This event is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and features books that we are eagerly anticipating. My choice for this week is:
Publisher: William Morrow
Available January 17th
#3 in the Raylan Givens series
With the closing of the Harlan County, Kentucky, coal mines, marijuana has become the biggest cash crop in the state. A hundred pounds of it can gross $300,000, but that’s chump change compared to the quarter million a human body can get you—especially when it’s sold off piece by piece.
So when Dickie and Coover Crowe, dope-dealing brothers known for sampling their own supply, decide to branch out into the body business, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens to stop them. But Raylan isn’t your average marshal; he’s the laconic, Stetson-wearing, fast-drawing lawman who juggles dozens of cases at a time and always shoots to kill.
I have not read any of this series as yet. I have watched Justified, the FX TV series based on Elmore Leonard's character. It stars Timothy Olyphant and my husband and I enjoy it a lot. The 3rd season also begins on January 17th. The star is just too, too cute. Not sure I'll take to the books, but we'll see.
I'm not positive, but I think Timothy Olyphant was in the HBO series "Deadwood." Yes, he is rather cute, isn't he? ;) Might just have to take a peek at Justified. Thanks, Kay. :)
ReplyDeleteI have not read this series...or watched the TV series, although I have the first dvds ready to go.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, I didn't realize Justified was based on books! Silly me! The story sounds pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick :)
ReplyDeleteLes - yep, TO was on Deadwood.
Here's my WOW pick.

Sounds interesting - I've only read a few EL novels, but they were quite good.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW for the week.
Oh, this one sounds good! Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that would be my problem. The books may be good but if I don't get to look at Timothy it just wouldn't be the same. ;)
ReplyDeleteI need to get the dvds for Justified. I think Olyphant is a hottie ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Timothy Olyphant! Would watch (almost) anything that he's in. I'll have to check out this series!
ReplyDeleteThanks for swinging by my blog today ~ Happy Reading :)
My husband and I both have loved Elmore Leonard's novels. We have read one in quite some time and looks like we missed out on this Western series on tv. I've marked the date so we can check it out.
