It is a bit mad buying more from an author when you haven't sampled their work!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-63174218817241104512013-11-02T22:58:20.937-07:002013-11-02T22:58:20.937-07:00So funny, Col.

I have also bought multiples in a series after liking one... then found the 3rd or 4th was really not my thing. I try not to do that now but don't always succeed.<br /><br />Happy 50th birthday. Lots of good reading ahead. Especially as fast as you read.

I'm so glad to see you post about Stan Jones. Like Margot said he is well worth reading. I think he deserves a big audience because his stories are enriched by the Inupiat culture which is apart of the main plots of his mysteries. I really hope you like his novels. The setting is done really well and the main protagonist is a very likable character. I was just thinking the other day that I need to read book three soon. I am looking forward to reading your reviews/thoughts. whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030571187291039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-15104442013629195442013-10-31T05:19:34.956-07:002013-10-31T05:19:34.956-07:00Prashant - Keishon's blog is great, though I w...Prashant - Keishon's blog is great, though I wish she would post a bit more often!
