Summertime Reading:  Silken Prey by John Sandford

 

It is a good time to get serious about our summertime reading goals. I try to read at least one book a week every week of the year. I just finished reading Silken Prey (2013) by John Sandford. He is one of my favorite authors and has written many best sellers.

Silken Prey is the 23rd book in Sandford’s Prey series. If this is a new author for you, you have some catching up to do. I have read 15 of the 23 Prey books and most of his other books. Visit Sandford’s website to full lists of his books. http://www.johnsandford.org/

I keep a list of books recently read books to help me remember which books I have already read. This is the list of the John Sandford books that I have completed. I recommend all of them.

Hi Roy,

Is it me or has the author been stuck with coming up with an ingenious new title? LOL

Have a great day in Gaithersburg my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Roy, I love to read.  And, I used to read book constantly: when, I finished one, I would start another.  But, with all of the illnesses in my family, I am having trouble blogging and reading is out.

Roy,

I really recommend the new book by former Harry Potter writer J.K Rowlings, it is called "the cuckoo's calling" by her new pseudonym, Robert Galbraith.  A

I don't think I have read any of John Sandford's books, Roy. I will look for them at our library. I do read one to two books a week myself and I'm always happy to find a new prolific auther.

I have no idea how you folks get the time to read all these books but I think it is great that you both read so much. I may have to check this author.

Those of us that read a lot of books just have to take the time. Turning off the TV helps.

Hi Roy, I love to read and I belong to a book club so we do not read books that in a series.  Sometimes it is so much fun to follow a crimebuster!  The last book I read for my club was The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud and it was incredible!

Roy - I marvel that you manage to take pictures, blog as often as you do, and still be able to pick up a good book and read it.  My reading has fallen to the wayside.  I do manage to watch many documentaries via Netfix.  But a 2 hour or so video is not the same as picking up a good book and feeling the pages as they turn in your fingers.
