Four more books finished today. The tagged book was fantastic, another thriller anthology with well known characters written by numerous authors. The James Patterson was two true crimes in one, and the other two are Halloween themed. This is a total of 246 points for #TeamSlaughter!

“He bolted up the hall, lopsided on one shoe, each step jarring some truth into his hungover brain. That he wore wet, orange boxer shorts, a soaked white T-shirt, one sock, one shoe and no wallet, no pager, no ID, no car keys, and no fucking ChapStick.“ [187]

I feel your pain, Jeffrey. I take my ChapStick very seriously myself. One in pretty much every room of the house, a pocket of every coat, each purse/bag. It's important!

TrishB Me too! 5y

JoyBlue @jb72 Lucky you! 😉 I get stabby if my lips get dry. 🗡 5y

JoyBlue @TrishB @Mollyanna Hello, sisters! 5y

Zelma Same here. I have stopped and bought it when I realize I left it at home. It‘s a sickness. 5y

JoyBlue @Zelma I've read that it actually is an addiction. Sigh. One year, my lips got super-dehydrated on an extremely hot day. I switched to lanolin (nipple cream, believe it or not) for a few days. I hated how suffocating and sticky it was (but it worked). 5y

Zelma @JoyBlue it may be an addiction but at least it‘s not meth. 😏 in desperation, I‘ve used lotion too. 5y

JoyBlue @Zelma True—good point! 5y

iread2much I have switched to more natural versions of lip Balm, but I won‘t leave the house without it! I keep at least one in each purse, one in my work bag, one is my pockets and an emergency one in a bag I also put everyday things I need to add to a purse and/or workbag 😄 it‘s true that the larger brands do put in a lot of additives that can contribute to your needing chapstick, but for those of us with chronically dry lips balm is a must! 5y

JoyBlue @iread2much What brand works for you? 5y

iread2much @JoyBlue I use balm standard for day time https://www.balmstandard.com and L‘occitane pure Shea butter at night (also good for hands!) 5y

JoyBlue @iread2much Thanks for the recommendations! 5y

iread2much @JoyBlue my pleasure! 5y

JoyBlue @iread2much I just received my second order of Balm Standard. Thanks for hooking me up! 💙 4y

I have a new list of authors to try, thanks to this anthology! Of course, I'm excited that two of my favorites—Kathy Reichs and Lee Child—were matched up. Their story was among the especially good ones.

I was interested to learn that The International Thriller Writers (ITW) no longer charges membership dues. Instead, it publishes anthologies like this to support itself. So, I've added the 2014 anthology, FaceOff, to my wish list, as well.

JoyBlue It was hard to get a good shot, but you can see Milo, ball python extraordinaire's boop snoot in the doorway of his cool hide at the right of this shot. It's a little early for him to be peeking. Sadly, I don't have time to play with him right now (also, it's feeding night, so I'd better not get him excited, anyway). 🐍 💙 5y

iread2much What a cool concept! 5y

I‘ve been so out of sorts lately. Between conferences and vacation I‘m all off. As a result I haven‘t read or posted much. Slowly getting back into my groove. Started this book and love meeting a whole new set of characters to follow. The first story features my favorite game warden, Joe Pickett. Each story is introduced by Lee Childs and he tells a bit about the authors, their characters and how the story came about.

So take your favourite male and female thriller authors, pair them up into dynamic writing teams, add in their iconic and much beloved characters, boil with Lee Child‘s impeccable editing and you have MATCHUP. This book was such a pleasure to read. It was a combination of a walk with characters who are old friends with new topics and fresh writing. I can‘t imagine a thriller fan who wouldn‘t enjoy this.

vkois88 Oh, I need this! 6y

Picked this up from the campus bookstore. First story stars my favorite guy, Joe Pickett (by CJ Box)! #bookhaul

RaimeyGallant I enjoyed this one (and reviewed it on here), except for the fact that it seemed like so many of the authors opted for characters who said things I would never let be said around me without shutting them down. 6y

Airykah13 My boss showed me this one a few weeks ago and I meant to check it out. Thanks for the reminder! 6y

#TBRtemptation post 4! Recently released. 22 thriller writers, 11 men and 11 women, team up to bring you their iconic characters teaming up! I love this sort of thing! What a fun project 😁👏🏻👏🏻. Lee Coburn & Joe Pickett. Temperance Brennan & Jack Reacher. Liz Sansborough & Rambo. Harper Connelly & Ty Hauck. Ali Reynolds & Bravo Shaw. And many more! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

OwenBanner Let us know how it is! 7y

LibrarianJen I downloaded this from the library but I haven't gotten into it. I was hoping it would help me get a feel for all the authors I haven't read yet, but since I don't know their usual characters I feel like I'm missing something. 7y

I really enjoy these thriller anthologies. I find some new authors and get to see some of my favorite characters together in one story. I have to admit that I liked seeing Reacher and Temperance Brennan work together 😉

Chelleo I liked the Temperance/Reacher pairing too 😊 6y
