say, may be on my top 10 list. Incredible story all around. I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of it and I wA on the edge of my seat more times than I can remember from a book lately. Bravo Mr. Tata, you've outdone yourself with this one

Finishing up re-reading BackBlast in prep for Greany's newest, "Gunmetal Gray"....sooo pumped for the newest Gray Man novel!!!

Just finished "The Nowhere Man", Gregg Hurwitz' latest 'Orphan X', and I've gotta say, that was one of the absolute BEST books that I've ever read in this genre that I love so much! The first one was outstanding, but "The Nowhere Man" was phenomenal!!! I was bummed to finish it, and cannot wait for the next installment to see what Evan Smoak tackles next! Bravo Mr. Hurwitz, Bravo

After annihilating the espionage-thriller/action/military fiction genre, hundreds of books, a bunch of all time favorite authors, I've finally succumbed to the, some would say starting point in the genre, and decided to start Clancy, specifically J. Ryan series. Started w/ 'W/o Remorse', as its 1st in JR series, and so far- riveting. J. Kelly is a forceTBRW, waiting to meet Mr Ryan! Clancy->Loooong

After a few years of annihilating the action/espionage thriller/military fiction genre, I finally succumbed to the necessity of reading a Clancy novel, so I recently started "Without Remorse", the first book in the jack Ryan universe, and while I've yet to be introduced to Mr. Ryan, I'm thoroughly enjoying the protagonist Kelley character. But lord y'all weren't lying when you said Clancy is loong!

T-minus 59 minutes until the new Jack Coughlin book is released! I've had it pre-ordered for a year now.....Oh I can't wait to see what Mr. Swanson will do next!!!

Last night I started the latest Tom Wood novel, "A Time to Die" is incredible!!! I haven't been able to put it down!!!! How I've missed the exploits of the great Victor The Assassin!

I want to write SOOO bad...

Why do none of my favorite authors ever seem to appear in Atlanta??? The hub of the south cmon!!!

So many great books out this month, spent a good 15min night before last deciding which to start between Gilstrap, Coes and Taylor's latest....chose Taylor, and glad I did! Can't read fast enough!!
