Thrill Week Begins!

Welcome Everyone! I am so excited to be a part of this new event, Thrill Week,
hosted by Marce at Tea Tim with Marce.

We are both HUGE mystery lovers and she created this event to find more of you mystery lovers out there and celebrate all things mysterious, suspenseful, horrific and thrilling!

To begin the week, check out the Questionnaire below, part of the BLOG HOP and find out a bit more about what I love about the mystery genre.

Stay tuned for more fun all this week.


The Thrill Ride Questionnaire


What is your favourite genre out of Thriller, Mystery, Suspense and Horror? Why?
I enjoy thrillers the most. I enjoy when ordinary folks are put in extraordinary situations.
I like to read the fast paced adventures of people racing against time,
trying to figure it all out.
Literary Thrillers and Suspense would be a close second. I love Tana French and the world she creates in her books.
But really, I love it all. I am just a fan of all things mystery!


Who are your top 3 authors in those genres?
Joy Fielding, Harlan Coben, Tana French


Tell us who your favourite male and female authors are in the genre?
Joy Fielding and Harlan Coben definitely!


What book do you remember loving but don't remember the details?
Maybe you should read it again now.
Red Leaves by Paulina Simons, a literary thriller.


What has been your favourite book this year so far:

Thriller
Now you See her by Joy Fielding

Mystery
Starvation Lake by Brian Gruley

Suspense
Creep by Jennifer Hillier

Horror

Thriller
Tana French- In the Woods, The Likeness and Faithful Place

Mystery
Lisa Lutz's The Spellman Files

Suspense
Alafair Burke's Ellie Hatcher Series

No big surprises there!


Recommend 1 or 2 books that you think more around the blogosphere should read.
In the Belly of Jonah and Lot's Return to Sodom by Sandra Brannan. I can't say enough good things about this author and this new series.
Every mystery reader should read these!
