- Yrsa Sigurdardottir – Ashes to Dust
- Jan Costin Wagner – Silence
- Jo Nesbo – The Leopard

Which titles from Karen’s list have you read so far?
Which titles and/or authors are more appealing to you?
>You are doing so well Jose Ignacio. I have not read a single one of those books – though do have a couple on my TBR. One of my problems is that I am behind the current book in several series and I have a 'thing' about not reading out of order. Oh well, I'll wait to see what the shortlist looks like before deciding whether or not to tackle it this year.
>You bring quite an interesting issue, Bernadette. Should we read all authors in order? I personaly have decided in some cases no to. If their last book is appealing I'll always have time to get back to the previous books.
>José Ignacio – I, too, am very impressed with your progress on this! You and Bernadette do raise an interesting question, really. Is it necessary to read all authors in order? I admit that I don't always, although it's my preference. If it's a very good series, I can make enough sense of any one given novel that I don't need to have read previous entries in the series. Then I can go back later if I want.
>I've only read BAD INTENTIONS and none of the others feature anywhere on TBR. I'll watch your posts with interest Jose Ignacio
