When I was in Portland, Oregon last year I went to Powell's and this was a staff pick. I never would have heard of it otherwise.

How cool, right on! I heart Powell's!

I would have never read any book by James Patterson except I read about him in a book review via a major big city newspaper? The Patterson books are superbly written. Interesting about Patterson: Some of his books are series books; his group series books are authored by him alone; quite a few of his BOOK SHOTS short stories are co-written with other writers or well known people from an variety of backgrounds. The co-written crime thrillers are sooooo good!

Tantalizing? You'll have to tell us about the book you're reading (novel? Non-fiction?) And any other details, especially if you really liked your book.

I am always overwhelmed when I go to bookstores because I never know what to look for except in the new release areas. I started only looking at staff picks in the last couple of years because I figured if they liked it that much, and the premise of the book was interesting to me, why not? I have read some great books due to this.

I will definitely let you know how I like it.

I read Patterson years and years ago. I was addicted to his Alex Cross series. I kind of burned myself out on him. I also loved Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme's series and his spin-off series Kathryn Dance series.

I read like you. Very fast when I love the book.

Sounds like a plan, I hope the book is enlightening (good books are that way for me, they enlighten me).

This looks like a real gem!

I love it when stores have employee picks. Who would know books any better!

I know. I actually wanted to read it more because it was so negative.
