I didn't see a topic on this yet, so I thought I should add one.

How about keeping a list of all of Castle's books as the show mentions/shows them?

The books are followed by the first place I (or someone else) noticed them. The same set are often shown repeatedly -. In the first ep, when they go to the apartment of Kyle Cabot, he's got multiple copies of the same book throughout.

Nikki Heat

• Heat Wave

Derek Storm

• Storm Fall (Last Storm novel) - Ep 1 – book launch, Kyle's apartment
• Gathering Storm - Ep 1 – Kyle's apartment – there are two different spines shown with this title
• Unholy Storm (6th Storm novel) - Ep 6 – Castle mentions it while standing over 1st murder victim
• Storm's Last Stand - Ep 1 – Kyle's apartment
• Storm Season – Ep 7 – When Castle is talking to the bumpkey guy
• Storm Rising
• Storm's Break - Ep 1 – Kyle's apartment
• Storm Warning
• The calm before the Storm (not quite positive on the title, it's a little blurry)
• Storm Approaching - Ep 1 – When Alexis and Castle talk in hallway of apartment – first cover hanging on wall. It's a little blurry

Others

• Death of a Prom Queen - Ep 1 – 3rd murder victim from book, Kyle's apartment
• Flowers For Your Grave - Ep 1 – 1st murder victim from book, Kyle's apartment
• Hell Hath No Fury  - Ep 1 – 2nd murder victim shown (actually first) from book, KYle's apartment
• A Skull at Springtime - Ep 1 – When Ryan passes a stack of books to Esposito, Kyle's apartment
• At Dusk We Die - Ep 1 – Book Ryan is holding when he announces “from the library ofKatherine beckett”
• When it comes to Slaughter - Ep 1 – Kyle's apartment
• A Rose for Everafter - Ep 1 – Kyle's apartment
• In a Hail of Bullets – Richard Castle bio for Heat Wave book

Any that I've missed so far?

I took most of the list directly from wikipedia – although I did update their site this morning to add two books they were missing. I've been rewatching the first episode and when they go through Kyle's apartment they show lots of the book covers.

Oh, already missed one – Storm Fall.

Ooh. I think you're right. I'll add it to the list.

This is the best composit of Castle books I have found anywhere online! Thanks so much to everyone who's contributed.

Looking over the list I have made from other sites, I found two books that were forgotten.

Bullets and Bracelets

Dead Man's Chest

Very neat! Awesome list.

I was just thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to add (beside the title of the novel, for example) the episode(s) that the titles are seen in, that way anyone who's curious knows where to go to find said novel. Just throwing it out there, though I'm sure you don't have time to add them all right away, maybe people can start posting future novel titles with the episode titles as well.

I think that's a good idea as well.
