Good luck on the audiobooks, BG. 

 

Just barely started on Pursuit tonight.  Knew I wouldn't get here at all if I delved too deeply. :smile:

The book is 40% off at Border's / Waldenbooks if you are a Border's member; membership is free, much like getting grocery store cards.  One can also sign up for their e-mail list, and they'll send coupons every week.  Sometimes many in a week.  Sometimes for stuff I'm not interested in.  Not that I'm complaining. :wink:



:alert: If you are a member, make sure they take off the 40%, not just the standard 30% that accompanies many new books there !!!!  Took them forever to figure out they owed me three dollars and three cents....... :eyes:

Happened to turn on the portable radio ( always set to one of about four AM stations ) whilst getting ready to run errands this evening, and I hear the name "Mitch Rapp." 

Turns out I was listening to KSKY & Hugh Hewitt, who I hardly ever hear ( don't have anything against him; 7:15 p.m. is just not usual radio time for me ), and he was interviewing Vince about the new book !!!!! :shades:

Missed the first and last 10 minutes; hoping to find a podcast or something.  I turned down the volume when they got really specific about stuff that happens in this book ---- I like to be surprised.

Must acquire newest, Pursuit of Honor ( thanks for the cover, Kevin ), soon.  It's been wonderful having each next one instantly available with books 1- 10.  Now that I'm almost caught up, waiting around for the next one each year or so won't be quite as convenient. :smile:


i just pre-ordered it from barnes & noble...:clap:


ups says it will be on my front door tomorrow...could have got it sooner in one of their stores...

no complaints: i'm gonna finish the new spenser novel tonight.....:five:

bbs, my "advanced ordered" copy of flynn from b & n  arrived two days AFTER it was in the stores---AND it was an audio-book instead of a book-book!

B&N bricks & mortar store took care of the exchange with no problem and i am shutting down the computer to go read the new adventures of mitch rapp now....

btw, fwiw, i gave the new spenser novel about a C...."I" know about hawk & susan and love the characters but i think parker is being tired or lazy about the plots....

Glad B&N Actual Store was able to resolve the problem.  I would have been mumbling many, many bad words some folks think I don't even know all the way there.  Might mumble some now just on your behalf. :smile:

Finished Pursuit earlier tonight.  Have begun the new Spenser.  Thanks for the review.

On Marti's recommendation on the Other Side, I purchased and read his Lions of Lucerne.  WOW !!! :shades:  Got the next two at Half Price Books and am about 50 pages into Path of the Assassin.

It has already been posted in another thread, but for those of you who don't know, Robert B. Parker passed away this week.  Rest in peace, sir.

Almost done with Brad Thor's State of the Union.  Couldn't stand the thought of not having the next books available, but no luck at my local libraries or Half Price books. 

So I resigned myself to paying retail and went to Borders.  Well, almost retail ---- I had a 40% off One Item coupon from when Waldenbooks was closing at Ridgmar Mall.  Sunday was the last day it was good.  Lo and behold, there were Blowback and Takedown, just waiting for me !! :shades:

Half Price Books had The First Commandment ( 100+ pages into it now ) & The Last Patriot ---- wooo hoooo !!! :shades: 

Soon I'll be looking for The Apostle, and might have to spring for the hard cover if I don't want to wait for the paperback in July.

 

 I see that a new BT ( Foreign Influence ) will be out in June......

pretty much. I think you can read excerpts on his web page (certainly on Amazon)

I feel very confident in saying that if you like Vince Flynn's books, you will like Brad Thor's. 

I suggest that you read them in order ( my brain demands that I must, but to some, it doesn't seem as crucial........ :smile: ).  There's a chronological list on this page :
