Claire loves to read!

I was nominated for this challenge on Facebook and thought I'd share it here :-)

This challenge is to list 10 books that you've read and that have stayed with you, and to nominate 10 friends to do the same.
I could probably list a hundred at least, but here are ten that spring to mind right now.
My 10:-
1. The Stand by Stephen King. Although this wasn't the first King book I read, it was the one that made me want to read each and every other book by him.
2. Gallows View by Peter Robinson. This introduced me to the author and the brilliant DCI Banks, now brought to life in the ITV1 series.
3. No Time For Goodbye by Linwood Barclay. Just fantastic.
4. Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. Best debut I'd read in a while; engrossing.
5. Heartsick by Chelsea Cain. Cain introduces female serial killer Gretchen Lowell in this novel.
6. Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs. Long before Bones, Temperance Brennan first appeared in this great crime/medical thriller.
7. The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower #7) by Stephen King. OMFG! King ends his magnificent series with a genius ending that blew me away.
8. Along Came A Spider by James Patterson. The fantastic Alex Cross debut.
9. Otherkind by Mia Romero. This debut from promising new author Romero encompasses so many favourite genres - supernatural/ mystery/thriller/romance/crime/fantasy. A spectacular first novel.
10. Path Of The Gods by James Val'Rose. A brilliant fantasy from new author Val'Rose. One reviewer (not me!) calling it "better than Lord of the Rings" - praise indeed!
