...a horrible loud dragging noise made us all sit bolt-upright..
I actually got sent two copies.. one I reviewed, and the other was given away in a competition (Fish&Chips, was that yours? I can't remember now).. I think that one had something different in it.

Ahh.. I have a signature, and a quote from the book.. and yep, it's Oct 07. I don't have the pocket on the back though.. but then there's no cover as such.
-
I can't see anywhere in mine with a number (as in, your 30/100).. I wonder if they've re-released?
-
The Bone Garden is a stand alone book, I believe.
-
Is it hardback or paperback?
-
Unfortunately it's not out in the UK until Jan next year. It's been released elsewhere, so it is possible to get hold of a copy in places such as amazon, but it won't be in your library just yet.

At Pilgrim Hospital, on a Saturday night, the media are gathered to see an CT of a mummy, recently found in the basement of a museum during an inventory. It comes to a sudden end, however, when an image of a bullet is shown.. making this a much more recent corpse.
Maura Isles was present at the scan, and so she promptly calls in Jane Rizzoli to investigate. Following another ghastly discovery, it becomes apparent that they are dealing with a new killer.. one with a fascination of ancient Egyptian rituals.
This is the latest in the series that began with The Surgeon, although it works just as well as a stand alone book. There are glimpses into the worlds of Maura and Jane, but the main focus is on the crimes, and Tess has obviously done her research. It

that made me laugh! Thank you! 
There are so many people I want to share Therapy with.. I may even have to buy another copy!

It is Nici.. I really did have trouble putting it down, even when I was feeling ill today, and I've been thinking about it ever since! It's hard to put into words just what makes it so great....

Josy is a twelve year old girl, who develops a mysterious illness, then one day disappears. There is absolutely no trace of her, and her body is never found.
Her father, well-known psychiatrist Viktor Larenz, is unable to cope with the loss, and after splitting up with his wife, he retreats to an isolated island, in an attempt to heal.
His time there is shattered by the arrival of Anna Glass, a schizophrenic who claims that characters she writes about come to life; and she has a story to tell about a young girl with an unknown illness, who has disappeared. Is there a connection? Can Anna’s delusions explain what happened to Josy?
For anyone who enjoys thrillers, this is an absolute must read. It’s fast paced, with plenty of twists and turns, and I found it almost impossible to put down. Is Anna the one with the mental illness, or is it Viktor? I felt completely absorbed in this story, and it’s characters, and they have stayed with me ever since I put it down.
I would be very surprised if this doesn’t become a hit film, and I’m going to recommend it to everyone!

There are already two threads, so I'm going to merge them all. Horrorfan, it's always worth a quick serach before starting new threads. Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with being in your 30s!

I've just read Tess Gerritsen's Keeping The Dead, and I loved it! So you have that one to look forward to.
-
Oh, I'm glad there are still some copies available.. I do know it's a limited edition, but I'm not sure how many.
And of course, congratulations.
I think you should come and tell us in the What's Up Today? thread, so that this one doesn't go off topic. -
Rebecca has left doghorn, and is travelling, so I'm not sure if it's still available....
-
I think I found Chris's section the hardest aswell. It's been a while now.. is there a third part? If so, I would recommend skimming Chris's section, rather than giving up. Although, I do think that some different things happened to him..?
-
Charm, your query has been merged with an existing thread. There's also a thread about The Mephisto Club, an interview with Tess, plus she was a Featured Author.

I picked up 'Deadline' by accident in the library last week. Have never heard of the author before but the blurb on the cover sounded like a good plot so I thought i would give it a go.Was it Relentless, as there's a discussion about it here? sorry!
I decided to merge both threads anyway, under just his name.

Would you believe that Beth, who loves Dr Who, found Merlin too scary?? She's an odd girl! LOL

It's a good idea for a competition prize.. I shall keep it in mind.
-
I've just won a years membership too which will come in very handy as it won't be long before I hit the 200 mark.
Ooh.. where did you win that?

Some of the groups on LibraryThing are pretty busy, but I do personally think that forums are more user-friendly. I guess that most people over there are yet to find us!?
However, I do love it for keeping myself my organised, by using the tags.
