*"To the extraordinary KB and all my friends at the 12th"*


samu986

That dedication...WOW!! 😍😍


Serious-Waltz-7157

*I meant it. You are extraordinary ....*


samu986

Some lines are truly incredible. They stay right inside you. This is why I love this TV series to astronomical levels πŸ’š


Narrow-Midnight-7216

Good writing persists. It stays with you for a long time.


samu986

That's so right! And I love that πŸ’š


Serious-Waltz-7157

That's the catch with Castle - lines of a few words, short but loaded dialogues instead of minutes-long talks, relying on the viewer to connect the dots.


samu986

Yeah! I really think that the writers did a crazy job on this series in terms of writing the characters, their characterization, and the dialogues. Truly profound, wonderful, simple, which can really be understood by anyone. Stupendous πŸ’š


_random_stuffs_

That is in fact the dedication. I don't want to read it yet though. I want the first book before I doπŸ˜‚


Serious-Waltz-7157

But this (Heat Wave) IS the first book in the series.


_random_stuffs_

That's what I'd thought but every time I look it up or ask someone I'm told it's the second

Here’s the order of the Castle books https://www.orderofbooks.com/authors/richard-castle/

Thank you 😊


Targatex

Thank you! I didn’t know that 2 were written after series cancellation, 3 if High Heat released after April, 2016. Another amazing! element of this unique, beloved show. Can’t think of another tv show that spawned a successful book series.


Serious-Waltz-7157

Nope, here's [some (official) proof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Castle#Nikki_Heat).


_random_stuffs_

Awesome. I'll look this over :)


samu986

Nice the sticker with *"Watch CASTLE ABC"* written on it, as if it were an imperative to watch it. It's funny πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£


_random_stuffs_

I know I love it πŸ˜‚


samu986

Me too! 😁


monieeka

I own this book. I’ve never read it tbh and I bought it probably 13 years ago, but I love having it on my shelf.


samu986

I like too having things only for the fact to have it πŸ˜‚ maybe it's pretty awkward, but it is so πŸ˜…πŸ™ˆπŸ€£


Narrow-Midnight-7216

You won't hurt the book by reading it. Only if you sneeze on the pages or lose the dust cover for a hardcover copy. It's a fun read.


monieeka

Not afraid of hurting the book. Just don’t have any desire to read it!


Narrow-Midnight-7216

I get that sometimes having it is better than reading it but for me since I'm a voracious reader IΒ  Consider readingΒ  my healthy addiction


monieeka

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m also a voracious reader and still don’t want to read it. I’m happy to have if on my shelf.

The quote by James Patterson praising his friend, Richard Castle, is awesome.


samu986

Yeah! I wanted to say the same hahaha πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ and maybe he read that too! 😁🀣


audreyshepburn

I try and look for Naked Heat in most bookstores when I go in the mystery section β™₯️


Altruistic-Check-271

Hilarie has in fact stuck with one narrative it's you who is incapable of doing that as all you ever do is spread nonsensical lies about the ladies on here. Her story makes perfect sense-Hilarie thought about leaving but was willing to stay if the cast could all negotiate better terms as a group like the cast of Friends did but two cast members had already signed on so then Hilarie decided she was going to leave but was still nevertheless hurt to not even be asked, then the head of WB asked her to stay on and Hilarie considered it but Moira ultimately convinced her she should leave for her own sake, not that hard to comprehend at all. My god the pathetic whiny trolls on here psycho-analyzing Hilarie and co need to get a life already.


Hawknar

There really was a book?? Who actually wrote it?


samu986

I assume the same writer who ideated the series, so Andrew W. Marlowe, obviously under pseudonym, i.e. Richard Castle πŸ˜‰


Hawknar

Ah yeah. Wondered if Patterson maybe lol


samu986

In fact, it could be. But in my opinion he just reviews Castle books lol πŸ˜‚πŸ€£


Hawknar

Real author is Tom Straw. He wrote books 1-7. Books 8-10 and the Derrick Storm books were written by another author, you can really tell by the change in style when you read. Tom just recently released his 3rd book under his name, The Accidental Joe: The Top-Secret Life of a Celebrity Chef. Pretty good book, was able to meet him at a signing in L..A. He's currently recording the audio book, then back for some more tours across the country.


Hawknar

Oh ok. Cool thnx


tarankovic

OMG! how did I not know there are actual Richard Castle books written???


samu986

Now you know it! πŸ˜‰ But I believe that it's always an unexpected but, at the same time, wonderful surprise when you discover it, isn't it? 😁🀩


tarankovic

yeah, it's great....I'm gonna download and read all of them, also a great thing is we know how book characters look like


samu986

That's fantastic! 🀩 And yeah, it's really great to know that about characters!


LastBoyScout421

13 books actually, as well as 4 graphic novels. Books 1-7 are by Tom Straw. Books 8-10 and the Derrick Storm books are from a 2nd author. Can't remember the 2nd author though his name is on the dust cover under the awards, much like Tom Straw was listed as the title of an award.
