nothing right now i have to go but some new books

[Sweetersmomma]

I am almost through the "Shelter of Stones" by Jean Auel. It's the 5th book (I think - lol) in a fictional series about a prehistoric people. As soon as I'm done with that I'll probably start on "People of the Owl" by the Gears. Their books are historical fiction as well but always with some sort of murder mystery and suspense built into the story.

Right now I'm reading a romance suspence. It's not usually my cup of tea but I joined a bookclub to get a Sex and the City book. LOL I usually read thrillers by authors like Stuart Woods and James Patterson. I like Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton, the VI Warshawski novels... I like Maeve Binchy (Tara Rd is my favorite). I also like the series about Goldy the Caterer by Diane Mott Davidson. Oh yes and the Left Behind series is really good. I still need to read the last two in that series but they are always checked out of the library.

I love Dean R Koontz, and lillian jackson braun.

[Almighty Shelldoo]

my fav fav fav books r the bridget jones diaries...loooove em and i liked nanny diaries and the phycopathic social climber too :lol:

[audrey]

Cora - I like them too! Intensity was the most suspenseful book I have ever read in my life. That's the one with the kidnapper right?

I just finished 2 romance books, and now I am reading a PA Dutch Mystery series by Tamar Myers, The Crepes of Wraths I am always looking for good books to read!

[Sheri]

Well, right now I'm doing a reread. I'm about finished with the Hobbitt, J. R. Tolkien, and I have the 3 book trilogy ready and waiting. It's been about 15 years since I read them and since I just finished watching the 2 movies, I decided to read them again. I've also been on a Jude Deveraux kick the last month or so. I've read everything I've found so far by her. I really like her books. The last one I read was Sweet Liar. Her books are romance with a little suspenseful kick.

[Smoo]

Has anyone ever heard of Inkheart by Claudine Funke?? I picked it up today at Target, I just read the inside cover and it sounded like it may be good. I hope I don't regret it :lol:

[Bret's Bitch]

Audrey, yup sure is!! I have all his books, i read them over and over, my fave is twilight eyes.

[Almighty Shelldoo]

sheri, i love the lor books they r so awesome!

[wanderer]

I just finished the Nanny Diary and am now reading the DiVinci Code, it is good

[CathyandBrandon]

I need to get back into reading I still haven't finished Nightmares & Dreamscapes yet and I haven't started on "hearts in alantis" at all!

[Emmaemms]

I just got done reading She's Come Undone; by Wally Lamb. It was a very very good book. It wasn't something that I'm usually into, it was recommended and I'm glad I read it. I also like Dean Koontz, James Paterson, Patricia Cornwell, Ann Rice, etc.

[Demo Derby Kamakazi]

Oh Shellie you are hooked on chiclit books! me too! The nanny diaries, bridget jones, shop-a-holic confesses! I'm an avid reader and can never affor to read as much as I do! Emmaemms if you liked wally Lamb you should read Too Much Love written by him it's a big book but well worth the read!!

[Demo Derby Kamakazi]

oops my book recomendation would be "The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch" Best book I've read in months!!! The sequel just came out "The Last of The Honkey Tonk Angels" These are basically about a young widow finding her self truly heart teasing, and self realization. Great!!!!

[Bettycrocker]

I just finished reading all of Michael Connely's books... he has one coming out in april or may. He writes Mystery/suspense... If I am not reading mystery I am reading True crime.

Shellie-(sp) East of eden as in steinbeck? I recently got that one for my dh. He reads any and all classics!!! Might I suggest Jeffery Eugenis?? (sp) He is actually a modern writer, but dh says he is ALMOAST as good as steinbeck, (for him that is rare to think anyone who is a new author has any talent) Also my dh likes Anton Checkov He ranks him among one of the best classic authors.

I always get teased for reading modern authors... :)

[Almighty Shelldoo]

yes as in steinbeck.

mags see now i knew i liked u :lol: i love those easy reads :lol: like the hard stuff too but my life is hard at the moment so easy fun is good for me i haven't read the shopohoilic one might need to check it out

[AnAngelsMom]

I definately reccommend Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas. What a freakin' tear jerker. But sooooooooooooo good.

I'm in the middle of Mystic River which is an awesome book too.

[Whitetrashsistafreak]

Ok, right now Im "trying" to read Witch Child. It's about a 14 y/o girl who lives with her grandmothe in the 1600's and her grandmother is hung as a witch, the girl then needs to escape to america. that's as far as I got so far! LOL

Audrey & Cora, You all need to give me some names of GOOD horror books, since I dont know to many I basically stick to Stephen King & Dean Koontz, althougth I have to say, I haven't read anything my DK in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time!

If either of you haven't read Dreamcatcher, I have it if anyone wants to read it!

[Chliodhna]

[Sandra]
