I've been listening to a bunch of Amish murder mysteries. Really enjoying them. By Linda Castillo. Even though it's on an Amish backdrop, they are not for the faint of heart.

Slowly going through This Present Darkness right now.

Great one!  The Oath is my personal favorite of his.

^^Same.

I haven't read any of these for over 20 years now, but I remember TPD being my favourite. Although his kids series was pretty enjoyable as well.

I can't find it, but somewhere in this thread I mention reading all of the Peretti books (except Prophet - I don't like that one).

The unique thing about Peretti is that his stories REQUIRE Christianity.  Many Christian authors just write stories where the characters happen to be Christian, With Peretti, with the exception of Illusion, the stories don't make any sense without it.

Yeah, Cooper Kids was the first "big-kid" book series I read... still one of my favorites.

I think I liked Piercing the Darkness just as much as the first one, so don’t miss it, either.

That's true... never realized that before.

Yeah, I'm gonna read that one once I'm done with TPD. Then I'll probably read the Oath next. Before this I'd only read the Cooper Kids series and House.

The Martian by Andy Weir

I’m making my way through Preston & Child’s Reliquary. 

The Third Jihad - Michael Youssef

Finished TPD... onto Piercing the Darkness now!

A couple more Dirk Pitt novels by Clive Cussler - Arctic Drift and Black Wind.

Started this year with reading "The King of Elfland's Daughter" to my wife. I listened to it on audio last year. Really enjoyed it. It's from 1924.

Just finished Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley

Highly recommended for any parent, especially those with younger kids.
