  1. Col, your tubs keep adding to my knowledge of authors and their books and I'm not sure if that's good or bad for me. I definitely want to read Bill Pronzini soon. I have never read books based on a television series, assuming the books came after the "Mr. Monk" episodes.

    1. Pronzini is highly recommended Prashant. I think the Monk books are loosely based on screened episodes of the show. Lee Goldberg - the author of the books, wrote on the show also. Hopefully the quirkiness of the character shines through in these.

  2. Col - I really like the way you're going through all of your books like that. You're getting such a good sense of exactly what you have. I hope you'll like the Charlotte Jay; I think she had real talent. And of course, the Pronzini! As to the Monk books, I'll admit I was never much of a fan of the series, but I'll keen to know if you think the books are better or in some way really different.

    1. Margot thanks. I'm still enjoying it as it is helping me get a sense of what I have and where it is, which will be useful going forward. The Jay - I was hoping to read a month or two ago for a monthly challenge but it never arrived in time!
      I will let you know how I find the Monks. We can't all enjoy the same thing, otherwise it would be a dull old world!

  3. I think I'd get distracted by this project by what I've uncovered: are you totally reshuffling your TBR list as you go through the tubs? I'm just curiousl

    1. Rebecca, I'm probably not too organised when it comes to my TBR list. I think I find (or locate) some books and think...oh I'll read that soon, or I'll see someone has read and enjoyed something that I have somewhere .....and I think I'll read that next year.....but rarely ever do. I think I would be better of not making any grand announcements about what I'm going to read. I do get distracted very easily. Bloggers turn my head, new releases turn my head. I ought to leave the internet and just read!

    2. I understand the distractions, Col! And on that note, it's off to read.

  4. I think I liked last week's tub better than this one. But still some good stuff - you've reminded me of Monster of Gramercy Park, a very very good book I read a while back, one you might like. I keep meaning to find out if the author has written anything else.

    1. I just looked him up - he had one earlier book - The Greatest Gift which seems quite interesting, but I'm not going to go there myself! http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/l/danny-leigh/greatest-gift.htm
