.

Also, I've found an awesome website called bookmooch where you basically trade your books for others. So far I've gotten 4 Gossip Girl Books (never read or seen the show), Water for Elephants, and Love the One You're With. It's pretty much my favorite website ever right now!

Thank you for that web site. I love it!!!

I just picked up The Looking Glass Wars yesterday and am pretty impressed with it so far (I'm 1/3 in). I don't get alot of free reading time due to grad school though--mostly articles and old poems/prose I already read before

I loved this book! It was so creative! The second installment, "Seeing Redd", wasn't as good, but definitely still enjoyable. Still no word yet on when the 3rd book is coming out.

BUT...."The Looking Glass Wars" has been optioned for a movie. I think it has the potential to be awesome!!!

Thank you for that web site. I love it!!!

(LOL< yes sometimes I read two books at a time...Im wierd, I know lol)

I am always reading at least two books, so I don't think it is weird at all. I am reading Suite Francaise by Irene Nemorovsky, To Live is Christ by Beth Moore, and I am rereading for about the 100th time Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

Dawn's Light by Terry Blackstock

Unfortunately, having been hired to teach a week and 1/2 before school started, I don't have much free time to read for fun. Looks like I'll mostly be reading the books I have to teach to the kids...
Right now it's "Glory Field" by Walter Dean Myers.

I am reading Toss of a lemon by Padma Viswanathan. It takes place in India. I have been into Indian fiction ever since I read Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake. We have a large Indian population in my town and I find the culture fascinating.

I just finished reading the latest Ridley Pearson, Disney at Dawn. It was pretty good, not as good as the first one but I LOVED all the Disney details. Looks like the next one will be about Disney Hollywood Studios.

I love the Stepanie Plum novels. The only problem with them is that they are so good that I finish them in just a few days and then have to wait for the next one to come out!

Not sure if my vote would go to Morelli or Ranger though!

So help me out with Nora Roberts - - I hear that she does some book trilogies that are kinda mystery? I like a little romance and anything that is historic.

Anybody else?

Oh by the way, I like ones I can find at the used book store or online cheap! Thanks

I love Nora Roberts and think I have read everything she has published. I don't like her JD Robb stuff though, too gory for me!
Her trilogies have some romance, some history and some magic mixed into most of them. I really like the ones with the fantasy and magic in them...here are a few of my favorites
Irish Trilogy
*Jewels of the Sun
*Tears of the Moon
*Heart of the Sea
Three Sisters Trilogy
*Face the Fire
*Dance Upon the Air
*Heaven and Earth
In the Garden Trilogy (these are REALLY good)
*Blue Dahlia
*Red Lily
*Black Rose
Circle Trilogy (these may be my favorites)
*Morrigan's Cross
*Dance of the Gods
*Valley of Silence
Her newest trilogy is Sign of Seven
*Blood Brothers
*The Hollow
*The Pagan Stone (coming out in Nov, can't wait!)

If you like the old folklore and magic stuff, you will like all of these.

I usually buy mine at Half Price Books but if I am eagerly awaiting a new release, I will preorder it on Amazon! Since I haven't been working, I have been trying to use the library more and the first two books in the Sign of Seven trilogy I checked out from there.

I had almost all of these and sold them to Half Price Books, I should have kept them and we could have started a book swap!!!

Happy Reading!

Disneyantic - Thank you so much I am going to check them out get one of the trilogies, although I think I read one set. It was about three princess that were locked up in little trunks and the modern ladies (who looked just like them) had to find the keys to open the trunks. Daughters of Glass they were called, there were poems and tapestries about them - very good books.

Thanks again for the help!!

They do read fast. I just finished fearless fourteen in like 2 days. I vote Dickie Orr (just kidding)

Currently:

American Creation---Joseph Ellis

Cool! Small world, he was a friend of my in-laws, and a history professors at my alma mater, Mount Holyoke.

I'm reading Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones (about time I got around to it!).

And reading recommendations? The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance was a really fun read, for mature audiences only. Full disclosure, I'm one of the featured authors, but I really enjoyed everyone else's story, too. If you're an adult Twilight fan, you might enjoy this. Also, I'm throwing in a shameless plug for my October release, Naughty or Nice (women's fiction/paranormal romance- Emily Giffin and I shared the same literary agent until recently ). Happy reading, everyone!

[Davyjones]

I'm currently reading Bloody Confused! by Chuck Culpepper. It's a true story about a disenchanted American sports writer who moves to England and becomes interested in the English Premier League (football/soccer).

Perry and Potter's Fundamentals of Nursing.

Sure wish I had time to read Sherri's book I just bought, To Hell With Love. Hopefully during the winter semester, which I will not be partaking.

Wow, thanks! I really appreciate your support. But gosh, the Fundamentals of Nursing sounds pretty engaging, too.

I've become an Agatha Christie fan in recent years. I've read many of her novels and a few of her short stories. At the moment, I'm about halfway through Hercule Poirot's final mystery known as "Curtain."

I seldom read novels for most of my life, but I now read them a lot more. I suppose I should have expected that to happen after I married a librarian.

I've just read Lost Ski Areas of the White Mountains
by Jeremy Davis

( I used to live in New England)

Do audio books count? I listened to David Sedaris' "When you are Engulfed in Flames" over the summer. Fantastic.

And I just stopped at the bookstore today for a true page turner... the 2009 Unofficial Guide.

I just started Eclipse by Stephanie Meyers. I can't put these books down. I usually stick to Christian Mystery/Fiction and love to read series but venture off sometimes with the classics or a good series like Twilight that someone recommends, so keep up the recommendations. I try to read from the Oprah Book Club when I can because I have discovered the old classics are better now than when I was going to school and have really enjoyed them and some of her other recommendations are really good but some are just not for me and I skip them. I usually keep a couple of different books going at one time. DH couldn't believe that I read one of the Harry Potter books in two days. If they are that good, I don't put them down until I finish. My DGSs and I read together. I buy a good Fantasy Series/Teen Series that I think they will like and read them and then pass them on and we discuss them together. This keeps them reading. My oldest DGS is the one who recommended the Twilight series to me on the same day as I saw the thread about it on here. Can't wait to get Host and see what it is about.

Sherri, I'm going to look for your books now.

[Simba's Mom]

I love to read. Right now I'm reading Whiskey Island by Emilie Richards. Before that I read Murder by Puffins by Donna Andrews. I'm glad to see positive comments about Janet Evanovich's books. I was planning to try one after this.

[IloveDisney71]

I'm a big Dean Koontz fan. I've read a ton of his books already and I'm trying to get to the ones I haven't had a chance to yet. I just bought: One Door Away from Heaven and False Memory. I can't wait to start reading them.
