What Am I Reading?
I'm currently recovering from a nasty cold, which has really put a damper on my reading. Instead of getting into Defense Protocol, which I mentioned last week, I've picked up Forty Times a Killer! by William J. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. This paperback reprint from 2014 was released on December 24th. With the holiday chaos, I figured my local Walmart might not have the book in stock right away, so I pre-ordered it on Amazon alongside another Western. However, the shipping date kept getting pushed back to late January, which is just ridiculous. To my surprise, Walmart did receive the book, so I grabbed it there and canceled my Amazon order.
I've only read a few pages of Forty Times a Killer!, but since I'm likely to be snowed in for a few days, I should finally have time to dive into it.

What's in the Mailbox?
What’s going on with Amazon? You can’t seem to keep a simple paperback reprint in stock, yet you had no trouble sending out a "new" paperback release with the same publication date. The other Western I ordered is The First Mountain Man: Preacher's Strike by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone (written by a ghostwriter). The shipping was slow, but at least I received it in the end.
Putnam sent me an ARC of Robin Cook's Bellevue. Wait a second, can I even call this an ARC? The book came out in early December, and I’m only just now getting my copy.
What's New on the Bookshelf?
I stumbled upon a bunch of "new" free books at my local library. I couldn’t resist grabbing Swift Vengeance by T. Jefferson Parker and Killing Reagan by Bill O'Reilly & Martin Dugard.
I also made another trip to the thrift store and picked up a handful of paperbacks: three Louis L'Amour Westerns—The Broken Gun, Milo Talon, and Tucker—as well as Dana Fuller Ross's Wagon West: The Frontier Trilogy (which includes Westward!, Expedition!, and Outpost!). I found The Cabinet of Curiosities by Preston & Child and Star Wars: The Last Command by Timothy Zahn, too.

Additionally, I’ve added Outlaw Kingdom by Matt Braun, Black Hills Blood Hunt by William J. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, and The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier to my Kindle library.

Yeah I finally caught the family cold myself and haven't been reading since new year's and it's killing me. I hate being too sick to read. Especially since I had New Year's Day off, it was perfect reading time. Hope you're more on the mend now, I feel like I still have a ways to go.
ReplyDeleteNice new reads! These are new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all!
