    Starting at the beginning of Ian Rankin's Detective Rebus series with Knots and Crosses

    I love these books. I didn't read them in order at first, I bet that helps a lot.

    I liked Knots and Crosses and now I'm curious how Rankin will develop the characters in the future books... He's definitely on my reading list.

    If you like Ian Rankin, you might also like Stuart McBride. His books are still in my forever growing to read pile, but I have been told by numerous people that they are excellent. Plus the fact that most of them are set in my home town.

    Currently reading 'Nemesis' by Jo Nesbo, it's good so far and I'm about half way through. The decective Harry Hole is so messed up, he's awesome.

    I got a bunch of books for gifts... I got the first in the Henning Mankell series Faceless Killers... Three of Brian McGilloway's books (Gallows Lane, Borderlands, and Bleed A River Deep) as well as some Michael Connelly Books, almost caught up on his books.

    I am looking at adding Jo Nesbo to my reading list, I've read some good reviews of his books. Thanks for the recommendation on McBride, I'll have to check his works out.

    Just started on the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I really like this series!
    Loved the first 2 books, thought the third was ok...but not as good as the first 2. I think I will reread the first book before the movie comes out.

    Just about finished Interview with a Vampire, have already read Lestat so next on the night stand is Queen of the Damned. I seem to always have a theme to what I read, last year and most of this year it was music biographies, now vampires.

    Just started this today and it is great. I started it this morning and I am already on pg 60-something. Great pace to start off the book.
