Yay!! Paranormal seems to be my new favorite genre for past year. I have so many to choose from.Storm Front since I'm already 30 pages in.
The Fury and Dark Reunion
Interview With the Vampire
I see that a lot of you are reading Dead Until Dark. Enjoy! It's one of my favorite series and I can't wait for the next book to come out in May.
I love the Sookie Stackhouse books!! They're amazing and it has been exciting watching them unfold on True Blood on HBO. I love watching what they do with the characters, but I love the books much more. I can't believe we have to wait until next May for the next book!
No worries Lyn. Did you see Angels and Demons the movie yet?? I was wondering what you thought of the movie compared to the book?

I knew Angels and Demons came first and I think that was part of the reason why I had put off reading DaVinci Code until I finished Angels and Demons. I really enjoyed Angels and Demons, so I'm looking forward to this book. Thanks!!
There are so many books to choose from this month, but I think my pick is The Da Vinci Code. I still can't believe I haven't read it!! With school just starting, I think I'll stick with this book and hopefully I can finish by the end of the month.
Allie Hamilton from The Notebook. As long as Noah Calhoun is still Ryan Gosling. Yum!

Yes, Jennifer. I'd love to hear what you think. I really want to read this book before seeing the movie, which will be hard to do. The movie looks so good!!

Probably not the best for me to read certain parts while I'm at work, thinki..."I'm really glad you enjoyed the book. I really like it and it was surprising to me that is came from James Patterson. I love his murder mysteries, so that book came to a surprise to me.
I read Sundays at Tiffany's and gave it three stars. It was a very sweet book and a quick read, but it wasn't one of Patterson's best.I wanted to read Wuthering Heights, but I was much too busy to focus on it and I'm planning on reading it during winter break.
Lynne wrote: "Okay, as I said in my other post...I knew I would find a ton of books on this shelf that I wanted to read, even though romance is the genre I like the least. The shelf really has a lot of variety...."
Did you like Dead Until Dark?? Are you hooked?
I love this genre! Thank you!!! My pick for this month is Wuthering Heights. I'm so excited!
I recommend Message in a Bottle to anyone that hasn't read it. One of my favorites by Nicholas Sparks.
Lyn wrote: " A Walk to Remember a true Nicholas Sparks book, sweet, sentimental, and sad at the end. I gave the book three stars. I picked this book because the movie is one of my favorite movies..."
I completely agree with you!! It was cute, but it doesn't touch The Notebook or Message in a Bottle. By the way, what's with the movie, Message in a Bottle. The movie did not do that book justice at all, in my opinion. Have you read The Wedding?
I just finished The Kite Runner. It was absolutely amazing!! What a powerful story of redemption. I loved it from beginning to end. I just finished it 5 mintues ago and I still can't believe it's over. Can't wait to see the movie!

I've read 23 so far, but there are so many on that list that I want to read. I loved Tuesdays with Morrie An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson and I Know This Much Is True, and I wish they were on the list.
Great choice Tara! I can't wait to get started and I have a few choices...The Kite Runner
The Secret Life of Bees
The Da Vinci Code

Hey Lyn! I teach social studies at Harden. Nice to meet you. She got me hooked on bejeweled too!
Hi! I'm Chelsea and I'm 24...almost 25. I'm newly married and I'm a teacher in California. I'm a friend of Lynne's and she's got me hooked on Goodreads. The genre I enjoy reading are mystery/suspense, romance, and fantasy. Can't wait to read more!!
I just finished The Catcher in the Rye.
Reading and hearing so much about this book, I knew it was one I needed to read. I feel like I would have related more to the book if I had read it in high school or early on in college. It definitely brought up memories from my teenage years. I also grew annoyed with Holden, which may be in part with my age. I also can recall moments in the book where I was laughing out loud. I recommend this book because it truely is a classic.
"The Catcher in the Rye" has been on my list to read for so long! I'm so glad I finally have the time to read it. Thanks Lynne for suggesting this group!
