The new releases and holds have been coming at a rapid clip. The Stilt House and Hattie McDonald books are still on hold. The latest Elm Creek quilting book by Jennifer Chiavarini should be coming in a week or so. I have a few more new releases I am looking forward to.

I just finished the latest Preston/Child book, Badlands, Nora Kelly series . She is part of the Pendergast universe and there is an oblique reference to him. I always enjoy their books but I do rather miss the Special Agent.

Also the newest Michael Connolly book, Nightshade. Still in California but no Bosch tie-in (yet anyway). Or if one of the legal characters is a repeat I missed it. Was ok, I didn't really get drawn into the character and it was sort of weird hearing a different narrator. But it often takes a book or two for a set of characters to mesh.

Also fresh from the new releases, the latest Jonathon Maberry Joe Ledger book, Burn to Shine. Joe Ledger is sort of like Jack Reacher/special ops books with zombies, more preventing the world take over than the post-apocalyptic Walking Dead. The author has a series that I would recommend to Stephen King fans, or at least the Talisman type store. The Pine Deep Trilogy, starting with Ghost Road Blues. This latest Joe Ledger book has a lot of cross over/takes part in Pine Deep but they are different styles of books.

I do have Never Flinch by Stephen King on hold. In the horror sort of them, I just finished and rather enjoyed Something I Keep Upstairs by J.D. Barker, who I guess has been part of the James Patterson umbrella. Anyone have any recommendations of his(??/J.D.) books?

The Tree Collectors turned out to be what I would call a A-Z book.
