Waiting on Wednesday- Gods of Guilt by Michael Connelly

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. This day allows us to share news on upcoming releases that have us on the edge of our seats in anticipation.

 I have been a big fan of Michael Connelly from very early on. There are very few early books that I need to catch up on. The Harry Bosch series is one of my favorite detective series. This book is another character who has his own series named Mickey Haller. I really like the detail that this series has pertaining to legal matters. I still get the courtroom drama of a John Grisham book but with some amazing action and twists. Here is the Goodreads description:
Defense attorney Mickey Haller returns with a haunting case in the gripping new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. 

Mickey Haller gets the text, "Call me ASAP - 187," and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game.

When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger.

Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt. The Gods of Guilt shows once again why "Michael Connelly excels, easily surpassing John Grisham in the building of courtroom suspense" (Los Angeles Times).
I am a bit behind on Connelly's books, because I have branched out and found so much more to read, but every time I see a new Connelly book coming out I have to get it as soon as budget allows. One of these days I will catch up on all of his books, but for now I still get excited at the prospect of a trip to the book store. I'm really looking forward to this book after I read the description.

This book will be released December 2, 2013 and it is the fifth book in the Mickey Haller series.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
