Amos Decker Series (Books in Order)
An injury ended Amos Decker’s career almost as soon as it started. A violent collision during an NFL play caused a serious brain injury, after which he developed both hyperthymesia and synesthesia. He now had an extraordinary memory and could also see numbers, people and memories in the form of colors.

We start the series roughly sixteen months after Decker has already lost his police career, following the murder of his wife, daughter and brother-in-law. But after a mass shooting at a local high school, he gets back to work, and then he joins an FBI special task force. By Redemption, four years have passed since the murder of his family. In the series, there are two people he works closely with, Alex Jamison, who first appears as a journalist and later works with Decker on FBI cases, and Special Agent Frederica “Freddie” White, whom we first meet in Long Shadows.

Atlee Pine Series (Books in Order)
If there is one series that should be read in publication order, it’s Atlee Pine. Atlee is an FBI agent and the only one working out of Shattered Rock, Arizona, with the Grand Canyon being one area she has to protect whole also trying to find her missing sister.
- Long Road to Mercy, 2018

At the same time, she is still struggling with the disappearance of her sister, Mercy, who was taken back when the two were six years old, after a man entered their bedroom, attacked Atlee and took Mercy.
This is a history that weighs on Atlee who has never given up the search for her sister, and that’s why the books should be read in order. The search continues through the series, including in Daylight, where John Puller enters the story and the two series cross over as Atlee and John’s investigations collide. The last book, Mercy, focuses entirely on, well, Mercy.
Atlee Pine books reviewed on Mystery Sequels:
Aloysius Archer Series (Books in Order)
Aloysius Archer is the one series that is different from the previous ones as it takes place in the past. The series is set in postwar America, beginning in 1949 when Archer, a WWII veteran, leaves prison on parole after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. One condition for staying free is that he finds a job. In One Good Deed, he arrives in Poca City, where he finds a job as a debt collector, which should be simple enough to do. Except a murder almost gets him back behind bars again.
- One Good Deed, 2019
- A Gambling Man, 2021
- Dream Town, 2022
- Boom Town, 2027
By A Gambling Man, Archer is on his way to California. Along the way he meets aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, and after reaching Bay Town, he starts working as an apprentice to Willie Dash, a former FBI agent who is now working as a private investigator. In Dream Town, it’s the beginning of 1953, and Archer is now a full-fledged private investigator. Here both Liberty and Willie are still part of the story.
It’s interesting to follow the progression of the years in this series. The books don’t pick up immediately after the previous case, and while the first two books take place in 1949, Dream Town begins on New Year’s Eve in 1952, which allowed Archer to get experience in his job off-page as well. By Dream Town, a few years have passed since he left the prison behind. When Boom Town picks up his story again, he is working from his own West Hollywood office.
Travis Devine / 6:20 Man Series (Books in Order)
The nickname The 6:20 Man that Travis Devine gets in the series is from the commuter train he takes in Manhattan every morning. Travis is a former Army Ranger who has left his military career behind and now works at an investment firm as an entry-level financial analyst.
- The 6:20 Man, 2022
- The Edge, 2023
- To Die For, 2024
- All In, 2026
While his nickname remains throughout the entire series, his Wall Street job does not. In the very first book, Sara Ewes, a colleague and former girlfriend, is found dead in the office building. At the same time, someone who knows Devine’s past career asks him to investigate his own firm for shady stuff. In The Edge, he is sent to Maine where he investigates the murder of a CIA officer, and To Die For follows closely after the events in The Edge. Now Travis goes to the Pacific Northwest to assist the FBI.
By All In, Travis is now an established federal investigator, which is a far cry from the ordinary finance job on Wall Street that he wanted to initially build. The first investigation in The 6:20 Man pushes him towards something that is much closer to the work he used to do before.
Walter Nash Series (Books in Order)
Walter Nash starts the series as a successful senior executive at Sybaritic Investments, with a career that is all about finance, acquisitions and business deals. In Nash Falls, the FBI asks him to investigate his own company in secret. Nash would be their man inside.
- Nash Falls, 2025
- Hope Rises, 2026
In Hope Rises, everything changed. Now Nash is living under the alias Dillon Hope. It took him roughly a year and a half since the old life of Nash started disintegrating. Now he looks very different and acts differently from the businessman he was in Nash Falls and is ready to work his way into Victoria’s world, gain her trust and get close to her organization. The book titles are very revealing as well. In Nash Falls, Walter Nash’s life begins to fall apart, and Hope Rises shows the man he was forced to become.

Baldacci Crossovers: Where the Novels Fit
Reading order
- Read each David Baldacci series separately. There is no single combined reading order.
- Daylight and Walk the Wire belong with their main series; Bullseye is an optional Will Robie/Camel Club crossover story.
Daylight is the third Pine novel, after Long Road to Mercy and A Minute to Midnight. Atlee crosses paths with Army investigator John Puller while they are working different cases, and the two investigations come together. You don’t need to read Puller’s four books first, although you’ll obviously know more about him if you have.
Walk the Wire is Amos Decker #6, following Redemption. Will Robie appears during Decker’s investigation, with Jessica Reel and Blue Man turning up as well. Read it with the Decker series. Knowing Robie and Reel before it simply fleshes them out a little. Hachette lists Walk the Wire in the Amos Decker/Memory Man series.
Bullseye is the one David Baldacci wrote specifically as a crossover story. The 2014 short story puts Will Robie and Camel Club leader Oliver Stone together during a bank robbery, with the rest of the Camel Club becoming involved as well. Hachette officially describes it as a Will Robie/Camel Club short story. It was published after The Hit and before The Target, so that is the best place to read it with the Robie books. Camel Club readers can leave it until after Hell’s Corner, the fifth main Camel Club novel. But you won’t be missing part of either main series if you skip it.
How David Baldacci Researches His Thrillers
To write their books, authors should know something about the topic, but often that is not enough, especially when it comes to the military, FBI and Secret Service. There are limits to what a novelist can make up, and David Baldacci mentioned that research is critical for his books. He first learns the basics, then figures out who are the people to approach who have done that job.
In David Baldacci’s case, there is a personal connection involved as well. His older sister was a journalist who would take him on assignments back when he was in college. This way he could watch her interview people and gain their trust. Several years later, he said that when researching, he takes off the novelist’s hat and puts on a journalist’s hat.
When writing his debut novel, Absolute Power, he was already working that way. Back then, David Baldacci was a full-time lawyer working in an office near the White House. The Secret Service was part of his story, so he started asking around if anyone knew any agents. Eventually, he got a contact person, but before speaking with him, he researched the service so he wouldn’t ask him questions he could find answers to in a book. Baldacci was merely interested in the details that standard books wouldn’t give him. Over the years, he would get more contacts in the FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals, and other related parts of the government.
For Last Man Standing, the research went way beyond doing interviews. He had to research the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, so he visited the HRT Headquarters, went on a tour of the facilities and spent some time with the operators there. His main contact became former FBI agent and HRT member Christopher Whitcomb who would talk to him not only about training and missions but also about how that work would affect the agents themselves and their families.
Once Whitcomb brought night-vision equipment into Baldacci’s office so they could experiment with it in a darkened conference room. One of the clues he later used in the novel came directly from something he noticed through the goggles. During that same research he also learned to ride a horse and to fire a machine gun.
For John Puller, he researched another part of the army he wanted to write about. He spent several days at Fort Benning, where he jumped from a parachute tower, went to the sniper range and fired rifles at 600-metre targets, did Humvee rollover exercises and Army functional fitness training with two master sergeants. He also visited the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory at Fort Gillem, the same forensic lab Puller uses in Zero Day to analyze evidence for his investigation. David Baldacci said he was the first author to visit that facility.
As scary as it sounds, the military was not quite an unfamiliar field to David Baldacci. His father served in the Navy, all of his uncles served in the armed forces, and he had also made friends with people in the military. That was a background that was a part of what made him want to create John Puller and bring in a world that he had not yet used in his books before.
And then he went in a whole new direction when creating Travis Devine and Walter Nash. David Baldacci said that his idea for The 6:20 Man came after reading the Pandora Papers and imagining the potential of all that hidden money being used. He also read the Panama Papers when researching for the Devine books, and some of that work went into Nash Falls. His legal and business experience gave him a head start, but he had to learn more about the shady side of business like money laundering, and the financial world of Nash.
For David Baldacci, research is more than just fact-checking before writing. He said that he would get new plot ideas from things he discovered while researching like some new equipment or a scientific possibility, but the hard part would come after that. And yet, very little of all that collected material would end up in his novels. His rule is to know more than he puts on the page but don’t turn the thriller into a textbook.

About David Baldacci
David Baldacci was born in 1960 and grew up in a blue-collar family in Richmond, Virginia. He started writing early, after his mother gave him a notebook in elementary school to jot down his stories. After he finished high school at Henrico High School, he wrote several shorter stories. He continued writing them while studying at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree, and then paid for his tuition by working odd jobs, including as a night security guard at Pinkerton. He later earned his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.
After law school, he worked as a lawyer in Washington, D.C. for several years, eventually working on corporate and business cases. However, he would continue writing short stories and screenplays late at night or early in the morning before work.
David Baldacci sold his debut novel, Absolute Power, in 1994 while still practicing law. The next year, in 1995, he left Holland & Knight to write full time. The book, published in 1996, became a bestseller and was adapted into a film in 1997.
Over the years, he changed the types of thrillers and characters he wrote. His protagonists were Secret Service agents, military investigators, government assassins, FBI agents, private investigators and businessmen as well. He also wrote historical crime, family drama, and Christmas stories, not to mention young adult and children’s books.
His books are published in more than 45 languages in more than 80 countries, and more than 200 million copies have sold so far around the world. In addition, he and his wife, Michelle, founded the Wish You Well Foundation in 2002 to support adult and family literacy programs in the US. In 2008, together with Feeding America, they created Feeding Body & Mind, where they would donate books through food banks. He has also been involved with organizations like the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

I wasn’t happen the way Absolute power’s ended, cuz, I love Client Eastwood, and he died In the book , but I love all your books , I’ve read them several times over the years. Thanx again.
David Baldacci’s books are solid if you’re into thrillers with a lot of twists and turns. His series, like Amos Decker or Will Robie, are good for getting into a longer story, but the standalone books are nice if you want something you can finish quickly.
I am an avid David Baldacci fan. Just finished Simply Lies I have all his books ???? except the Children’s books. Can’t wait for the next one to come ou. Have started reading all his books in order. Just finished End Games last night. I Love how he does short chapters cause you keep saying one more one more LOL. THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR CHILD DAVID BALDACCI AND HIS WONDERFUL GIFT.
I am a British mystery reader for the most part. Have read many many of them Found this book called the Camel Club by a writer David Baldacci – never heard of him before. Could not put the book down! So am off to read that series now. Then off to read more of David’s books. I have many of his to read which makes me happy. He just captures you from the Git Go. Exciting to find a wonderful new author to read….
I have read over 30 of the great mans books and enjoyed reading them. Don’t know what I will read when i have read them all
I’ve read every Baldacci book and cannot wait for next one. It is like therapy during covid. I read the first one, True Blue, many moons ago while on safari in Namibia. A guest left the book in a camp that we stayed in. What good luck! Here in South Africa every new book is a best-seller.
Thank you for this complete list. I have read nearly all of David Baldacci’s books. In 2019, while visiting my children in England, we were lucky to attend an author luncheon with him. He was a good speaker, as well as a writer.
Should the series books be read in publication order? I’m in the middle of the Memory Man series now (the Fallen) and the Camel Club series came in the mail today. I’m interested in the John Puller series so should I read that series after the camel club series but before the Will Robie series based on publication dates?
I just found this site and LOVE IT— thank you! I, like you, first read Absolute Power. But I read it only a few months ago. I’m now 6-7 books further into Baldacci, but nothing quite reaches the level of AP for me. If you have any suggestions that are similar or as amazing as that one was, let me know! Otherwise I’ll just keep plugging through every standalone book and every series — loving every minute of it. And I’ve now bookmarked your page, thanks again!
True Blue leaves you wishing that Mace will somehow get back on the force and Roy will be right by her side the whole way, but there should be a book about it. Why has the story been left hanging for so long? The book was excellently written, and there is ample material left unresolved that practically demands a sequel. I don’t want more books about characters that have already been a part of several books so far. I want a True Blue sequel up next. (Blue Line? Shades of Blue? Fade to Blue?)
Please, please let’s see a return of Mace Perry!
I love his books the Amos Decker series is my favorite so far. Can’t wait for the new one.
Are you finished with JohnPuller. Will Robbie. King and Maxwell…..
I have read everything he has written except the kids books. The books are great and can be read by pretty much anyone. I have really enjoyed the Amos Decker series.
I agree. Especially Baldacci’s Will Robbie series is a must-read! Once you start, you won’t be able to stop.
Am a big fan first started reading the will Robbie series then got into the respective john puller an Amos decker series an I could not put them down really addictive page turner just really great books
Absolute Power was the best, it grabbed you and held on to the very end. You can’t help but wait anxiously for his next book, and the best part is that his books are all different, there’s no monotony and lots of surprises!
Keep up the good work David, we love your books.
As with many others my first Baldacci book was “Absolute Power”, a really great read, I couldn’t put it down. I spent every spare minute reading it and have been hooked ever since.
Keep on writing David, we love your books!
I have read all of David’s books up to Memory Man, which I thought was the best book written by him, and will read the rest. The Escape was long awaited and overdue, was also a great book. There has NOT been a book by David that has not held my interest from beginning to end. Thank You David Baldacci and keep up the good work.
Thank you for this info on David Baldacci!
Thank you so very much. This has been extremely helpful.
I have read 17 of Mr. Baldacci’s books. I loved each and every one. I’m starting on Simple Genius and look forward to my time reading. I do agree that if possible to read them in order. I just finished No Man’s Land in the John Puller series. This was a great book, well worth your time.
Could you write another book on the shaw series, I just feel the story still needs completion. I am still on edge wanting to read the next book and maybe final, but I realise that’s all there is. ????
HOW IS SOMEONE WITH NO E READER OR PC SUPPOSED TO READ BULLSEYE??? WE ASSUMED THIS WAS A FUN STORY TO WRAP UP THE CAMEL CLUB SERIES THAT MY 89 YEAR FATHER HAS BEEN READING?? ALSO IS HELL’S CORNER THE FINAL STORY IN THAT SERIES OR NOT ?
Bullseye is also a bonus in the 2014 paperback reissue of THE CHRISTMAS TRAIN. So if you can get hold of that reissue edition, it will be included. So far Hell’s Corner is the last book written in the series, yes.
Perhaps David should collaborate with James Patterson on a book, it would surely be a smash hit and almost certain a film!
I have read all of his books and wait eagerly for the next. I have kept all of his books as feel one day will read them again. You are in front of us in the US. If I had to say what I liked the most I suppose I would say the King and Maxwell series.
This guy’s books are just!! Phenomenal!!! Just can’t Lt go of the book…..I read one of his books 15 days ago and now I’m reading his 20th book!! And yes go in a sequence my suggestion…..! Wonder which will be his nxt book….
Have read several and enjoyed every one. Would love to see a sequel to Last Man Standing.
Yes please, I would love a sequel to Last Man Standing.
I have just read True Blue and I am looking for a sequel. Mace perry is one of the liveliest characters I ever found. It is compleletly interesting the possiblity that she discivers who framed her in prison; and also whether jason urns will come soon to do damage with a new USA admnistration.
Totally hooked on David’s books at present.
Camel club…tick
A Shaw …tick
Now to sort out what I’ve read as paperbacks, so I can download more to my Kindle …hence the visit to this sight.

Just want to say thank you, and appreciate your writing.
I have read nearly every book in all the series David Baldacci has written as well as all the stand alone books. The Christmas Train I had put off until finding myself in a cabin in a rainstorm. Would definitely recommend it for those who haven’t read it. Also, I take audible books with me when walking. Can’t say enough good about Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy who reads the Puller and Robie series
I read The Christmas Train and loved it as well!!! I had a huge smile on my face when it was over!! Great book…. if you haven’t read this stand alone book, folks…. pick it up!!! It is a great read!!
I just finished “True Blue”……I want a sequel — is Mace finally back on the force?? Has Mona been placed behind bars? Has a doctor been successful in helping Ty speak? Is Razor ceo of a fantastic company? And what about Roy???? Is he sharing his life with Mace??? So many questions – NO ANSWERS until a another exciting chapter..make that chapters comes from the great mind of mystery. WE NEED ANSWERS!!!! DON’T LEAVE ME HANGING!!!!! Such a great adventure…..missing the characters already! Thank you for your never ending strive for the best!
Me too! We need a sequel to this great book and fab characters!!!!!
I have read most of his books except for the ones that stand alone. Great writer keeps you interested in the whole book. Unlike some books you pick up you think there going to be interesting but after a few chapters your so bored with it you never finish reading it.
I loved Zero Day. It was fast paced and kept me reading. I finally had to put it away and get some sleep.When I woke up at 5 a.m. was back at it again. Just could not wait to find out what John Puller and the local law would find out. What amazing writing; finished the book today got it yesterday. Now I will read The Winner, hope it turns out to be another great book.
I HAVE READ ALL OF HIS BOOKS EXCEPT THE CHRISTMAS STORY WHICH I UNDERSTAND HE DID NOT WRITE.
I LOVE ALL OF HIS BOOKS. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEWEST EDIITON TO COME OUT.
HOW BRILLIANT CAN ONE PERSON BE????
MY FAVORITE BOOK EVER?: THE WINNER. #2 WAS ABSOLUTE POWER. BUT THERE WERE SOME OTHERS THAT I COULD NOT RESIST. THANK YOU, GOD FOR DAVID BALDACCI!
I TELL EVERYONE YOU ARE THE VERY BEST AUTHOR. I NEED A SIGNED COPY OF YOUR BOOK!
Just finished Memory Man. One of only a few books that I could hardly put down. Awaiting the next Amos.
I am 80, retired, avid reader, Baldacci a favorite!!!
Cannot find the first Shaw book where he meets Katie James because she followed him to a church where he meets his contact for weapons and it goes bad and he saves her and from there the story goes on. He even helps her with her drinking problem. But I have not been able to find the name of the title anywhere. Can anyone please help me out here?
Also, the next Jack Reacher shoud be Timothy Olyphant…….much TALLER.
I have all of Baldacci’s books, have read them in order of their printing not in character order still wonderful reads, ..it is just like re- visiting an old friends………….love them.
This is perfect. I adore David Baldacci’s books but haven’t read any in the correct order, not that it’s spoiled my enjoyment in anyway. Hell’s Corner was the first one I read, having heard him talking about it on the radio and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. I have so many titles on my shelves still waiting to be read…
I have just finished True Blue and wonder if there is a sequel? Thoroughly enjoyed the book. We are big fans of David BAldacci and have read most of his books.
I too have read all except Jane Vega series. I do though recommend reading the Camel Club in order as the characters get added in the series.
It would be great to see a Mace Perry sequel but I wonder how it would work, I’m sure that David would be able to make it something to look forward to reading, a True Blue author that he is.
I live in Oz and have collected your books over the last few years. Now reading them in order and enjoying the adventures of the CMel Club (are there more to come) and Sean and Maxwell. Just missing a couple from the other series and looking forward to getting them here.thank you for providing such wonderful stories for me to read.
Mr. Baldacci – I have read ALL of your political thrillers. (am just waiting for the Escape to come out in paperback. My hands are arthritic and I can no longer hold hard covered books in my hands & I am loathe to read novels on a computer). You have ruined me for any other author. Can you tell me if you are planning to write any more about all of my heroes – King & Maxwell, Robie & Reel, John Puller (after the Escape), Oliver Stone & Web London? Can you tell me if you like classical music? My husband is a classical composer and has written exquisite, melodic, contemporary classical music. I would love to send you a CD as my gift to you, to give you as much listening pleasure as you have given me reading pleasure. Eileen Cohn
Hi I am desperately looking for a book written by David Baldacci. Where an empty suv car is found with a baby inside it but the mother has gone no trace of her. Please could you just tell me the name of the book

I have read every book by Baldacci that I could get my hands on. I understand that he has a new book out (and I have forgotten the name) and am trying to find it. Hope you can help me!
I read Baldacci’s first novel, Absolute Power many years ago. I was hooked. I have read all his books. I was a little surprised reading The Finisher.
I am looking for a hard copy of “Absolute Power”. I have paper back would like hard back copy. I finally found copies of all his books, now trying to find hardback copies. Going to start with the first one. I have about 10 paper backs.
Thank You,
Barbara Taylor
Look in Goodwill stores
Thanks for taking the time to put the list together. I, too, am a big David Baldacci fan and buy his books as soon as they appear in the bookstore.
In the past few weeks I have read the Sean King and Michelle Maxwell series again and I must say I enjoyed them even more having read them sequentially and without a big gap between each book! Would love another in the King and Maxwell series, especially now that Edgar is on the team. Will Michelle ever be able to clean out her truck???
Now to read the Camel Club series again, then the Will Robie series….
I thoroughly enjoy books by David Baldacci, and have only begun reading them within the last six months.In that amount of time, I’ve read his Will Robie series (minus ‘Bullseye’ and the Camel Club and John Puller series (minus ‘The Escape’. The amazing thing I’ve discovered is ….I’ve basically read them ‘out of succession’..but have nonetheless discovered the undeniable continuity throughout! His storytelling ability keeps me wanting MORE…!
I have really enjoyed the Camel Club series. All the characters are so believable. I have never been disappointed in reading your books. Thank you.
Love all David Baldacci books especially the camel club series.
Wish I had found this site before I started reading.
I have read 12 of the books, mostly in order but not always.
Now I know what to do to finish off reading the rest in order
Just wondering if there was sequel to True Blue, with Mace Perry> If not why?
As far as I know, True Blood is still a standalone novel, there is no sequel to it (sadly).
Absolute Power was hands-down one of the best books I’ve ever read. I read it when it first came out and I started following David Baldacci almost immediately after reading it. When the trailer to the movie showed at the theatre, I yelped out loud I was so excited! I’ve re-read the book several times and I’ve seen the movie almost as much. Anyway, I digress. My second Fav by Mr. Baldacci is “True Blue” and I’ve been waiting rather impatiently for the sequel. I periodically check to see if there is any news on a sequel, and sadly nothing yet! If you have a direct line with Mr. Baldacci, maybe you could put in a “strong” and “very suggestive” word to him that a sequel is very much desired by his reading public. Especially now when America’s True Blue are being systematically targeted across this country with hatred and death threats from extremist groups. It’s always a good thing to put out books, fiction or otherwise, that celebrate what is the greatest police force in the world.
David Badacci True Blue needs a sequel badly . Can’t accept Mace is out of the blue , and that Roy and Mace are left off , without a definite conclusion . Please !!!! I read 20 books a month and I need mor input . Liane Boyce
Amen sister! I totally agree.
AGREED !!!!
My first book is “The Sixth Man”, and I want to read more of Sean’s and Michelle’s exciting thrillers! It’s a story filled with “who done it” and twists in each chapter and the end is a total shock to the reader as well as the two sleuths.
Needless to say, I’ve looked up the series, to follow their exploits from the beginning. “Absolute Power” is next on my list.
Thanks for providing the lists, and thanks for the great read!!!!!

In the last 5 years, since I retired, I’ve read 21 of his 27 books. I love them, and usually will devote a whole day to starting and finishing one because I just can’t lay them down. I wish he would do a new one on alzheimers and the scams that can be foisted on folks with this terrible affliction.
Thanks for the list. have read five of your books, all of them a good read. Would like some more of the John Puller.
I began my Baldacci Experience with the Will Robie series. Just finished The Target. Hope book #4 is in the works! And a big Thank You! for putting this list together!
The Target is book # 4. Book 3 of the Will Robie series
also written in 2014 is Bulleye
Loved the Will Robie series waiting on the 4th installment, I hope…..
When can your dedicated readers expect more “Will Robie” novels? The Camel Club series captivated my attention. Will you add a sequel? For anyone just starting to read your novels, I highly recommend “Wish You Well.” Beautifully written.
Please write more John Puller books. Really enjoyed the ones I read.
Thanks for taking time to list baldacci’s books in order.
I have read all of his books but I frequently recommend him to less voracious readers and I always struggle to remember the order of each series.
Have a blessed day!
I read “The Forgotten” and really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to reading more of his books. I will now know what order to read them in. Thank you for taking the time to compile this list
Thanks a million. Just what I was looking for. Haven’t read even one of the books yet, but now I know where I’m going to start..!
Ive read about 15 of davids book can’t get enough best books ive ever read big big fan.
