I’ve been reading so many indie authors lately that I’ve really neglected some of my old traditional favorites. I’m finding myself really “jonesin'” for Preston & Child. This is the kind of stuff I used to read all the time before I got hooked on paranormal romance. I need a break from PR, not only because I’ve been reading a lot of it, but also because I WRITE it. So I need to read something a little different. My favorite books by these guys are the Agent Pendergast novels. He is such an odd character, but he grows on you more and more as the series goes along. I think there’s one that I haven’t read yet (and one to come later in the year). But here’s the problem. Because they are traditionally published, the book I haven’t read is $8.99 for the ebook. Now this is lower in price than many trad authors’ books, but I’m used to paying reasonable indie prices. I usually get audiobooks from the library for trad books. So I’m wondering if I can make myself pay $8.99. I didn’t see the audiobook at the library. Another reason for waiting on the audiobook besides price is I love the atmosphere the reading of these books creates. But I NEED a Preston & Child fix now! Hmmm…maybe I should download the audio version….
So who else likes Preston & Child? I know Andrew Mocete is a fan like me! Anyone else? Does anyone else have eclectic reading tastes like I do, or do you stick to one genre? Tell me!

You know I love Agnet Pendergast. Some very good reading and some great ideas as well.
Peace.
Your wife sure did love Pendergast, didn’t she? She and I used to try to figure out who should play him in movies.
I love these guys!
So do I! 🙂
Haven’t read those, but maybe I should? Last couple of books I’ve read have all been different genres. Game of Thrones series, Jonathan Kellerman’s Alex Delaware, Patricia Briggs latest, some non-fiction. Maybe some historical fiction next. 😀 Have to admit, I need to read more in my own genres – I seem to have missed out on all of the more popular series.
If you read Jonathan Kellerman, you would probably like Lincoln & Child. I read all KINDS of stuff!. The reason I’ve read so much paranormal lately is that I’m reading so much indie, and since that’s the genre I write in (mostly), I know more paranormal writers.
I need to read Clarity since I read Verity a long time ago. 🙂
I have Still Life With Crows on my bookshelf, but I haven’t read it yet. I picked it up at a used book store a few months ago. So many books…so little time!
I’m so in love with Pendergast! He’s such an odd character. I think you’ll like the books.
